02 Silverado K2500HD 6.0 150,000 bought new with 200 miles

Re-torque Right side head bolts due to minor leak 50,000

1 right rear axle seal 80,000

Replaced rear brake pads 80,000

Replaced right exhaust manifold gasket 90,000

Replaced water pump 140,000

Replaced fuel pump 90,000

 

I have never changed the front pads or turned the front rotors on this truck! The only front brake maintainence I have on this truck is that I put it into 4 wheel dive while on a hoist and held a 3" 90' grinder with a fiber disc to the front rotors to add some cross hatching to them and remove the glazing. I used to tow every weekend for a few years but recently have not. Has anyone else had this luck with their front brakes?

I put 175,000 on an '01 6.0 2500HD 4x4... Replaced the knock sensors at prolly 160K. In the 8 years I owned the truck I prolly only had a grand in repair on it! Had a left rear axel seal that gave me fits... other than that, wish I hadn't sold it!

I have a 2003 2500hd with the 6.0 liter. Since new the truck has ran great it just rolled over 40,000 miles. Only issues it has is the starter went out last summer. I wish it had more towing power.

189,000 miles on our 2002 shop truck. 2500HD 4x2 with too many different drivers. :( Engine runs fine and has a lot of power. Uses oil only when towing heavy. Transmission seems like it's slipping now, but it might be because I'm used to driving my '07 with a 6-speed.

2001 K2500HD, mainly stock except Wester's Garage PCM at 65k

 

142k miles, purchased new

Cold start knock/piston slap from day one, still runs the same

 

75k Idler pulley

90k Right rear axle seal

100k Corroded knock sensors, RTV water dam to protect new ones per TSB, new intake gaskets while doing it

110k Fuel pump (just needed new sender, but as long as I'm in there...)

135k Left front hub/bearing assembly

135k Plastic heater core hose connectors, highly recommend replacing these before yours blow

Rear exhaust manifold bolt heads snapped off long ago (common), just now getting slight exhaust fftt fftt when cold on one side, not looking forward to getting bolts out

I'm also on the ORIGINAL rotors/pads, still have at least 30% pads left front and rear, bizarre

2010 3500 crew cab 6.0 auto 2wd drw flatbed with 115,000 miles. We bought it new 11 months ago and have had few problems. A/c condenser leak (warranty), a little overheating, and rough idle. I think the wheel bearings are going bad, currently. Also at 20,000 it stalled, restarted right back up and never happened again.

 

Had a 2007 classic 3500 ext. cab 6.0 auto 2wd drw flatbed and traded it for the 2010. When we traded it in it had 316,xxx miles and was in pretty good shape. We bought it new in 2007 and had it 3 years. Some problems including at 50,000 the torque converter going out, climate control actuator (twice), vent motor resistor (several), persistent valvetrain tap, headlight gremlins (had to change headlight bulbs about every 2 months), diff pinion seal leaking. All in all it was a pretty good truck, in all that time we never did a brake job(did kinda need it though) and never overheated-not once.

What do you guys do to put 100k miles on a truck like that per year?

We haul turbochargers to various places. Been as far west as San Diego and east as Orlando. If fact were on the road right now near New Orleans.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
