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

Recent late fall/ early winter photo.

 

Last update was 100,4** miles. 

 

Pinion seal, Starter plastic bellhousing cover replaced. About $20 in parts. Only money spent over ROUTINE maintenance on this unit. Can we call it reliable yet? 

 

Still on the OEM brakes with many miles left in them. Tires replaced at 125,000 miles when they dated out. Had a year or better tread left in them. Everything works. Nothing is rotting or rusting away. Uses no oil. AFM active. No catch can. Have a few rock chips to repair and scuff in the front bumper needs some attention. Interior flawless. Needs a spring cleaning bumper to bumper. Maybe I toss a tune up at her when it warms a bit.

2014 Sierra 1500. 213K miles.  Had ac just before 100K, Vacuum pump replaced before recall, got $ back.  Had new transmission around 175K (ouch).  Tires and brakes as needed. replaced plugs, wires and ignition coils around 200k after one coil caused some misfires.  wondering what new engine might cost @300K.   still feels like a new truck.  Might put new belts on it next year.  Oh yeah, a new battery a couple years ago. So not zero problems.

Nothing major yet. She is starting to suffer Lingchi. Ozone attack of plastics and rubber. Rock chips that are becoming increasingly more difficult to keep up with. Weathering of the windshield. Hits of a million of bugs and their removal. Not a bubble baby. No rust or body damage. Still plenty to work with and fight for.

Neither of which may classify as "high miles," but.....

 

Bought my 2015 in December 12, 2015.  When it was totaled on July 1, 2018, it had 53,******.  Only serious maintenance was tires and new front brake pads (at 50K).

 

Bought my 2018 in September 15, 2018, 21,400ish as of today, 16 months of ownership.

About a month ago, I hit 61,000.  With gas prices going over $5/gal again, I'm not driving it as often/much.

Factory battery was replaced also around 125K.

I replaced all brake pads and rotors at 175k as I had developed a bit of brake shudder in heavy braking.

Been running slightly larger than stock tires on stock wheels since about 80K

Change oil every 7k 0-20 Edge. Fram Filter.

 

Other than that I'm averaging 18.6 mpg mixed higwhay/2 lane/city driving.

      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.
