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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By newdude · Posted

      There is a p/n called out in the one PI that GM has.  Curt 57003 inline load adapter that is used for LED trailers that are having trouble with these newer trucks.  No cutting, no splicing, etc.  GM did update the lighting module around 2023 to better pick up trailers with LED lighting, but it still can happen.     Here's the link to the Curt site for it - 7-Way RV Blade LED Electrical Adapter (Not a Wiring Extension) SKU #57003 by CURT   The PI I am referencing - MC-10208985-9999.pdf   Its not just a GM deal either.  Newer Fords and Rams have this same problem.       In another PI, they recommend that the trailer has a Pollock brand 7 way on it as that is who makes the truck sides for the OEMs.  GM is also big on making sure the trailer is trouble free.  So no wiring issues, all lights are functional, better quality 7 way plug, etc.     The other PI I am referencing - MC-10178359-9999.pdf   The model year range is older but it is the current PI for 2014-2026.  It calls out the Pollock RV HD 7 way they recommend.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That's part of the problem...the EGR has already been replaced, and I've already had the complete intake assembly removed, and the EGR passages were clear at that time. That leaves wiring, PCM, or another variable that I wasn't expecting. Best I can tell, it's not wiring or the PCM, so I'm grasping for straws.   The PCM uses the MAP reading to confirm the requisite loss of vacuum in the manifold when the EGR activates. Since that's vacuum related, it involves a lot of other systems which could play a role.   The overall diagnosis has to be considered too. The fuel lines in the intake had rubbed through and were dumping fuel into the intake, drowning the cylinders in fuel, and putting raw fuel into the sump and cat converter. The fuel system has been fixed but the complete path of damage may not be. If the cat was damaged and melted the internals, it could be partially obstructed and also playing into the EGR issue.   I'm retracing my steps; trying to go back to thinking thinking Horses not Zebras based on the clues I've been given. These engines aren't *that* complex.   Could it be, now that the truck is running well, that carbon and crud from being run with the fuel system in disarray is now dislodging and clogged my clean EGR passages where I can't see?  That's what the code is actually saying. The flow is restricted, dummy. Retrace step 1.   I may just need to remove the lower intake again. Before I do that I'm going to try removing the EGR and running the engine for a few seconds to see if it will blow anything lodged in the egr passages out through the open ports.     That's been helpful in the past. For the spider injector, there's no guarantee I'll get a working one. The spider I have seems fine now that the high pressure fuel line isn't making an early delivery via large hole. SO at least I'm not marooned and looking for one of those.   Row52 (dot com) is also a good one for watching for vehicles at local yards.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Disassembly may be Required!   Every blender makes claims but do  you ponder those claims? What was really said? Was it true?  Motive for saying it? What does in infer?  Is that inference true?    Let's do one.    Claim: Made from shear stable base oils.    What was said: Base Oils are shear proof.   Was it true: Yes.  ALL base oils are Newtonian.    Motive / Inference: To imply the fully formulated product is Shear Proof.    Is the Inference true?: Most fully formulated multigrade oils contain Viscosity Modifiers or VM's, sometimes called VII or Viscosity Index Improvers. There are four types. One is in fact shear proof but it also has a bad effect on extreme cold flow and is restricted to use in specialty oils. A second has limited shear called a 0-5 SSI polymer. Meaning its shear is limited to a range of zero to five percent as reported by the ASTM D6278 Shear Stability Index test. A few high end oils, like Torco SR-5, use them and brag about it profusely. Actually all that use it point it out. The last two shear dramatically and are often marketed as a 'feature' of the product aiding the oil to meet fuel standard requirements of ever stricter rules. One shears more than 5% and the other up to 20%. As you make guess, cost is directly linked to shear down and as such the majority of oils use the cheapest organic polymers sold to make grade and pass stringent tests.    PPD's or Pour Point Depressants also shear a bit, only a few percent and hide inside the 0-5 SSI capabilities.    The blender knows he can not out engineer Stribeck. Physics is not a suggestion. But he can wordcraft the unsuspecting toward believing a false claims INFERENCE. This is LEGAL. It is COMMON, and it is EFFECTIVE.

      2006 Silverado HVAC sensor location in dashboard

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I don't recall ever dealing with one on an '06 and back. It may not even exist on that. I can't remember for sure.   Any kind of ice in or after the evaporator is normally due to low charge with both a clutch-cycling orifice tube system, and a TXV system.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      Engines wear. It is unavoidable. So the question isn't if it will wear out but rather WHEN it will wear out. That question is about rate and RATE is a HUGE problem for almost everyone; but not in the way we may think.    Unless there is something drastically wrong with your powertrain, wear is exceedingly slow. It doesn't wear out in minutes or hours or days or months but in years or even decades. Ditto sludge and varnish. Humans are an impatient lot so to see the benefit of a truly superior product you may have to wait a very long time. Most will get bored first and trade before they reap the benefit.   Humans are not companionate creatures when it comes to those we do not know. We don't care what happens to the second or third owner as long as it doesn't happen to us or someone we know and actually like.   Sad commentary on humans but it is what it is. That thus, then, there is no advantage...to or for you if the above paragraphs adequately describe you.    BUT if you are a buy and hold type and patient enough to reap the rewards of your labors then that thing that is happening that you haven't yet seen, but will; can be abated by such products. Seals harden and leak with time and lots of it. Rings stick after thousands of miles of a slowly building plaque of varnish.    Then there is this. This didn't happen over night and this poor fellow knew when he removed the cover and not one second before.   Not "aware' isn't the same thing as "isn't happening".        The above was typical of the Ford 361 and 391 bus motors on Bulk Pennzoil Mineral Oil products on 3K mile OCI's at about 60K miles back in the 60's and 70's at the Anamosa School District when my Uncle took over their maintenance program.    This is Pepper at @ 165K on 5K OCI's using Group IV/V Full Synthetics.      HM oils will help the first but not the second.    Then again if one used..... ah, ya know.....
