I've narrowed it down Jounge. What can I expect

I will be looking for a 2015-2017 GMC Sierra Crew cab, with the 6.0. No more than 120,000 miles.
Car gurus. Which model year has the least issues?

Aim for 150k miles and hope somebody else fixed everything.***

Well, if you are specifically looking for the 6.0, you are

looking for the 2500HD, and you are probably in the mid 30's-mid 40's, depending on options.
If you meant the 6.2l, they are difficult to find. I'd guess 28-35K, depending on options and mileage.

injectors. Especially at those years with that mileage. Injector replacement is ~ $500 a piece, not sure if you have to replace the whole cam or now on the GM's when the AFM FUBARs your motor.

begins? If it's normally 30-50K and I get 100k I should be in the clear I would think.
Or I could just get a tuner and turn it off. Seems like read somewhere about that.

If it's out of warranty you could tune it, I always worry
May 20, 2019, 12:39 PM

about that though. Probably because everyone I know who tuned their trucks/cars ended up fugging them up, but they weren't tuning to get the best mpg, if you know what I'm sayin'.
Much more than 130k miles and I'd start expecting something to fail.

my Tahoe went sideways about 100K. Dealer said $3500 and they'd have to send it off, would take about 3 wks. Luckily, my main mechanic drives GM trucks and has an electronics guy (read hacker) he uses to fix computer issues. Less than $500 for that one, still a pain in the a$$ tho

My dad's got a 2017 Yukon looking like it's about to go back into the shop for the second time. Less than 70k miles.

those years all suck equally, so you're good no matter what year you choose.
