Definitely over 100k. Closing in on 114k now. I got it tuned back in September. I've also had my fair share of issues with my truck. At 105k the condenser sprung a leak at that same weld everyone else has had leak. Then just last month, my AC compressor went out and blew a quarter size hole out the side of it. So not only did I replace the AC compressor, but I had to change out the condenser again to make sure there was no shrapnel in the system. 
 
Other than the AC issues, the truck has been solid. Changed spark plugs and wires at 100k. Front and rear diffs had fluid changed and now I'm just waiting for my brakes to make one squeak and then I'm putting on powerstop z36 rotors and brakes for the front and back. I have them sitting in a box in my garage. 
Are you running a catch can?

Yes, I am running a catch can. Have had it since 37k miles. I did however have blackbear disable AFM with my tune.

2014 Silverado 4.3L with 131k on the dash. Bought it around oct 2016 with 45k. Left it bone stock up until about 5k ago. The only maintenance that I have done is oil changes really, around 70k had 2 injectors go the dealer blamed it on (bad gas) but they don’t know shit considering they can’t tighten a jam nut during alignment lol Js and about 15 miles after the injector fix I got an engine light and they said it was a bad cat. So I never got It fixed still runs fine. About 5k ago got a intune i3 turner on a whim, and made my own intake, and it woke up big time. also put a 2inch lvl kit on. No catch can but I just got one and will be putting it on soon. Came across this thread while on the hunt for fluids to replace and other maintenance I should do? All suggestions are welcome my ears are open

2014 Sierra 6.2 with 107k here and only big repairs have been the AC condenser from the weld and the starter. Seafoam at 100k and regular oil and air filter changes since then. Planning on a day to do diff, tranny, and brake fluids; changing the spark plugs and checking the wires should be all until 112.500.

IS the truck completely stock?  AFM on and no catch can?

Afm was disabled by a diablosport at 207k and no catch can.

85,000 miles. No catch can. AFM active every minute. 5K service intervals. Still on OEM tires :rolleyes:. Purrrrrrrrrrrrrfect.

My buddy's 14 Silverado 5.3  101,000 just last week. Bone stock no catch can no tune. He does nothing but change the oil 1 time a year. Hell he never had an A/C issue. Oh yeah new breaks about 99,000. Hope my 15 hold up as good as his has.

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.

Also curious to this ^^^ and as to how many have had AFM working the whole time.

2016 SLT 75,000 AFM working with no intention of disabling it.  AC compressor seized is only thing that has troubled me.

10K Oil Intervals.

After working on 1000s of diesels I have noticed oil changes affect engines more than anything. You can tell who does them when you pull off the first rod cap.

    • 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.
    • 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
    • Looks like the entire state is burning. 😬
    • 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.
