592 miles on a tank of gas, HTF are you doing that?  You doing 35mph downhill the whole time?

I have about an 85 mile round trip to work. About 15 miles in the morning on the interstate and the remainder is 55 mph roads. I am in no rush and I don't have to be in a race with everyone to be first at the gate house to get in to work in the morning.

 

I was getting nervous when I took this picture. It quit giving miles remaining til empty.

thanks!     My truck has no mods.  AFM is enabled, no catch can, stock everything.  Once it warms up ill give it some fresh plugs, fluids and a level.   IMO the key is to keep it c

I'm betting he just filled up at a station on a hill, reset Trip B, and then rolled downhill to the house.  ;)

592 miles down hill idling all the way. ?

Yeah, I've watched those mile-o-meters...they start out like that and drop 2 to 3 miles for every actual mile traveled...hand calculate it.

I was just showing it is possible to get close to 600 miles on a tank of gas. Hand calculated mpg was 23.312 mpg. So yeah, the read out is off just a mile or so. My 60000 mile average is 22.960.

I have owned 4 of these newer platform trucks. I am hoping this last one is a long term as some of my past ones. Those LS motors are the BEST motor GM has made. I have seen in excess of 300k with no issues. I still regret getting rid of my 2007 Sierra to get the latest and greatest! Best of luck. The LS motors are worth the repairs!

They were good LT's are cut above.....

This. My DIC for gas mileage is consistently 1-1.5mpg higher than hand calculated

What’s annoying is there ain’t one truck in that thread with over 100k on it. Not sure what people think high mileage is but 30k don’t count...

2015 Sierra 5.3 with 108,000 miles, been rock solid reliable!

I met a guy last week that had a 2014 Sierra with 173k on it, and was still running strong. Interior and exterior looks brand new... blew my mind. 

 

Personally my 2014 Sierra is at the 83k mark. Only problem I’ve ever had is the a/c going out, and that was the classic broken plastic valve whatever-you-call-it.

15 Sierra Crew/std bed, 5.3/6spd max tow. Have over 150k and still going. Not 1 issue, still looks and drives like new considering the abuse she's been put through. This bitch works hard and keeps coming back for more! Aside from 3 sets of tires, light bulbs, level, aal, and shocks, I haven't done anything, except routine maintenance. No catch can. Wait! I had the ac condensor and pump replaced. Unfortunately NOT under fuggin warranty because that's been gone for a year. 1100 later and my ac is fresh again!

 

Only thing I do is drive in manual mode in 5th. Keeps it in v8 mode. I don't baby this truck at all. When not towing or hauling i drive it like a race car. 373s with the 6spd make it feel quick/fun so traction and stabilitrac are turned off often! ff04034fc013d796ece220665e3eca94.jpgaf66ab21a2cbba409b0abf470a619120.jpg2e5d1e84fa262582b03ab52bf37d20a3.jpgf986f2107b1852a040d92506fedbb227.jpg

^ With as much junk as my catch can collects, I still haven't seen a single issue caused by coking even from the high mileage folks. Glad yours is running strong!

Not to long ago I bought a 100k 2014 GMC 6.2, that looks and drives like a 10k mile truck.  I've only had it for 5K miles now but it runs like a scalded dog.  I had an 2008 denali 6.2 with header and a tune with 180k miles before it was totaled.  I know it's a different engine but it didn't scare me.  I've wait the 5k miles to mod it just to make sure every thing was solid. 

 

Now it's time for headers, custom tune and E85 conversion.

Other than :

1.  A motor mount at the first 10k miles

2.  Two radiators

3.  AC condenser 

4.  Plugs / wires

5.  Replaced broken header bolts with studs

6.  Changed differentials, tranny fluid and t case fluid

7.  Brakes and tires

8.  A few blown bulbs

9.  Replaced junk blown rancho shocks 

 

its been a great truck.   Now that I have it where I want it at 92k miles, the tranny gets to go in for a front pump replacement.....

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
