2014 Silverado 1500 4x4 ext. cab, bought new. 93K Still on first set of replacement brake pads. Couple minor repairs while under warranty. Only major out of warranty repair, $350 for new A/C condenser last summer. Everything still works, including heated front seats and remote start. OEM battery went teats up at 3.5 years. Dealer's replacement was a tad cheaper than Advance Auto Parts.

Best part, still does 20 or better, highway mileage.

Total for repairs since a new Chevy in 2002, 2006 GMC, 2010 Silverado and the 2014, all 4x4 ext. cabs: Probably less than $600. And the 5.3Ls are rockets.


If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
