Nice truck, congrats! I've owned my '14 for about 3 months and have really enjoyed it.

Thanks for the comments guys,I forgot to mention the truck has 3.42 gears,same as my previous truck which for its life averaged about 15-15.5 mpg.Only problem;this thing is so quiet I find myself doing 70 mph without even realizing it.Have to keep an close eye on the spedo.This is about number 12 new truck from GM and they all have been great.

Nice truck, it sounds like GM did a good job with the new ones and people are really liking them.

I would not say the famed spark plug failures, turbo failures, CAC sludge problems, 6.0 failures, etc. are innovation successes.

I most likely will be in the market in the not too distant future...
Both my 85 and 91 Chevrolets have provided outstanding service.
The 85 just barely squeaked by the emission test this year...
Looked last year and had a friend whose Father in Law passed with a new 13 model year... it was just hard to get excited about it.
One thing I know I will enjoy is getting better than the solid 10 mpg I get with the 85... in all fairness, we have some very steep hills around here and empty, I'm still at the GVW max with the service body...
