  1. 2014 5.3 Silverado consuming about 5 quarts per oil change, and I usually change oil at 20%. Funny thing is when Chevy was changing my oil they never told me that it was burning oil. Just started the oil consumption test today.
  2. So there an extended warranty but your VIN was one of the ones covered? How the **** do they decide certain trucks are covered and some arnt when it’s the same condenser and compressor on every truck.
  3. So there’s an extended warranty on some trucks now?
  4. For people considering doing this themselves, if GM comes out with a special policy that makes this repair free or reimbursed those that had it done, I’m not sure you’ll get reimbursed for the price of parts and definitely won’t be reimbursed for your labor or labor for a technotian that’s not a certified GM technicitian. Just something to keep in mind.
  5. Got a call that the total is just over 900 dollars and I have to cover 500. It was the condenser. I can’t help but feel like my dealer is bending me over on this one.
  6. I was driving to look at a used tailgate yesterday, because mine was recently stolen. I got on the freeway and realized my air conditioning was boiling lava hot. Then the guy selling the tailgate was a tweeker and it was clearly stolen so I passed and drove away in my boiling hot truck. I thought the day couldn’t get much worse, until I saw the 1,600 dollar price tag. I filed a claim with GM chat and took the truck to the dealer, the service manager didn’t seem surprised. I told him I could almost guarantee it was the hose, condenser or compressor, he said that sounded about right. It’s a 2014 Silverado LTZ 4x4 with 33,600 miles but I’m over the 3 year mark. I have owned 9 cars, half of them reached over 100,000 miles and I have never even had to charge the A/C systems. The fact that there isn’t already an extended warranty for these parts blows my mind. Add this to failed leaf springs, failed seat bracket, failed front parking sensor, failed brake booster, and I burn at a minimum 1 quart every 1000 miles. I will never buy a GM vehicle again as long as I live. Anybody who defends GM on this is a nut job, they clearly put an inferior part on these vehicles and are trying to avoid a class action suit but for whatever ass hole reason refuse to extend the warranty on these parts. Rant over, hopefully I get decent news tomorrow. After reading that some people with twice my mileage only end up paying 200-300 I will be ranting again if I have to pay more.
  7. I ordered 1.75" spacers so I don't have to cut my lugs, hopefully my wheels don't stick out too far. King, fox, saw, icon...they are all good. Just pick your color. I personally like king and fox, and got a good deal on fox so that's what I went with. I'm not sure of the valving of each shock, I'm sure each company valves their oem coilovers just a tad more firm or soft. I would imagine that info would be hard to get out of the manufacturers though.
  8. My factory wheels are 5.72" back spacing, camburg says a maximum of 4.75". So a 1" spacer would put me at 4.72", should work...in theory. It does pain me to put something as cheap as a wheel spacer on a 50,000 truck. But I actually like the stock wheels and can't justify spending another couple g's on wheels and tires. On another note, did you cut anything on the bottom control arm in order to get maximum travel? Or remove sway bar?
  9. Would a wheel spacer fix the contact problem with the uca? I just ordered the fox coilovers and camburg uca, I have the 18" oem wheels and I want to keep them. Was it the tire or wheel that rubbed?
