I think if I was a salesmen I would research the products I would be selling. I wouldn't like it if a customer came in knowing more than me.

Mine gets pretty bad mileage at 180 mph. Maybe I should get a bed cover.

This was taken last week when I filled up. So far I have put this many miles on the truck. Hopefully it stays like this. We will see.

So do I! It was mostly city and country driving. .. I'd say 70% city, 20% country and 10% highway.

 

Hopefully it will get better...I told my dealer I'll play GMs game... But the first tank after 2000 miles and it is going in. My dealer wants it now.

So here is an update for the truck I purchased in the beggining of December. I have owned this truck for a total of 4 months now. I am right at 6,000 miles and I am now consistently getting 18mpg! I took my truck on I44 over the weekend and drove about 100 miles on the interstate and was making 24.5 mpg cruising between 75-80 mph! What everybody told me about letting it break in was true! Also, my truck coasts a lot better now and I do not have to stay in the gas pedal to keep the speed up. I have made no modifications what so ever. I am now very happy with my purchase!

Really happy so far with results i've been getting in town. This is a 6.2L 2wd DC 3.73. I learned to utilize the V4 mode driving my G8 so the experience is helping with city driving. I really think V4 mode is easier to acheive and hold in the truck vs the car which is odd as I thought the weight and wind resistance would make it more difficult. Completely opposite. I guess programming advancements to this has improved over the years and could be from the additional gearing. My total average is at 15.1 and the pic below was my last 50. And yes I have rolled into it a few times but I'm mainly trying to see what is acheivable just city.

You're in the same boat as me, my lifetime MPG (3700 miles) is like 12.8 and I do 50/50 hwy/city driving... dealership told me to pound sand haha

My lifetime. Although at one point this past weekend I was getting about 25 mpg US doing about 60 mph. That's about the best I've ever had.

Question guys. I have a 2014 sierra stock 17 inch rims. I want to get 20's with some thick tires and want to lift front 1 inch and back 3 inches, who should I be asking to reprogram the computer so I get the correct rotations and mpg?

If I ask dealer wouldn't that void my warranty?

You are going to have some serious rake with a lift like that..

6.2 High Country 4X4. I could not be happier with the fuel mileage. My previous 2013 Crew Cab 6.2 was NOT even remotely close.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
