Hello all. I've been obsessing over the new GMC and this site for awhile now and finally joined tonight. The truck I wanted with the 6.2 and sunroof was almost non-existant in north Texas but a GMC chat rep located one an hour away and we got it on Tuesday. It's a black 2014 Denali crew, 6.2, 4x4 with the cocoa/dune interior. It has the black GM 6-spoke 22's which I was not sure about at first but they have grown on me now. Immediate plans include better floormats, a Line X and tinting all around. Also considering removing the plastic air dam and the side steps and tuning in the future (actually almost emailed Black Bear tonight since they are coming to Fort Worth soon but think waiting for a bit would be wise).

 

We traded in a 2012 Superduty King Ranch which was just too much truck for us and everything about it was expensive. Before that we had a 2007 Sierra crew 4x4 with a Nelson-tuned Vortec Max which I loved and had great power.

 

Everything about the 2014 is awesome so far and it's good to be back to GM (the wife drives a Yukon Denali). All of your posts on here were very helpful in the decision to buy a 2014 and this is by far the best site for the new trucks. Andrewpost-129063-0-43314400-1394954225_thumb.jpg

Nice choice, good luck with it. Those black wheels look legit on a white truck also.

Oh I think it looks GREAT! Plus I am really jealous over the guage cluster.. I love that techy stuff.. I like the look of the Silverado more than the Sierra, but I would almost have gone for the Denali just for the cluster.. I didn't even know about it until after I bought mine.

Yea the Denali gauge cluster is cool. I don't know why they don't put a similar gauge cluster int he high country Silverado's. That trim is supposed to be the "equal" of the Denali, just in Chevrolet form.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
