What's the specifics on the diode needed? -
Harsh Downshifts - is there a fix?
rangerhgm replied to njk4o5's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
I have ~2500 on my truck and just took an extended trip a week ago and noticed the hard downshift for the first time. Until this trip I hadn't done and hard braking, but I did notice it a couple times during the trip. -
I accidentally drove my 07 SLE 400 miles on the highway in 4wd....never noticed until I turned into my driveway. Had the truck for 5 years after that and no problems.

Exactly the way it works on my Samsung S5 Android, using Google vs Siri.

Cylinder Deactivation Issues?
rangerhgm replied to VeronaGMC's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
I've got a 2017 Silverado with the 5.3. I only have a little over 300 miles on mine, but I really never even notice when it switches between V8 & V4 and back unless I happen to look at the DIC and notice it. Too early to tell about oil usage. I had a 2007 Sierra 5.3/AFM with 92+k miles on it and it never used a drop of oil between changes. Everything was left stock on the truck from the day I bought it.....no tunes, no new exhaust etc. I hope my 2017 fairs as well as the 2007. -
Silverado operating temperature.
rangerhgm replied to Robert Lackaye's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
My 2017 Silverado runs at 210 and my 2007 Sierra ran at 210....both on the analog gauge -
What oil are you using.

My truck has covers over the oval holes down each side of the bed and the last hole (closest to the tailgate) is round with a rubber cover.....that's the one. -
I've only got 200 miles on mine, but no shake so far.....

What stubby antenna gets the best reception?
rangerhgm replied to Kerrslight's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
I bought this 17" from Orileys and it works well. I'm in Dayton, OH and pick up WLW (AM) out of Cincinnati very clearly and pick up FM channels the same as the OEM antenna. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/MET0/AWRMF2/N0201.oap?ck=Search_antenna_N0201_5239239_2047&keyword=antenna&pt=N0201&ppt=C0325 -
I currently have the truck in my sig and tow a bassboat (approx 3000 - 3500lbs). I'm considering a new Colorado or Canyon (preferably Canyon) with 3.6 engine, but am concerned about towing the boat.....too much boat for not enough truck? I know they are rated to be able to tow more than that, but I'd like some real world insight. Anyone towing a rather heavy boat with one? Any problems/concerns?
