Thank You Big Whiskey,

Really like the 1500 mpg, but somehow feel it is inevitable I will buy a 2500.  Then, having to decide on gas or diesel.

I have a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 crew cab 4x4 with the 6.0L gasser. My truck is a basic work truck with torsion bars cranked, 20x10 Fuel wheels with 285/60/20 Falken Wildpeak AT3's and a Magnaflow cat-back. My truck weighs in right at 7,070lbs empty with me in it (I weigh 230lbs) and 1/2 tank of fuel. With my mixed highway and city driving, I get a solid 12.3mpg all day long. Pulling my 6,200lb travel trailer, I average about 8-10mpg. So I am on par with everyone else. 

 

That said... this thing rides like a truck. Its rough. Not smooth at all. But it has power, sounds great and is built like a tank. It also handles well honestly.

Average for me around town and highway is 11. Towing 10k to 12k pounds around 6. I always seem to pick trucks that hgey less than buddy's that have the same thing. I don't have a heavy foot either.

My 07 2500HD gasser with 4.11 rear gears got no better than 14 Hy and 10 City with towing my 6k TT 9-10. My new 17 2500 duramax gets as much as 24HY and 13 City and 11 to 12 towing my new 8k TT.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.

      That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less?
