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....

Any way I can find the true hours on it. I just dont think its telling me the truth

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.

I don't think so, as I believe it's only stored in the IP.

Note, if you just bought the truck, you can't really trust the mileage displayed either, as it's also only stored in the IP, and it's trivial to swap the IP.  I'm don't know if the IP stores a copy of the VIN so it's possible to check with something like a tech ii, if not, you can only tell if the IP isn't programmed right (for example, if you have 4wd, and it's working right, but the 4wd light on the IP doesn't come on, stuff like that).

Some service books will give service intervals in both hours and miles. Diesel particulate filter service comes to mind. First one I found equated 100,000 miles to 3,000 hours or 33.3 mph. Ford Fleet Services maintenance equates a hour of idle time to an equivalent wear of 30 mph but this same service indicates that most fleet vehicles they track average 36 mph. 

 

To me that suggest that normal is somewhere between 33.3 and 36 mph. So more of a range than a hard target. Your vehicle is 31.6 mph.

 

Same number I gave you in your other post.

:rolleyes:

Oooo boy.
My truck is at 110,000 miles and it has around 4,000 engine hours. Not exactly ideal, but it is what it is. It was a fleet vehicle I bought used and they idled it a lot. Doesn't bother me all too much and I've been very conservative since then, but it is something that I kind of think about from time to time, lol.

Yes, 27.5 is pretty low. This kind of service in my garage would call for a pretty short oil change interval. 

 

I have 3600 hours on Pepper and she's clocked 151,790 or 42.2 mph and I'm not a fast driver. 5K OCI's.

Hi Guys.

 

I just bought a used GMC Yukon XL 2013 in Saudi Arabia. I am in doubt of Odometer reading authenticity, the reading says 110,000 km (68,750 miles) but Engine Hours seems very high to me - 3800 for this odometer reading.

 

Is it normal or am I being duped by the dealer (though I don't know he was in knowledge of any possible interference with odo reading from the original Owner). 

 

Would love to hear feedback from you guys (even if the outcome is bad for my investment 😄).

Thx.

It could be legit.  I put on about 130k over the last 7 years or so on my truck, and I believe the hr meter is in the low 3000's now (it had reset shortly before I bought it, was sitting around 325hrs then).  It's a daily work truck, not a lot of idling, around the city...

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
