A little Ranger tire paint and you're good to go! https://www.rangerpaint.com/

As stated in numerous postings concerning the M/M act, it refers only to direct replacement parts, i.e., AC Delco oil filter to Fram oil filter. If you replace your OEM filter with an equivallent aftermarket filter, the onus is on the manufacturer to prove that the aftermarket filter's failure caused the problem. The alteration of the manufacturer's design of an existing system is not addressed nor covered by the M/M act. In short, if you alter​ the manufacturer's design in any way, and the owner's manual clearly refers to this, you void the warranty for any systems that rely on that part to function. A catch can falls under the latter category. Regardless of all of the "scientific" data that proves the can is a benefit and does no harm to the system, it still alters the original design and therefore, it is perfectly appropriate for the manufacturer to void your warranty out of hand ​for the components affected by the alteration​ when one is discovered by the dealer. The act's intent wasn't to protect the consumer, per se. It's intention was to ensure a competitive market for replacement parts or maintenance of your purchase. This act prevents the manufacturer from forcing you to use their components or service after purchase.

The word from the dealers is that there is a learning process involved with transmission programming. That may be the case in some small way. There may be some routine that fine tunes the base program. The funny thing is, I didn't experience any learning mode when I applied a Diablo tune to my transmission. The change was immediate and for the better. So I'm kind of skeptical about this "learning" mode thing. I'm not sure whether the transmission is adapting to the owner or vice versa. Anyway, to address your question directly, don't baby the truck. Drive it like you normally would and after 5000 miles or so, if it isn't right take it in for service. Trust me, you wouldn't be the first.

Well, it's been a while since I did the installation (about 2 years) but I believe that I cut a box end wrench in half and worked my hand into the available space. I won't kid you, it was very slow going, probably a quarter turn at a time. I just kept telling myself that I was only going to do this once to keep my head straight. And I do believe that once the OEM covers were out the job became relatively easy. The new inserts were open and made access to the bolts a little easier. Again, it's been about 2 years since I was under there, so my memory may a little off. When my wife gets home with the truck, I'll take a look and get back to you if I was not accurate.

I agree with the above statement 100%. AFM was never an issue for me. I actually liked it. The issue was the EPA biased transmission programming and engine tune. My aftermarket tune took care of both issues. And one other thing. This transmission "learning mode" is, in my opinion, something that I don't fully buy into. I didn't experience any learning mode when I installed my tune. It was a light switch experience. My transmission immediately began to function like a transmission should. So even if there is a learning mode involved, I can't believe that the engineers at GM couldn't come up with a better basic transmission program than the one currently being used in our trucks.

I installed Rigid light pods (you could substitute the OEM fogs if you want to) on my '14 Sierra W/T that came without fogs. It was tight but I didn't have to remove the bumper. I used the wiring harness with relay supplied by Rigid and obtained a push button switch with a red led ring around the button. I mounted the button below the trailer brake unit on the dash. I wired the button so the red led goes on and off with the interior lights. If you didn't know better you would think it was OEM. The other option was to purchase a remote control harness and either mate it with your Homelink unit or just use the remote. In any case, you don't have to run wiring through the firewall. Another nice plus is that you get to run your fogs with high beam.Something that most folks with OEM fogs would like to be able to do. So, to answer your question, it can be done and is a real pain but in my opinion worth the effort. Here is a picture of the switch You can find them on eBay all day long.

I think I would have responded, "Error codes or no, the unit is malfunctioning, it is under warranty, I want the system replaced." Obviously the issue isn't with the programming. The issue must be in the hardware. They should be obliged to begin replacing system components until the problem is repaired.

You're welcome. I figured I would jump in before some of our more hostile members reamed you for not doing a proper search. Towards the end of the thread there is a do-it-yourself fix that seems to work. Apparently, GM is baffled by this problem and can't come up with a lasting solution.

The items displayed in the DIC can be turned on/off in the settings menu. Have you checked to see if the off road display is turned off?

So all of us that bought your original Elite cans are out $175?? Now we have to buy the $300 E2X for proper protection! This can thing is starting to stink on ice!
