Hey everyone!

 

I found this forum after doing plenty of engine research on my "new to me" truck. Long story short, We half inherited/half bought my father in laws 2018 Silverado LTZ Centennial Edition. Truck is near mint, only has 7,400 on the odometer. My father in law kept in garaged and didn't drive it much, but it was one of his most treasured gifts. My wife wanted it kept in the family and couldn't stand to watch it go down the road, so I sold my Cummins swapped 04 Super duty and ended up in this. We just straight up didn't have the room or time to keep both. I've not had a gasser for my daily in 20 years. I will say, this 6.2L is a blast to drive, and has a lot more creature comforts than my Fummins did.

 

I've already got a catch can sitting on the work bench that will probably get installed next week, once I figure out where I want to run the drain line to. The truck went to the dealer last year and had all the lifters replaced after having a lifter fail. I was shocked that he had a lifter fail after only 7K miles, then I started to understand why after doing my research on the engine technology. Thankfully it was covered under the aftermarket warranty, and I'm thinking I'll be getting one myself. I will say it runs great at the moment. 

 

Cheers!

Great looking truck! 

 

Get it in and have the transmission fluid swap done to the new Mobil One. I am sure yours has developed a lot of moisture in it with that low of miles.

Here is 100, have owned since 08/2018, about 20 miles on the clock when I picked it up.

Best GM product I have ever owned, just went over 73,600 miles this week.

I need to get it to the shop for a trans flush, it already has the torque converter shudder. Hoping not much damage has been done. 

 

Silly question, where do you find the production number? I've yet to find anything in my truck that shows it was numbered, however with a toddler its hard to find time to really go through the truck.

Jim, 

 

Did you ever find any more info on the total number of centennial editions produced? I totally saw our doppelganger this morning when dropping the kid off at daycare, we met at the intersection. There is another centennial edition Silverado within a few miles of my house. I'm gonna have to track him down for some photos.

Just joined the Centennial group on Facebook, seeing the number 6226 built, which is close to what I heard in the past.

      Gas Prices

      By Atlas · Posted

      I understand that. The price is what it is, though. The price is what oil costs today, where our choices have led us, where supply is, and where demand is, in the market that is. Speculation is for futures, what we think the price will be, but with incomplete information at the time the price is forecast. I know you know this, but you appear to be intent on making a secondary point here about what you think the market could or should be, if only other choices.   In 1975 it became illegal to export US Crude. I'm conflicted on what the best answer is. Free markets allow export in pursuit of profit. But there is also a lot to gain by producing and consuming our own oil here. How do you reconcile it?

      That sir is a choice. And even if it were not for all the reasons stated, this disruption has zero to do with the reality of the actual logistics and everything to do with the greed of SPECULATION. Spot price is irrelevant to reality.

      What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.
