I don't know what will happen when I need to replace this truck. I don't like the idea of forward hinged doors on the ex cab, the current setup is great for loading bulky things. I don't need or much like crew cabs and that's what the ex cab is becoming.

I could go for that, or in the very least auto up for the driver.

My 2006 Silverado had both driver and passenger side auto power down.

 

My 2007 Sierra (NBS) only has driver auto power down.

 

Why would they remove this feature?

 

What were they thinking?

I care more about my window having auto up than the passenger window having any of that. I rarely have passengers or many reasons to open the passenger window.

AC in back seats of crew cabs for sure. Bigger front and back seat leg room like the Fords have now. Would love auto up on windows too. How about a freaking dedicated switch for a cargo light, idiot who deleted it on the 900s should be castrated. I like the air bag system the new 13 rams have. Sounds cool in theory

Dedicated cargo lamp switch would be nice. Hell, as it sits it won't work when the truck is in motion anyhow which makes it useless if you want to check the security of the load when driving.

Why do so many people oppose you? What are you planning?

Well, let's see. Many oppose me because:

First, I'm a fan of two professional sports teams that suck, and second, because I've been married for quite some time and am the only male in my house. As for what I'm planning, well, let's see. I'm planning to get my truck fixed after some chick in an old taurus decided that my rear quarter was too straight and my wheels too shiny. I'm also planning to celebrate eighteen glorious(she made me say that) years of marriage on Labor day. I have very few plans, and none that involve the actual destruction of all who oppose me. Unless they drive an old, silver taurus. Besides, if your screenname or ID or whatever we call it here is Therapy, I would prefer to start with my childhood before we jump right into my current issues. I'm already on my couch...

You forgot my original intent with my post- hot pockets for everyone!

By the way, are they good? I see guys at work droppin' 'em like crab cakes, but they look a little scary to me.

I feel better, thanks Doc. Same time next week?

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.

      Radio Update

      By newdude · Posted

      PCM?  These don't have a "PCM".  Powertrain Control Module.  They have an ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module).   Do you mean update the radio?     You can check what version you have in the settings page.  Should be Y181 but there might be a newer build they can update it to.
