[@cobyporschifer221]

[@akca00]

[@dougdays8095]

[@loswitdahoodie617]

Amen

Have a 2017 High Country 6.2L, which I bought new. I used Range technology AFM delete and it never killed the battery, that issue was fixed year's ago. Truck sits for weeks never had an issue with battery. Also I added a Trifecta tune, best bang for your buck. The low end grunt in sport mode you'll feel. Had AFM deleted. The 8 speed had no issues, knock on wood. Great video and nice truck.

[@George-on3zm]

8 speeds are NOT good! there is class action lawsuite on them now

[@anthonymacneil2279]

@@George-on3zm As for them being no good, there's as many, that say they are, and never had issues but there's just as many that are having major problems.

[@Nanaehhco45]

The 6L80 trans were good. I'm on my 3rd 8 speed on my 2018. I regret getting it.

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thank you brother

[@IvanRamirez-fs3sf]

Thank you for you video I’m not able to buy a new truck so I found a used 2018 5.3 Silverado what is your opinion. Thank you

[@cobyporschifer221]

Like the comment I had a Dodge😆 BUT It had so many problems I had to trade it. Sad but True

[@ricklowers8873]

GM max tow package...I have a 2019 Coachmen 281RLDSLE travel trailer...max wt 7600#s...max combined wt. of 15,000#s. The HD trans cooler on my 2013 1500 Ext cab Silverado 5.3L (9600#s tow capacity) was inadequate. Trans. temp would run up to 215F running around IL, WI, etc. during summer camping season. Recommend you IMMEDIATELY upgrade transmission cooler if you’re gonna tow ANY kind of weight.

[@justinh8055]

Agreed!

[@Mikey-wf9py]

The work trucks can come without afm in 2021 it's optional now boys Also the work truck models have less issues because they have less electronic stuff that breaks but everybody wants to loaded ones that cost 10,000 more but you get the same engine and transmission so it makes no sense

[@marcorodriguez-zq4mn]

I know its an old video and ypu probably dont own the truck any more but how was the handling on does 275 65 20 did you have any rubbing on inner wells

[@jewllake]

I have the range on my 2018 6.2 sierra zero problems to report. With Covid I've been working from home. Sometimes my truck sits for over a week and when I check the battery it has lost very little charge and the truck starts right up!

[@00taohio85]

Put the range on 2015 no problems.

[@randy9886]

Me also. I don’t want to spend $2000+ on a engine tear down.

[@IvanRamirez-fs3sf]

Thank you for you video I’m not able to buy a new truck so I may buy a used 2018 5.3 Silverado what is your opinion. Thank you

[@williamcorleu5839]

No I would love to buy me about a 2014 or 2015 Silverado if I could get it

[@Bangkok-ik1fp]

Explain the difference between AC seats and ventilated seats. Since they both come from the same HVAC system how could there be a difference

[@randy9886]

I have a 2015 with “AC” seats. It’s just ventilated with cabin air through perforated holes in the back and seat. Doesn’t run through the AC system. Still feels good on a hot day.

[@johncoyote6755]

I want a 2015 Silverado 1500 but man all that stuff ridiculous. I’ve always bought Toyota because you don’t have to do all that. They just make good vehicles that don’t have all these quarks. Why can’t GM not make a truck with problems?

[@justinh8055]

You are 100% right, but you kinda have to look at it like this. Its like you go to work and you spend some money every now and then to get what you want. Buying a Toyota truck, there is nothing wrong with that. But buying it soley because its reliable, is like saving all your money to spend when you are 75 and you are 25 or 30 now. Gotta live get what you like, most people trade cars every 3-5 years. Thanks for the post!

[@luisfelix1315]

Sierra/silverado are more expensive to buy and use, toyotas are bullet proof, but sierra/silverado are much better in almost everything, it will cost more but you will get a better truck, it’s up to you, what do you want?

[@Mikey-wf9py]

Get a 2500hd no afm

[@Mikey-wf9py]

Or tundra

[@George-on3zm]

ha ha i want to know how your 6 speed trans is doing now?? mine makes clunking noise and can feel it at times shifting hard! i have a 15 with the 6 speed

[@lancemckay5778]

I have a 2016 with 80,000 miles on it with the 6 speed transmission! I just replaced the transmission for $4,400! I put a Jasper transmission in it!

[@Mikey-wf9py]

The government bought them out in 2008 Everything went downhill since then That's where AFM started to be coming into the picture but like I said you can get them without it now or you can just get a 2500 doesn't have it Also it's a 400 small box so you can't go around

[@eagleeye5890]

My 18 has ac seats...

[@ssjohnny6311]

I was wondering if the last year on this gen of gmc(2018)is the best year to get

[@philipmorgan6984]

Me too

[@AdamOutlaw87]

How do you make the headlights do what there doing at the beginning of the video?

[@bigfoot8711]

That's just how the camera picks up the LEDs in the lights. They aren't actually flickering

[@turnerc23]

What kind of tuner would you put in this thing? Might be picking up a 2015 ltz 6.2 tomorrow, and want to get the most out of that Corvette motor!

[@justinh8055]

I had a predator 2 tuner on this one. It made it run funny and ping so I sold it. I would look at a customer tune from black bear or something of that sort.

[@turnerc23]

@@justinh8055 thanks for the info. Been gobbling up your channel lately. You're a great help. I really appreciate your channel. Wish I could buy from you!

[@justinh8055]

@@turnerc23 Thanks! I used a predator 2. I would get a custom tune. It made it spark knock. So get a custom one if you can.

[@anthonymacneil2279]

@@turnerc23 I'm using Trifecta and had AFM completely disabled. Lots of low end grunt in sport mode. Also it firmed the shifts, in my 2017 High Country 6.2L. Not liking the canned tunes.

[@williamcorleu5839]

When you buy used trucks if you don't know who had it you don't have been treated

[@conspiracyfifteensixteenth5756]

Poor Design with AFM system but over all better truck than Ford and Ram.. I own Vortec Max. Replaced cam shaft and replaced all lifters etc.. permanently disabled AFM. Has great power sucks on the mileage but hope fully the engine can last a bit longer.

[@williamcorleu5839]

You are so right Ford and Dodge I'm Ford Ford had motor and transmission trouble and on top of that they ain't worth a damn

[@shannonzittlow8462]

LOL if it needs wiper blades just trade it in

[@JPandher]

horrible truck, 2 lifter repairs, never had a ac problem but also on the 3rd transmission rebuild in 223k miles 2015 gmc sierra 5.3 most unreliable truck. buy a 13ford 261k or 17toyota 378k all stock no problems

[@gaetansimard9620]

GM chrome is so chip

The only thing good this style Chevy does is look good That's it It sucks that everything else

Tip number 1- Don't do it.
