Hey folks,

 

Just wanted to throw out there that I just turned a 1/4 million on my 2014 GMC All Terrain.  It's not been without it's issues here and there, but hey......It's still trucking along.

 

 

I purchased it used with 48k on it back in 2016 and have been selling out of it since.  I'm in outside sales and It gets driven plenty.  Mainly highway but there are always gravel roads, dirt roads and a good bit of city driving to boot.  

 

I changed evaporator coil at some point, brakes and rotors at some point, starter some where in there.   Also a transmission was replaced around 125k if I remember correctly. It needs windshield replaced as it has a crack.  Also has a small spot of paint chipping on passenger rear door.  Other than that it's getting about 18mpg and doesn't use any more oil than when I got it.

 

Maintenance is basically Edge 0-20 every 7000 and grease what needs greasing.  Feed it the cheapest 87 octane and roll.

 

4x4, 5.3 Crew Cab, Standard Bed, Heavily Optioned All Terrain model.

 

I'd die to have a new one but I just can't crank out the money they are asking for one these days.  My needs have actually changed and I'd love to get into a 2500 gas.  Maybe one of these days the dealers will have plenty and rebates will be large (sarcasm)

Keep doing what you're doing because it's working. Let us know when you hit 300K.[emoji122][emoji106]

Awesome to hear! 

 

I just passed 48000 (kms) on my 2018 since new, not a single issue. I've got a remote trans filter and remote coolant filter. Hoping to add an oil bypass filter soon, going for million miler status ?

I hit 80k kms (50k mi) on my '15 Sierra yesterday and felt I'd entered the "old truck stage".  At this rate, I'll be at a 1/4 million miles in  twenty years!  Thanks for posting!  You made me realize my truck is still an infant!

Holy crap, wow!! That's really awesome to hear, thanks for sharing! I don't know if there's been more over the course of your ownership than what you specified, but not too bad on the issues you've had to handle. Keep us posted!

Definitely a goal I hope I'm able to hit one day. ?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
