Project 900

[98 Z71 SLT]

Many members here lately checking up on glitches/problems/ reliability of our 900 series trucks.

 

So, let's give our purchase date, current miles, and any warranty work done so far.

 

Daily driver

 

2010 Silverado LS, 1850 miles, 4.8. Bought June 2010

 

No issues as of yet. I pulled the OnStar fuse because I hated the incoming messages from OnStar.

 

No leaks, still drives tight. No road noise.

 

Front brake rotors have very slight out-of-round pulsation. Has not bothered me enough yet to fix it.

No problems here either. I also have the brake pulsating issue at 36,000 miles.

'08 Sierra SLT, 51,000 km, March '08

 

Fuel Pump replaced

Minor Rattle in sunvisor

Engine Ticks for 5 min or so on start up - No fix yet

Engine burns about a litre of oil every 1000 km - No fix yet, doing an oil consumption survey

Had rotors turned at 48,000 for pulsation when braking

Heavy condensation in one brake light

 

Other than that, a pretty flawless vehicle.

[oldmann]

2007 sierra. 40k wheels at 25k due to corrosion. Needs drivers door detention replaced. Front rotor pulse at 30k.

 

Love it!

[Matt_]

08 Sierra Crew, 6.2L. Coming up on 25k miles

 

Drivers front and passenger rear door actuators replaced (one at 5k and the other around 12k)

Center brake light replaced at 8k (probably tightened too much from factory, spider cracks extruding from screw hole)

Loud body bushing causing squeak/creak sound behind dash. I installed Teflon pad per TSB. Maybe at the 10k mark.

 

On really cold mornings i'll have some engine knock on startup for the first 2-3 minutes.

[L76PWRD]

2007 V-Max 90,000 miles, bought July Of 2007

 

Daily Driver

 

Problems so far

 

Changed the front brakes three times and it needs front brakes soon.

 

Changed the rear brakes twice, so far so good.

 

Stock 17s used them for 20,000 miles, got a set of 20s with the Goodyear Eagle LS2 after and tires lasted 60,000 miles.

 

Broke the transmission at 80,000 miles, got it fixed under warranty.

 

Other than that it has been a great truck.
