I had a 2016 Silverado z71 off road, 5.3 v8, had it for almost 6 years, nothing but issues with the transmission, cylinder deactivation bullshit, I traded it for a 2022 colorado v6, no cylinder deactivation or start stop bullshit, 7000 lb tow rating, it's not 4x4, but I only needed it once in my Silverado, trucks need to be trucks, period, no more cylinder deactivation bullshit and start stop bullshit and transmission issues

Thanks for chiming in on your 2016 Silverado. I am sorry that you had a bad experience with that truck. Your local dealership must not have taken good care of you. You can thank the federal government and the EPA for all of the cylinder deactivation mandates on automakers which would be better than trolling a family owned business. Have a nice day. ~ Kent

@concordiachevrolet66901 the dealership rebuilt the transmission twice under warranty, before that it was flushed, computer rebooted, you name it, they did it, as soon as the extended warranty expired, I traded it

@@woofman4796 So you were taken care of. We live in a fallen world and things do break. Everyone probably has a similar story. My personal horror story involved a 1987 Chevy Sprint air conditioner compressor. I did get over 200,000 miles out of it over time though.

I had a 2012 Avalanche with AFM. It bent a lifter at 75 mph. Dealership fixed it. The mechanic came into the waiting room and said my particular year model could be programmed to turn off AFM and the truck would be a dedicated V-8. I said let's do it. Never had another problem with it. Glad I don't have that stop start crap at relights. I traded in my Avalanche for a Nissan Frontier Pro 4x in 2020 and I love it. It's a naturally aspirated v-6 3.8 liter with old school analog dash and a bad ass stereo with xm and CD player. I'm keeping my truck till the wheels fall off. Paid 31200 out the door. Same truck today MSRP is 51 k.

@musicgroopie1 I bought a range technology plug in module for my Silverado to keep it in v8 mode all the time, I had the transmission rebuilt twice at the dealership, after the extended warranty expired is when I traded it, we are looking at the nissan frontier as well, I had a '95 frontier, got it new, I loved that little truck, 5 speed manual, but it was a single cab and we needed a bigger vehicle then, our kids were little
