catch can and AFM disabling seem to be a gm truck forum myth. most vehicles over 100k are all stock

Seems to be so much emphasis on a catch can and afm delete. To each their own but some of these posts prove it is not a necessity.

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]

2014 Silverado WT - 138,000km (85,750m)

2015 Sierra SLT AT - 27,000km (16,775m) parked in winters.

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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Care to wager that those diesels don’t get better than 20 mpg? Those trucks are well kept and pristine. One is north of 250K the other is close to 175K. Never had any major repairs. It’s amazing how condensation you can get. The difference is I can back up what I say. All you do is get upset and spicy. Karen, that’s funny. Happens to be my wife’s, granddaughter and sister in law’s name. So much for originality.

      Alternate wiring for Kicker sub with Bose system. (DO THIS)

      By Mooriartii · Posted

      I have a 2026 LT Trail Boss with Bose. I am very confused trying to install the GM/Kicker under seat subwoofer kit.  The directions want you to tap the yellow/yellow black wire for the front speaker for high level inputs.  I do not want to follow those as I want to grab the tap at the Bose amplifier since I don't want to mess up the factory wiring.   I picked up a T-harness from Soundgoodstereo that plugs into the 8 pin connector at the amp, I believe x1.  This thread started of recommending that.  Now question related to this harness, it has four sub wires.  I assume one set positive and one set negative. The Kicker amp is only looking for one negative and one positive.  Do I just use one set on this harness or do I two positive into one positive and two negative into one positive?   Now if I want to use the specified wires in the instructions, is there a T-harness for that?     If I could get both then I could test and see which I like better without tapping.   Finally is there a place I can get an updated Bose amp pin out diagram?  This install should not be as hard as I am making it.  Any advice is appreciated.     Oh, I will be using the Kicker bass adjust knob.

      I'll take a newer truck over either of the aforementioned bricks any day, all day and nope a one ton diesel isn't getting high 20's (or even 30) average.   Hear the same thing all the time on RV forums. "I refuse to own a diesel that uses DEF because they're so unreliable!" Uh, ok Karen, well, you enjoy your busted 20+ year old rigs, nevermind the backbone of this country rides on modern diesels. But sure, let's talk about your ancient Cummings some more. (and yeah, that was an intentional misspell).

      Forward Collision Alert unavailable after adding rear view mirror camera

      By Andrew Weaver · Posted

      I recently added the digital rear view mirror camera to my 2022.5 Silverado 1500, and now I have a permanent orange light on my instrument cluster with forward collision alert unavailable message. In the past, I was always able to just pull and replace the fuse on the passenger side fuse box and it would work again, but now it's not working at all.    I purchased the kit from Infotainment.com and the harness from Gen5DIY.    Has anyone else had this issue or any suggestions?

      Sitting at my parents house are two older diesel trucks not only getting the same fuel mileage that the mini diesel gets. But both have pulled a 14K tractor on a 7K gooseneck trailer. A 2000 Ford one ton diesel and a 1998 3/4 ton 5.9 Cummins. All original. I’m certainly not complaining about the power of today’s trucks. But the additional quest for fuel mileage and the additional pollution devices have taken reliability down to half what it used to be.
