2014 Silverado long term review 

Better review than "professionals" did. Few things FYI for you and watchers. All vehicles factory equipped with fog lights, if High Beam is on it automatically turns off the fog lights. Not sure if it's a NATIONAL law/ordinance, but where I live (WY) it's ILLEGAL to drive on public roads with high beam and fog lights at the same time. So that's why the fog lights turn off. The "Auto" on the 4×4 selector locks in your hubs, just like if you put it in 4×4, however it does not engage the transfer case, until the computer on the truck determines your rear wheels are slipping to much then it engages the transfer case and now your in 4×4. Likewise, when it engages the transfer case, it constantly monitors Traction slippage and will eventually disengage the.tramsfer case. In the old days with manual locking hubs, if you thought you might need 4×4, you would lock in your hubs and then when you needed 4×4 you would use the shifter inside and manually engage/disengage the transfer case. It is not recommended to drive 24/7/365 in the manor described above, either "Auto" or "old shool" (manual) as turning radious is reduced (this is why the truck seems to "hop" when on completely dry/non-slipping terrain) and it is hard on the overall 4×4 system.

Decent little review going over some stuff no one else does thats good to know, just pulling the trigger on a 2018 ltz and happy to have the info.

I just purchased a 2014 LTZ with 58,000 miles on it. So far I love it... Purchased it to tow behind my motorhome.

I bought a 2017 Silverado LT, so far no issues. The truck like yours has remote start and also has remote window that you can let down when it is hot outside, a great feature when you are getting ready to go somewhere. I will remote start so the A/C comes on ant let the windows down to blow out the hot air, the LTZ and higher has remote windows that go up down and a remote tailgate release! I agree with you on the side mirror's so I am changing mine to "tow" that will have turn signal indicators, heated and remote fold in capability along with a puddle light. I am going to level it so I will lower the back, don't need a truck that sits tall, I don't do any rough terrain driving, I have also added running boards to help getting the drivers seat worn while getting in and out. Thanks for your review on your 2014, I'm sure your next truck will be a great truck.

A former coworker had one that he'd actually had Jack Rousch install a supercharger. It was so smooth and I tried buying it everyday.

I have a 14 I think I'll keep it and have fun with it and just mod the hell out of it so far the best truck I ever owned

I just bought this truck same color i love it

2015 Silverado 1500 4X4 5.3 6L80 LT trim double cab (longer bed) here Bought in '17 with 21K as lease return, truck super clean with very inconsequential flaws. Things I did: Immediate tune by 'Diablew' to lose the annoying and lifter killing AFM, better shift points and performance. Bilstein 5100s to level Hellwig sway bars front and back Airaid intake tube to lose that boxy intake McNally catch can Welded plug into transmission pan so I can drain & fill every 2nd or 3rd oil change (gets half the fluid) Superior Solutions TBV (transmission thermostat bypass) STL010 to keep trans temps on the 6L80 lower ~190F to ~145F Rhino Liner bed Undercover Elite LX tonneau cover painted to truck code Added second battery with smart isolator, subwoofer wired to second battery as well as having provisions for jumper cables and 2K inverter via quick disconnect harness. Forward camera (for looking at those stupid posts, added screen in that extra space under dash that you open up. I 'over maintain it' as far as fluids are concerned, but I use my truck and have driven it in some tough environments. It has 96K+ now, and I love it. I know it's weaknesses and am not afraid to fix it.

Just bought a 2015 lt silverado in black. Love the truck.

Thanks for the review brother, looking at trading my jeep in for one of these definitely helped selling me on it, hopefully the dealer still has it this week

I didn't even realized the pickup was blue until you pointed it out lol!

I believe Auto means that it will be in 2 wheel drive until it senses slip and then 4 wheel drive will kick in, nice feature I liked in my 02' Silverado. Thanks for the vid.

Test driving a white one after work today

2 weeks into owning my 14 the trans grenaded at 115k, covered by warranty. now needs a thermostat, still at 115k. hoping for trouble free miles now though! hahaha.

I have a 2015 v6 double cab with the longer bed its been great i did replace the struts a couple weeks ago but i did overload it once and im at 130k miles besides that oil changes i got her used with 18k mikes.

I'm having an oil pressure problem, heard there is a class action lawsuit in the works for that

lmao! I love the upgrade at the end.

16 def better looking but I'd take either one.... They look so good but they don't build them like they used too... And it's not just Chevy most of the American manufacturers the quality is gone downhill on most of the Japanese ones too..... Toyota is pretty quality but they're slipping too

I have a 2014 and My ac went out at about 90k. Now I just got a Code of P06DA. Oil Pressure Cylinoid. its going to cost $2500 to replace my oil pump, oil pressure cylinoid ,and harness for it. Its internal so you have to drop pan, and all the front crank cover. That sucks. it has 123k miles currently.

That dome light button is for your light in the bed of your truck.

My 14 double cab v6 has been nearly trouble free. Has 60,000 well looked after miles. Had a failed door lock actuator....that's it !

I gotta stop ya, no rear heat. have a high country version, might make a differ

And have you ever gotten a k8n or any of the borla exhaust set up

Think about getting a 1500 2014 the mileage is at 114K what would ideally be in the ballpark? It’s a LT trim

I got a 2014 also with 239,000 miles and at 190,000 miles the transmission went out

Unless hauling a trailer for picking up plywood 2x4’s etc they done this so have to use a trailer I know dumb idea better to have an 8 ft better hard to find one now a days of buying a newer vehicle

I bought one brand new and the next day needed a radiator!

I have is a 2015 gmc sierra 5.3 v8 with i just hit 222222 miles today and transmissions going out with a bad shudder

Where did you get the mirrors

I pile you recommend others buying this truck?

God dam pole just came out of nowhere LOL 😂

It was a good review, but I felt like it was a lot of nit-picking small issues that can popup with any vehicle

I recently bought a 2014 for 28k and it went up to 33k for credit and because I only did a down payment it’s a black ltz with 124k miles you think I payed to much

My 2014 has a low speed vibration at 60,000 miles.....i dread this.

Afm/dod in a pickup is blasphemy! Transmissions are weak! It's a beautiful truck, but i'd rather buy a 2500 or 3500 hd, or an older chevy/gm truck without afm/dod.

My AC went out at 81.233 miles...unacceptable

I know if i wanted to show a video of my truck i would clean my truck.

My dailie is alot cleaner than this. i live in Canada with salt, sand and snow. next recording with out the birds!

2016 is the most reliable, best year out of the Gen 3 'Rado's. 2014's were LEMONS 🍋🍋🍋 Have fun wit that, I'll keep loving my MINT '16 lmao 😂

What about your active fuel management....trouble with lifters that crapped out??
