Well the 2010 turned out to be not rust free. Frame and wheel wells were starting. And the 2015 sold before I got a chance to look. But now came across a 2017 crew 1500 4x4 with 65k private party for 30k. Nada book value is over 37k. Would you have any hesitation buying a 5 yr old truck with 65k? It's seems like a good price

I read a few days ago that the 14-15 GM trucks had more quality problems than any other time in history. People of course will dispute that. I suggest doing a deep dive in reliability reports.

Yeah, but it was all recalls.

 

Only legit problem I know of is the AC system. The AC system really pissed me off.

I bought a 2014 Sierra 1500 crew cab in 2017 with 49000 miles for $24900.00. Was in excellent condition. I don't drive it much. Has 54000 miles on it now. So far here have been my issues with it. Heated seat cushions quit heating. The bottom cushions only, both sides. Drivers side door lock actuator failed. Drivers side vent duct actuator quit working causing it to blow warm out of the drivers side vents with the air-conditioner running in summer. Passenger side blew cold properly. I have had all the above fixed. The seat heaters and door lock actuator by my local dealer in 2017 for around $500.00 with partial help from GMC since I contacted them complaining. It was just out of warranty. They paid 40% of repair. The vent actuator i repaired myself this past summer since the local dealer wanted $1100.00 to replace it. I paid around $40.00 for the actuator and took me about an hour and a half labor. "There is a shortcut on YouTube on how to cheat and replace it in little time". All that I have mentioned above are common issues with their trucks starting in 2014 through about 2016 I've read. I am just waiting for the A/C condenser to start leaking Freon or the vacuum pump to go out which are other issues. Ha. There is my experiences so far if it helps anyone.

I didn’t hesitate on buying a 48k mile ‘15 Sierra WITH a 4/48 comprehensive warranty.  Frame rust and all. No ragrets yet

The 2010 I was looking at was worse in person. A couple other options arose - a 2015 Silverado 1500 lt crew 4x4 with 40k for $33k - is the 2015 much different than the 2014? Any of the first year bugs worked out? And the other option a 2011 crew 4x4 LT z71 with 40k original owner miles with a bunch of extras installed - tow mirrors, aftermarket tires/rims, leveling kit, etc - very nice rust free truck for $25k.

 

Some small changes that helped. The fitting type on cooler hoses was changed to a more reliable design. A small piece of foil was applied to the radiator fin area at the water inlet and the thermostat bypass was changed to limit thermal cycling that was cracking radiator tanks. Stuff like that....

With this one being private party sale - is there a way to check history by vin number for free? If not, is it worth paying the fee to check and if so, what one is best? Autocheck, carfax?

I don't think a free VIN check would provide much detail. For the reasons I stated in the other thread you started,  https://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/vehicle-history-reports had more information than Carfax. Although it wouldn't hurt to do both. Spending a few bucks now could save you a several thousand dollar mistake. It obviously cant tell you if a potential serious breakdown is going to happen but you can at least know what has and hasn't happened or been done.

      Gas Prices

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      By Newduramaxh*ar · Posted

      Hello, Im in a bit of a bind maybe someone could help me out.  We towed our trailer, up a pretty steep incline (395 north of Bishop) done it before no issues. I got to our campground turn truck off, i restarted the truck about an hour later  and check engine light turns on. Found DTC P2C48,  unable to reset.  This morning i removed the plug, there's 12.12v at the plug. Reservoir near firewall is full of coolant, checked for leaks nothing. I dont hear or feel the pump turning on. My dilemma, is nearest dealer  is 4hrs away that has the pump instock. Is it safe to drive? By me checking the available voltage at the connector and not hearing/feeling pump turn on, is it a bad pump? Please help...

      The figure bandied about is "100 million barrels" so I think a decimal is off somewhere. But that doesn't change the outcome much when the expected flow through the Strait through over the same time should have been more than 2,000,000,000.   So 5%, if that number is even true, and there's sufficient data to believe it's not. Give that man another Fifa peace prize! 5% is less than the flow of a grapefruit-sized prostate blocking the release of cheap lager after a night of bingo.
