The adjuster is suppose to look at it no later than today, but with all the thunderstorms and rain, it probably won't happen.

Figures. Anything to hold up the process.

I just put 400000miles on my 06 Sliverado 5.3 liter

I must share I'm a proud owner of my 1989 GMC Sierra 2500 with over 600,000 miles and still my everyday driver.  This truck has done a lot of hard work for me. Original motor. Basic maintenance and pa

Mine too!   I rolled over 306,000 miles on the way into the office this AM. I replaced the original 4.8L motor with a junkyard 5.3L at the 220K mark, but the trans and rear are untouched and origin

All right Zach so here it goes. Got the new truck. 2000 Chevy 2500. 363k miles. Well since I didn't drive it for all those miles do I get an honorary spot in the club?

original engine? 3rd rebuilt tranny?

From the records I was given with the truck...neither. Being a 2500 with the 4L80 trans I'd believe it to be original. The LS engine have been known to easily make this kind mileage so I'm confident that everything is from the factory with no rebuilds.

I have 265,000 on mine. I was well on pace to go over 300,000 last year, but I ended up acquiring my wife's gas sipper when I bought her a new kid hauler. My truck gets driven once a month now, and usually just enough to heat everything up.

 

All original drivetrain. Did the mandatory GM fuel pump replacement at 150,000, and brakes, shocks, and suspension components as needed. I'd keep it forever if it was a crew cab!

Nice! It would make me a hypocrite if I said no. What kind of deal did you get on it?

Got the truck for $2500. The dealer hadn't cleaned and fixed it all up so I got it for cost. It's good to have friends that work for dealers.

I'm a little offended by the selling it to a retail customer would be too embarrassing. If I was in the market for a budget friendly truck a well maintained high mileage truck would be considered.

I'm sad that the dealer only offered them $1000 for it. That's loyalty for ya I guess.

An arrival blue SS with that many miles should at least be kept at the dealer for a show piece

... And the dealer they took it in to trade offered them $1000 for it and they took it! Wow...

 

I would have given them $1000 for it just for the parts!

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      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.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      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

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.
