Knowing that vane pumps don't like to be run dry, probably not well. The 16 Silverado doesn't do it either. I don't like it. And the dealer writer told me these are bullet proof. My next question is will I get 260k out of it like the 6.0l in the Escalade. Are they that bullet proof? He didn't respond and I'd tend to agree.
They do a lot of fleet service with enterprise. The 18 we rented in may had 45k on it at the time. I'd imagine the fleet stuff is well into 100k (15-16s anyway)
