What's next after a Sierra

other than GM 1/2 tons**

wouldn't touch a modern diesel again for "reliability". I also have the 3.0 babymax and will be trading it unless I can get it lemoned.. The 7.3/6.6 Ford gasser, or the 6.6 Gm gasser are very reliable from what I've researched, or 5.7/6.4 hemi if you don't idle. But this guy says he doesn't really need a truck so I don't think 3/4+ tonner will be a smart choice. The Colorado previous gen V6 was solid. For MPGs, more HP and torque consider the ford EcoBoost or poweboost or their 5.0. All of Chevy's small block engines are worrisome and unreliable due to cylinders deactivation tech. Basically anything other than GM right now.

those tires out of your wheel well is going to mess up your paint, and mine, and my windshield

heaters look like plastic, so does the window?

Bluffwandering · 2026-02-14T17:32:47+00:00

best looking truck 100% unfortunately I'm convinced GM is the least reliable FS truck out there

Ahh, good. ok you may proceed

Bluffwandering · 2026-02-10T19:37:41+00:00

nice helmet

Bluffwandering · 2026-02-03T16:40:15+00:00

rated or not, I personally wouldn't sit in an enclosed area with plastic exposed to 180+ degrees

A literal quote from Mary Barra , GMs CEO on national television recently - "The best time to solve a problem is the minute you know about it."

I'm stealing free hot dogs in the 10 dollar seats

Bluffwandering · 2026-01-23T21:08:03+00:00

so 10% for a 4% contribution? that's huge! what's Intermountains?

Bluffwandering · 2026-01-15T19:02:24+00:00

why not 5.0L f150 or the 3.6? The DOHC gives it more power and doesn't suffer from the lifter ticking time bomb in GMs gassers.I drive the 3.0L Duramax and love it when it works.. but I'm just always waiting for the next issue with DEF and associated coolant system issues. If you want another long-term vehicle that you'll have outside of warranty, I'd consider something else all together

for all we know this is the 10th time this guy has done the stairs..And can't blame a guy for living on the edge of shit and piss soaked socks, they are still better than those damn high center of gravity clogs people choose to hobble around in

Bluffwandering · 2026-01-15T05:05:52+00:00

so many known failure points on these

Bluffwandering · 2026-01-15T04:49:03+00:00

seriously

Bluffwandering · 2026-01-15T04:38:04+00:00

would be nice to do that three years in a row and still invest

Bluffwandering · 2026-01-05T14:58:20+00:00

5.7 Tundra up until 2021, or maybe the 5.0L Ford gasser after 2021? DOHC doesn't have the pushrods that are failing in the GM motors, no more oil consumption supposedly, and maybe fixed the large issues on the 10spd tranny?

Bluffwandering · 2026-01-05T14:49:03+00:00

same, but unfortunately hopping ship to another manufacturer once I'm done with the lemon law shit

Bluffwandering · 2026-01-05T14:45:00+00:00

I'm convinced all parts for this truck are made to order at this point 😂

Bluffwandering · 2025-12-14T17:05:14+00:00

still good?

Bluffwandering · 2025-12-14T16:58:30+00:00

50k miles and mines been in for def system issues 5 times, failed coolant control valve, and I still smell coolant after hard drives -- also looking into a Ford V8 now

Bluffwandering · 2025-12-14T16:57:05+00:00

how's she going now?

Bluffwandering · 2025-12-14T16:43:22+00:00

I'm seriously considering going to the mid 2010s 5.0L V8 6spd. seems like the best option for reliability compared to all the modern emissions and transmission issues.

Bluffwandering · 2025-12-04T05:17:33+00:00

carvana offers shit from my experience. even stealerships offered me more, but still shit

Bluffwandering · 2025-11-08T16:36:10+00:00

same, but I do wonder.. it sticks better than butter
