Not sure if it's bragging or too poor to afford a new one.  Just hit 300K on 2014 GMC All Terrain CC 4WD 5.3v8.    

 

Truck is basically stock.  I purchased it in 2016 with 51K on it.  I immediately did oil change with Edge motor oil.  Have used Edge the entire time changing at DIC stated intervals.  A time or two I have had low oil message on DIC.  Either went in for top off or just got oil changed.  Wix filters were used up until 3 oil changes ago and my local oil shop was bought out by "Take 5"  Now I have no clue what filter or oil they use.  They stated it was equivelent to edge...I'm sure it's probably junk and I'm looking for a new oil shop. 

 

Part failures that I can remember:

 

Air condenser cooler went out at 115k.  I replaced it myself and I guess I broke a clip at the trans coolant line.  That clip let go about 15k later and dumped tranny fluid all over I75.  I buttoned it all up and then at 140k Tranny went out (was probably my fault)  A/C delco tranny in at 140k.  Brake pads at around 180k,  Starter around 200k,  Another transmission at 236k that was covered by A/C delco as the replacement had 100k warranty and didn't make it.  Second Air condenser at 245k.  Front pads and rotors around 250k.  about 4 sets of wiper blades, 2 batteries.  I have a grounding issue that I think is in the negative battery cable.  Starting to get intermittent no start/dead battery issues from time to time....re-adjust negative battery cable and it starts right up. 

 

With all that said.  it's been a great truck.  I've been from Mid GA to Colorado and South Florida to DC is this damn thing.  Also,  during 2021 it basically sat for a year except for vacation trips (so maybe 7000 put on truck in 2021)  I had a company vehicle.

 

So,  I'd like to sell it for 37k that I paid for it in 2016.  It's definitely reliable.  I'm wanting a 24 2500 so bad...but dang they are spendy.

A 9 year old truck with 300,000 miles and you want to sell it for $37,000? Ok that's not going to happen. Also you bought a 2 year old truck back in 2016 with 51,000 miles for the price you want to sell it now at $37,000, man they saw you coming.

Is that 37,000 Peso's?

 

Yeah first thing is to clear your mind of ever thinking a truck with 300k on it would net that much money in return, not even at the peak of truck prices back a year or so ago would that have been possible. I couldn't get that asking price for my 14 all terrain 6.2 loaded truck that still looks rather new and has 250,000 miles less than your truck.

I sense the sarcasm in his post, he knows it's not worth that much.

If it's not Sarcasm, at best that truck is worth 12k. And if someone would actually want to pay that I have one still going strong at 260,000 I'll take 40k for it🤣🤣🤣🤣

This truck was probably never worth 37k when I bought it or new.  New trucks probably don't represent anywhere near what they are priced.  

 

This truck will never be for sale by me.  It will either be wrecked or just die a slow death....I do have a 14yr old......He doesn't seem interested in it. 

 

If someone would give me 37k for it I'd kinda be in a pickle as I'd still have to fork over another 30k for a new one.....and be afraid everytime I took off on a trip that a sensor would trip some part of the system and I'd be stuck.  With this truck I kinda know what I got.

No idea what a range disabled is or a catch can.  I will say that after around 225k my truck does not go into V4 mode on th e DIC.  I actually get better gas mileage without the V4 mode.  It used to just go back and forth on the highway and I think it cost me mileage.  I didn't do anything for it to not go into V4 mode....it just did it by itself.

40.8 mph. Thought this maybe the case. I'm running 42 mph by this method but only 165K so far. 

 

Did you know that only 0.3% of all vehicles go 300K? You've got a winner. :D

Thanks for sharing! Always nice to see a truck go 200k+ but 300k+ is remarkable.

I can't remember when AFM quit doing it's thing.  but I did put a K&N air filter on at about 175k.  From that point on I pretty much had check engine light on due to air sensing stuff.  I figured it was the new air filter.  The ABS, Traction Control has been lit up for the last 75k I'd say.  I think it has to do with negative ground cable on battery.  I'm not sure but that's also when I started having small electrical/no start issues that where solved by adjusting the negative battery cable.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
