I have a '14 CC LB 6.2L with 91,000 miles only issues so far:

Seat movement fix solved by dealership

Headlights solved with LED aftermarket

Paint chipping on bumper (painted all terrain) solved with complete strip and repaint

New Battery around September

 

Items to note:

Engine is still perfect and idles smoother now than when new (primarily run 93 from speedway)

 

On the Vibration issue:

Truck came stock with 18" wheels and crap Goodyear tires.

I upgraded to stock 20" wheels that had been black powder coated. More importantly I went with Continental cross contact tires because a friend with a Ford had 20" wheels with Michelin M/S 2 tires that vibrated that he changed to the Continental tires with success in stopping vibration. Truck rides amazing.

 

Only issue I have is the Tailgate easy lift and soft down. Simply wears out way to easy. The bushing on the right side keeps breaking and the torsion bar must be getting weak as well because the tailgate keeps opening way to fast. Other than that all is well and works perfect...

 

did you have a catch can?

Thank you for the links. I searched for the topic, but didn't find anything. I guess you have to search exactly what another topic is titled? Maybe it works better if I was to do it from my MacBook. Thanks again.

I bought mine used in October 2015 with 42k. It is currently easing into 70k and runs great. I am averaging 23.45 mpg over the time I have had the truck. So far I am happy with the truck. It does have some rattling noise in the door trim that I can't seem to fix. Otherwise it's been good so far.

Lol, this is how I feel too. I don't really want to get to that 100000 mile mark. When I do, it's tuning time[emoji51]

My 2017 Silverado Max Tow extended cab 4X4 just turned over 36,000 today.

 

I bought it new 1/21/17 and other than the leaky on-star antenna, its been 100% reliable.

 

Pros:

Decent mileage even with the 3:73 gearing

Good ride quality, quiet inside

Cons:

Transmission a bit clunky, not terrible, just not smooth like the early GM six speeds

Poor headlight illumination, low terrible, high beams OK at best.

 

Hoping to roll this one up to around 175K in another 4 years with basic maintenance tires ect.

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
