2016 LT crewcab, 129463. Replaced upper and lower A-arms, front bearings(110,000 miles), transmission(126,000 miles), catalytic converter(under warranty). Likes to through P219A code every once in a while. No catch can or AFM delete. Although since I added E rated tires AFM doesn't kick in much anymore.

Just today, I reached this milestone (yeah, I'm a 12 year old) ...

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.

2014 Silverado 1500, 180k. Many highway miles, new fuel pump and ac condenser and transmission blew at 160k because previous owner would leave the truck on auto instead of two wheel drive all the time.

Why would leaving the transfer case in auto instead of 2WD blow the transmission? If anything wouldn't it blow the transfer case instead?

By my calculations, my 2015 Silverado would have about 90K, had it not gotten totaled 2 years ago.  My 2018 currently has about 25K, and is parked until my wife and daughter (both) return to work, minus the occasional Home Depot and/or Lowe's runs.  Been putting the little bit of fuel savings towards some of our small bills, trying to get out of debt (AGAIN! We were down to vehicles & house payments, until.....the wreck ruined it for us).

No, Your trans blew because of the crappy Torque Converter issue. Mine went at 120k miles on my 2014. About 30k miles after getting a dealer trans flush done.

Have you gotten that service before 160k?

122k 14' 5.3 6spd 3.42 Just had the trans flushed and new filter n gasket today. I keep up on the maintenance. Had the condenser go out at 85k. New plugs, 10.4mm wires, catch can, trans thermo delete. Been great so far (knock on wood) will definitely keep her! 20' front calipers n rotors coming soon along with 5100's all around. 8c70ee177c356a04538e00f57d9b8b92.jpg

That's the truth, had trans flush at 92k preventive maintenance thinking here. 12k later trans goes out. Glad I bought the extended warranty only paid deductible. You can say the extended warranty paid for it self in this instance.

2015 Yukon Denali

90k miles

lots of warranty work 

 

new trans 14k

#6 failed lifter

new fuel injector

ac condensor

radiator

3 of 4 mrc shocks

2 fuel pumps

GPS antenna

battery / ground cable 

pulley tensioner

headlight lens fogged and replaced

several sensors

tow brake/ gain switch

blower fan hvac 

 

without my extended warranty , I’d be F’d.

 

 

Would love to get 200k out of this, but not sure I want to foot the bill to get there if I continue to have significant issues.

 

I maintain all of my vehicles meticulously, so I expect better.  Lots of cheaply made components that fail way too early.

 

Oil changes 5k full syn

Diff, transfer case Trans fluids changed at 40k- with syn fluids

coolant and brake fluids flushed.

Grumps where's yours at?  Are you out of winter storage yet?  These K2's love the Salt, the more the better!  I am about to hit 135K and she is just barely holding it together!

I'm at 73,500 and I'm getting transmission drain and filter change. I'm not having flush done to many people have problems after that. Hope I don't have problems after having it done. It shifts fine now with no problems.

Love the height, low but not too low. Perfect

 

What’s the setup? Pro’s and con’s of that setup? Ie hitting front lip on curb, ride quality, etc. Do you ever haul any weight in the bed? (Its ok if you don’t i wont judge)

Right after the February freeze we had a nice warm up. Trickle charged the battery. Quick check of the fluids. Had not started her for the last 10 weeks. When the key got just near she jumped to life and purrr' d like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 

Your going to pass me. Not quite 135,000. 

 

Your really need to take better care of the sand whipped pup you drive 😉 Barely holding together indeed :crackup:

 

Luke is whipping us both

195K and counting on the Silverado...6.2 still sans catch can, full AFM, and returning up to 20 MPG over 300-400 miles!

 

Transmission got a new valve body due to suspected cooked solenoids....shifting indicates problem solved!

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.
