When I bought my '04 Sierra 4 years ago, it had 180k km with about 350 engine hours.  Obviously, it must have spent it's life on a high-speed oval...

460 hours is not bad. 18 mph average. Gotta remember these things are idling more thanks to remote start and people wanting their vehicle warm or cold before they get in it. Isn't like 20 minutes you

If you really keep running "Pepper" like this it's probably gonna loose the weak Trans6L80 and definitely lifter failures due to the CHEAP GM ENGINEERED "GIMMICKY" is what most on these threads call t

I have 103,800 miles and like 2840 hours, so roughly 36-37mph too.   Since I've owned I bet I've done 50+ hours of idling over the past two winters LOL.

109850 miles and 2839 hours = 38.69 MPH. I am sure the MPH has came down quite a bit in the last few years. The truck was my daily driver up until about 18 months ago. Since that time the truck has probably picked around 5000 miles.

My 2007 Silverado has 80734 miles and 171.3 hours on it when I bought I th this month . 

Just a note, but it's not unusual for the hour meter to reset on the GMT800 instrument panels...  When I bought mine, there were 180k km on the truck, with just over 300 hours.  Obviously, NASCAR was using to pace every race they had....

If you really keep running "Pepper" like this it's probably gonna loose the weak Trans6L80 and definitely lifter failures due to the CHEAP GM ENGINEERED "GIMMICKY" is what most on these threads call the AFM JUNK any day now.  I would sell this "Highly" used/abused vehicle sooner than later.  LOL

Think I'll keep rolling the dice.

We'll see what the cash offer is at 500,000 miles.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
