Do I have to go? I got a new (to me) Silverado.

My neighbor just brought home a brand new Sierra, told me that he got a really good deal on it, and wanted a vehicle "like my Yukon". I haven't asked him to move.

IMO, there is no such thing as "a really good deal" on a new vehicle. Even if I had unlimited $, not buying new.

My 2018 Sierra has unlimited powertrain warranty. I thought that would be great to have. Boy was I wrong, it just means I can't change things like my own fluids ever. And I have to drive an hour to get any of the work done.

There is https://www.silveradosierra.com/forums/ but it doesn't light a match to this forum. I come here for all of my questions and discussions, not there. I have even bought parts for my Silverado from this forum lol

That being said, you may have some luck with your 14, I got a little help with my 16 there. The key distinction I've noticed is this forum is full of active enthusiasts, not merely "owners".

ya you gotta the fine print on those things usually it is only at the selling dealer, but may apply else where if it left you standed out of town, just depends on the fine print.

I'm on that forum too, I find if you can weed through the BS and the A-holes sometimes you can find the information you seek. There's also this site for trucks,

2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra

General topics regarding the K2XX platform; The 2014 through 2019 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra.

Yes I have been through the fine print and it's some grey area bs. Lol, the newest truck with the least amount of miles and it has the most oil leaks.

I joined the SilveradoSierra forum a few months ago. I like it there.

But I like it here too and the way the body styles are a separate sub-forum here I think is cleaner (if folks would actually pay attention to which sub-forum they are posting to, LoL)

I own trucks and SUVs (and vans! LoL) so I can legit hang out on both forums...you should do the same...

Having a 2014 myself I will say the things I've changed since I bought it, that have been a improvement
1.Removing the transmission thermal bypass valve.
2. A tune up it was desperately needing
3. Checked and changed the gas pedal to the updated version (this eliminated some surging and pedal lag)
4. A bored out throttle body (if you think about doing this I would recommend doing the l86 intake and bored out throttle body)
5. Running a cooler temp thermostat (temp choice is up to you, you can go down to 170° without needing a tune.)
6. An Airaid MIT (Optional) for me I like the cleaner look.
Also I removed the restriction between the fender and the air filter box.
