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.

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

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.....

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
