That would seem like it is keeping it on the road and not just around town driving.

 

I just recently bought a $4500 work car since gas is creeping up again. So, for the last 3 weeks my truck has gotten about 20 miles on it. I just changed the engine oil last weekend and 1 gallon of transmission fluid so the truck should be fresh and ready when I need it/

I've got a 2015, will have had it 3 years this coming October and I'm sitting at 35800 and some change right now. I'm one of the those that have the luxury of working close to home, 13 miles one way. Haven't really taken it out of town on a long trip either, only Houston to College Station a few times to visit my son and attend a few football games.

Its funny I bought a sweet 2001 in 06 or 07 with 120k, drove it for 110k more, trouble-free miles, btw and by then it was too rusted to do anything with. I was very sad to let it go, by far it is our favorite. 

 

I then bought a new 2013 2 lt because with rebates it was the same price as used. Had it for 22,222 miles.

 

GM did the 10K off again and I got a 2015 1lt drove it for 29k miles.

 

When Labor day '18 came around GM finally had an LTZ sale so I didnt feel so bad about buying my dream 6.2 which now has 340 miles.

Currently I am setting at around 107k miles. I haven't had to put gas in the truck since August.

Don’t sell this one, you’re going to love it even more than you do now.

Purchased new 2014 Sierra All Terrain with tow package, and now getting transmission replaced at 130,000 miles.  Torque converter was replaced under warranty at 76,000 miles.  Trans fluids changed @ every 35,000 miles.  I tow a few times a month, but trailer with ATV's usually about 2,500 lbs, occasionally I use the larger/heavier trailer (3,300 lbs empty) for a total of @ 5,500 probably 3x a year.  Most towing is 100 miles each way to my cabin.  I did tow a CJ7 on the heavy trailer back from Texas to Ohio last year.

 

My YukonX (2500 series) with the 6.2 that I replaced had 192,000 miles, and towed a lot more with it, to include a few times towing a trackhoe for total load of 8,750lbs.  Never had a transmission problem.

 

So, not happy...  Should have known, as my neighbor had a 2015 Silverado, almost entirely highway miles, and had to replace tranny at 142,000.  He puts @ 50,000 miles on per year, so when that happened, I started to worry and my truck made it another year, then transmission tanked...

Probably gonna be just under 70K on a 2016SLT............Unfortunately, the AC compressor seized & trans temp sensor failed?  I am very impressed with the setup

What kind of issues did you notice when the trans started to go? I change about 1 gallon of fluid every 15k miles. Filter was changed at 65k or so. Currently around 107k miles and trans seems great.

The same as when the torque converter went out, RPM's began to surge with no change in speed.  Tranny temp remained normal, no codes, but you could feel the driveline problem when under load.  It was very subtle at first, but I'm always on the lookout for slight changes in a vehicles operation arising from my aviation background.  It showed up while driving on a 4 hour trip, and was not consistently there, and took it in when I got home.  Acted up on the way to the dealership.

A home builder customer of mine has a 17 that looks just like my 18, LT, silver, double cab. He has 103K trouble free miles already.

    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
    • I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
    • I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
