Hauling my butt around and running my sales route. Haul a few trailers, bring home some stuff for home improvement projects a few times a year, go on a vacation or two. Even with as much driving as I do, 25-30k a year, I can’t save enough fuel driving a higher fuel Econ car to cover the cost of buying one as a second car plus then I’d have to drive it lol. I’d rather just b in my truck.

Let's see.  I  use mine to goto the gym (2 mile drive), I use it to goto the grocery store (2 mile drive)...  However, I work for an airline and travel about 15-18 days a month, so I uber to work and back.  Kind of makes me think to myself, maybe I didn't really need a brand new truck.  Just hit 1835 miles in 10 months!  Hope this thing lasts 25 years.

Mine is my daily driver, back and forth to work maybe 26 miles total. We use it to go fishing and everything else too. I've hauled 2 pallets of bottled water for my son's high school marching band and also been in a few parades as the safety vehicle for the band also. This October will be 3 years and I just hit 35k miles.

Everything!!  It’s my daily driver to drop the kids off, weekend me and the kids tow the boat throw the wife’s kayak in the bed.  About every other to every third weekend in the summer it hauls our TT anywhere we desire shortest camping trip is 25 min. Longest so far Cherokee SC from MI.   Many sheets of drywall, plywood and various home improvement supplies. I definitely don’t have a truck to just to sit high in traffic.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.

      I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
