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.

    • I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.
    • I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments
    • Looks like the entire state is burning. 😬
    • Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
