The first thousand miles seem to go by in a flash ... and then so do the next 50k. 

 

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact mine is ELEVEN going on TWELVE years old! Where did the time go?  :confused:

With my previous truck, I blinked, had it for a year and about 20K.

Sounds like you did about the same annual mileage as I did when I first got mine. Was commuting over 50 miles a day - put 22k on it the first year.

Another 4k miles, and you'll have caught up to my '07!

 

She's more of a garage queen as of late. Coal hauling is only once a year, and the car hauling seemed to be destroying this thing, so I only do it when absolutely necessary these days. Think I put 1,200 miles on it in the past 6 months .. maybe less!

Nice. Even at 94k, this truck is still the newest vehicle I've ever owned in my life, LOL. :lol:

I won't be purchasing a new truck for a very long time, only used going forward.  So keep taking good care of your trucks so that I have something good to look forward to!!

Doing brakes on a 2013 3500 SRW, these new style "dustless" caliper glide pins are a nightmare.  Had to replace 3 calipers do to bottom glide pins being seized inside caliper.

Drove to Lancaster yesterday afternoon, proved to be a wasted trip, drop to Edwards to go help my wife with something at her work, took the family to dinner in Rosamond, and then around midnight, drove to Lancaster to have a bite with some of the guys that I work with.

Start back to work on Monday, after 15 weeks of recovery from the collision.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jus Cruisin · Posted

      I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff".

      The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
