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

152,240 Miles

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.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Getting greedy...   The AC pump has been replaced at least once per service records, and it's been recharged twice since 2018 or so, in approximately 2 year intervals between those charges.   It was done at the same shop...clearly they were enjoying the revenue of recharging the system periodically versus actually tracking down and fixing the leak. I learned that the owner was 88 years old when she passed in 2023, so maybe they assumed only a temporary fix was needed anyway.   The system is basically empty now, the compressor spins freely, so I'm guessing it "just needs a recharge".   I vacuumed it down, and it has basically held overnight. Doesn't appear to leak under vacuum, check! So it must leak under pressure. I don't have a way to pressurize the system and pressurizing it with shop air wouldn't be great for the air dryer (which is probably toast anyway?)   The dryer (accumulator? I'm not an AC expert) has a Schrader valve, but the high side has an old ball-type valve, which are notorious for leaking. It's clearly had schmutz blown out of it at one point because the line/area next to the valve is coated old black crud, which I assume is AC refrigerant residue/oil, or maybe even dirty dye. I think I'll roll the dice and replace the valves. I have a black light around here somewhere so I'll find it and shine it around the engine bay in the dark to see if there's any dye.   I can't think of another way to track down the leak other than injecting some dye (if it doesn't have any) and having it charged up. We can't buy R134a off the shelf here anymore, so I'll run it up to Jiffy Lube and have them do it. I think I have a coupon. At the very least, the charge should last long enough for a year or two, according to history. I think this truck will be long gone by then. But cold AC is a selling point.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By clowe1243 · Posted

      Got the truck back today.  Called them yesterday to get an update, and miraculously my truck is finished?!?! The $13k out the door was complete bullshit!  Ended up being over $14k.  They added some bullshit service bulletin that I cant even find, where they replaced my radiator without telling me or asking me, and charging me for it.  Need to do more research into it, cause they leaked the first delivered radiator was ran over by FedEX.  Sounds like bullshit to me. 2.5 Months for an engine swap, which ended up being remanufactured, not new; ****ing ridiculous.  Brakes are squishy as hell, not sure if its from sitting.  Will give a couple days to see it that figures it self out.  GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH 1 GALLON OF GAS!  Just filled the tank the day before drop off, more bullshit.  My dash cam SD card was formatted, not really much I can do about that. 3 year, 100k GM warranty at least.  Time to sell it and say **** off to GM.  Bad experience.  Cant wait for the survey email to come through.  Overpriced Raptor R, here I come!

      Radio Update

      If I forget the phone in the truck, and forget the truck in the phone, and reconnect.  It works great for the day.  Truck sits overnight, and the next day is a no go.  It will connect Android Auto via usb cable, but not bluetooth.   Ive tried Everything in this thread so far, and nothing works for more than a day.   I think I might have to go to the dealer and have them flash the pcm.   thanks for all the suggestions guys. 👍

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      2022 2500HD Crew Z71 Duramax single alternator.  Recently had the primary (water pump / fan) belt tensioner pulley bearing to fail while hundreds of miles from home of course the plastic pulley melted and belt shredded which took out some wiring. Found a replacement tensioner assembly and belt to continue now would like to find a replacement for just the pulley and bearing to have a spare assembly in case of a repeat, the rest of the tensioner is fine. Has anybody here found a correct replacement part for just the pulley and bearing? Any help is appreciated.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Atlas · Posted

      +1 for the 3.0   Perfect for 1500 pickup towing duties.   Perfect engine for a 1500 pickup period. Huge torque at stunningly low RPM makes it feel a lot lighter than it is. The fuel mileage is insane for a tall and heavy 1500... 30+ on the highway. Mid 20's around town.   It's probably not perfect if you bought a 6.2 for the braaaaaaapppppp V8 noises and wrapping it out to 6k. The LZ0 acts and sounds like a small turbo diesel and there's nothing you can do to make a small turbo diesel sound like a big one, and you can't make an inline diesel sound like a V8 diesel/big Duramax. It's a different driving experience altogether.   Drive one, I think you'll like it, though...
