What did you replace them with? 

+2 on Junk Ranchos (Tenneco's) :smash:

Honestly, I decided to try upgraded Rancho's (5000x series) ..... so far so good.... ride and handling is better, the only drawback is the rust on the rear shocks.... but for the price, I'll toss them next spring and put two new ones in.....

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 have a 2014 silverado and just hit 80k miles, condensor had to be replaced at 42k miles and again this summer at 74k miles but GM warrantied the second job, now it needs a new pinion seal in the rea

2015 GMC Sierra with 127,000 miles. Transmission had to be replaced at 125,000 miles. I decided on a factory reman tranny from GM. $3150 OTD at my local dealer in Arizona. Just want to spread the word as my Sierra has more miles than most. I drive roughly 40,000 miles a year for my job. Also had a leaking rear differential seal at about 110,000 miles.

 

Honestly, I’m thinking Tundra for my next truck. It would seem GM doesn’t build their half ton trucks like they used to. 

 

Or maybe I’m just really unlucky and got a bad truck?

Does any car/truck manufacturer build their vehicles like they used to ? :confused:

True, but judging by the resale on the Tundras I think they are a cut above the rest.

I'm about a month away from my "one year of ownership, point", and I currently have 26,000 miles on my 2018. I expect to end the year at 28,000. I actually started driving the wife's car on the weekends because I was on pace for 36,000 miles and I thought...do I really want to be out of my bumper to bumper warranty before the year is even out?

 

I like the truck, I haven't had any real issues with it, I've managed to average 24.1 mpg during that time...although cold weather driving over the last four months has really chipped away at that (before the winter my average was 25.9, I'm serious). Now on a typical week I end up averaging 22.

 

The only real thing I can complain about is the transmission...the way it seems to shift from one gear to the next...up, then down, up then down...as the V8 switches to V4. It doesn't "bother me", but I worry about damage to the transmission, the constant engagement of one gear to the next...doesn't seem like that's a good thing. At times it feel harsh, at times it doesn't. Like sometimes you can feel it kind of go into that gear, at times it's less noticeable. Sometimes you can hear a clunk, sometimes you can't. Once I'm on the highway really moving it's fine, but those back roads going 40 with someone slow in front of you? The thing gets very antsy and doesn't seem to know what to do. 

 

But great truck so far...looks good....good power....great gas mileage. Haven't had one leak or had one trip to the dealer. Installed a catch can, I've undercoated the thing twice already...going to do it a third time after the winter. Very quiet and comfortable ride. Thing drives straight down the road despite hitting several pot holes this winter.

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...

I noticed that too. I was hoping to see some with 150,000+ miles.

They must think 20,000 miles a year is high mileage. 

I used to put 50,000 - 65,000 miles a year on my trucks when I did more work out of town. Now my jobs are close to home and I only put on 1000 - 1500 miles a month for work.

20,000-30,000 a year is nothing? Lol, it’s twice as much as the average driver does.

 

Im always amazed at the guys who put 50,000-60,000 a year on their cars/trucks. Those are the stories I enjoying reading about the most. Definitely not enough of them, probably because they’re work trucks and people who use them for work/construction don’t really have an interest or connection to the vehicle outside of work/business. I guess? I don’t know.

I did 1800 miles last year... that not high enough?  :-)

I owned my last truck for a hair over 9 years and almost put 20k on her.

Not quite high mileage yet but, I drive a lot of miles in a year... 2016 with about 3 years 4 months in service and I'm at just over 65k miles... I will see how the trade in value is looking in about a year and I may swap it for a 2019 or 2020 model..

I’m just sitting at just below 130k on my 2014 purchased in October of 2014 with 127 miles on it.

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

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
