I have 2020 Sierra 1500 has anyone checked to see if miles are accurate. I seem to be flying through miles on my truck. I had 2016 HD prior to this and it seemed to take forever to put 1000 miles on. I do same driving with both trucks. Just think if gm tampers with miles a little bit, your warranty would only be 30000 in stead of 36000. You would put higher miles on your truck and it would be worth less.

Umm, if anyone is genuinely concerned about this issue, they ought to verify the milage (which is really, really easy to do) and if it is off take it in and make them fix it.   Speculating about and p

Come on people do you really think GM or any other company would intently do this when it could be very easily caught and then face huge fines.

I thought the exact thing about my 2020.  Thought maybe I was crazy. I rarely drive mine but every time I look at the odometer I can't believe that I've racked up that many miles. I'd be willing to bet it's off. I thought maybe GM did it on purpose to hose us come trade in time,lol!  I traded a 2016 3/4 ton in on this AT4 and the miles are racking up twice as fast though I drive it half as much.

Should be able to figure it out fairly easily with Waze.

I was waiting for that guy to show up nothing to see here go back to sleep keep getting screwed. Did Volkswagen care with diesel engines or how about airbags or ignition key and list goes on.

I just don't understand some people on here and I can't believe  they even buy a GM product when all they do is get on here and complain about everything and anything and knock all dealers and service techs as being incompetent. Sure some have legitimate concerns, most don't. I've owned GM all my life and sure I have had some problems although very few. Go get another brand if you think GM is screwing you, you'll find that they have their problems also.

I know for a fact mine is 100% spot on dead accurate. I track mileage and assign it to a Job site. I do this for profit and loss statements so i know where i stand on every Project down to the penny. I am quite sure GM or any other automaker  (well maybe not VW) Know better then to try and pull something like this.  

I just wish my 3500 HD I swear gm is stealing my gas as i drive down the road. it might get  11 mpg .

I love my GMC and wouldn't get anything else. All brands have there problems. I was just wondering if any one else noticed there miles going up fast and there where other people who thought that. I will check my truck out like the other posts stated. Thanks all for input ?.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By chris21 · Posted

      37's would probably fit with a 3" lift. GM only has two gear ratios for these trucks 3.73 for gas and 3.42 for diesel. And they can't be programmed for anything else at the moment. The rough country module just corrects the speedometer and odometer to adjust for tire size it's not a programming device.   You haven't said if your truck is gas or diesel, but for a gas truck the 10L1000 with 3.73 gears has a lower final drive ratio than the 6L90 it replaced would if it were swapped to 4.10s. GM used the same 3.73 gearing in 6 speed gas trucks. I don't think you'll have any issue running 37's with the 10 speed other than the reduction in mpg and towing/weight capacity which is as much of a function of the lift as the tire size.

      Actually, it probably was the brakes.  It's weird the way the messages came across, but I took it to the dealer thinking that something was wrong with the sensor and in fact, the rear brakes were shot.  What I don't understand is why the messages never said, your brake pads are low.  First I got the message I posted above, taking about new pads being detected.  Then I got a message saying that the system needed repaired.  It never said, change your brake pads.

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      By ryan35205 · Posted

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      OCI, not when but why?

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.
