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.

I have a 2014 CC Standard Bed 4x4  5.3 v8 Currently 184K

 

I lost AC condenser/transmission cooler around 100k.

Had an alignment done after a level was installed around 110k

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.  

 

 

 

 

Wait...184K without Amsoil? Impossible!!

Well we finally made it. Got home late last night with 502000 on our 2018 5.3 e assist. Had the 3rd brake job at around d 470000. New front wheel bearings and compleat exhaust system. The clunk between 1st and 2nd is more pronounced now. Got another cross  country trip after memorial day. Still averaging  22.7 mpg. Going to think hard on a new truck. They want to try for 750000 told them iam getting to old for this at 77years old.

    • IMNTBHO;  the worst thing for the 6L80 is to be lugged down to low engine rpm while in high gear......AKA, to save fuel.   I rarely use D on my '16 with the 6L80 and use M mode to keep engine RPM above 1500 at the speed I'm driving, which is also benefiticial for the tranny because line pressure is kept up because the pump is actually turning a decent speed, and it's not always hunting to drop to the next gear to lower the engine RPM's.   Never above 30mph.............M3, maybe M4 if just driving thru a small NoDak town Never above 40mph............M4 Never above 50-55mph.............M5   This is way better for the tranny and the engine.........especially if AFM is still active.   262K miles on my OEM 6L80 as I type this.
    • If they had nuclear material for "11 nukes" we'd have seized it.    Our military has been rendered either too weak/dumb to seize it, or they don't have it. Your pick,K-nut. Because right now we're fighting over who gets to toll oil tankers in the strait.    I hope you're man enough to admit you've been taken for a ride when it's finished.
    • I hope you’re man enough to admit that you were wrong when it’s finished. 
    • And you're obviously full of it too.  Apparently anything he does is perfect to you.  Don't you think this whole ordeal would have been better if he had maybe thought it all through first before bombing Iran at the request of his bffs in Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar?  They are the ones that had the biggest issue with Iran.  Thus they have been pouring the platitudes and giving gifts/bribes to him.  Had he thought about the consequences of what would happen to the Strait before starting anything, we wouldn't have this issue.  Now he is stuck with no way out of this mess.  But you have your head stuck way deep in his rabbit hole to see anything else.  So no, I don't have TDS.  I see what he is.  The derangement is yours from no oxygen in the rabbit hole.  
    • Bringing of the fact that every President has said the same thing. They can’t have nukes. I guess you missed that before epic fury they said they had enough product for 11 nukes and weren’t giving it up. That not political or polarizing. The opposition of that is and giving aid to the enemy. The mandate is decades old through many administrations. The difference is TDS.
