They'll give me $100 and dis-able the feature. :)

I really like the heated windshield fluid, nothing defrosts an windshield in the winter time faster, especially in a diesel.

Damn I guess I am loosing that feature on my truck then and all I am getting is a $100 bucks out of the deal... I wonder how much the feature cost in the first place?

Hmm don't know if I have this option or not. Im pretty sure I don't.

 

Being an '09 probably not,They discontinued the option early in the '09 model-year because of issues (Obviously!)

The switch for it would be under the HVAC controls.

Hmmm...so I can either keep my heated washer fluid (by not doing the recall) or have it disabled, get $100, and use that switch for something else...

I'll take there $100 bucks and still keep it! :)

But if I do disable it I'll order the group of switches "without" the switch for the heated washer system,That way I don't have a switch that does nothing....I hate having switches that do nothing :)

Its my favorite feature, there is no way in hell I'm giving it up cause a hand full of idiots prolly tried to use it with no fluid in the reservoir causing it to overheat.

 

out of 1.5 million vehicles, what's the chance of mine having the issue... please. Keep ur reservoir full and call it a day.

 

I also hate having buttons that do nothing! I hate the blanks for options I didn't get. I don't like the empty fuse spot that's labeled for air conditioned seats!

Does anybody have a picture of an '08 with that spot full of switches? I have wondered what all goes there and if I could fill it with switches to be used for other purpose.

I don't have a pic but I think the buttons are for the power pedals, stabilitrac & the heated washer fluid.

 

I have the heated fluid as well and LOVE it in the winter, even use it to get bugs off a bit better in the summer....

Do those three fill the whole spot? It looks like there would be room for 4 and all I have is the heated wipers. Being 2500HD, stabilitrac was not available on them in '08

I'm not 100% sure. The truck I ordered had stabilitrac, power pedals & heated fluid and I know thats where the buttons were....but there was an axle strike when my truck was ordered so I ended up getting one with out the stabilitrc & pedals....so I only have the one button too...

      Auto start stop disable

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed the Auto stop eliminator on my 21 Sierra SLT shortly after I got it. They have a detailed video instruction on how, took me about 20-30 minutes to do. I was apprehensive too to start tearing apart a new truck but it was pretty easy install. Like you mentioned get some trim tools. I went to Harbor freight and picked up a set. If you can find some install videos/instructions to give you and idea for a plan of attack you should be fine.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      If all oil manufacturers had to meet a higher standard for not just the initial filtering of the oil but that they had to improve on their formulation so that the oil cleaned the engine such as the Valvoline R&P or the new Mobil product ( assuming it works similar of course ), and the oil was changed on an interval based on good UOA data, there shouldn't be any gremlins running around like miniture rats on top of your heads to be washed down into the oil pan below 😁

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      A while back on another thread there were comments and thoughts on air filters and I know that can tend to be a bit of a hot topic because of outfits that have a vested interest in selling aftermarket air boxes fitted with the gauze type of oiled elements touting the lower air restriction. However and unfortunately I don't know where I have seen the test results in the past about the amount of dirt through a test procedure that these style of filters do pass more dirt through than a properly designed ( not some cheap Chinese knock off ) paper/synesthetic media filter can do. Lake Speed had a conversation on that topic with one of the employees at Donaldson and there seemed to be a consensus of these oiled filters falling short in the absolute percentage of dirt holdback.    Which all ties back into how good the air filter is on the engine at keeping dirt out as that is going to reflect as a contaminant introduced into the oil as well as cylinder wear even if some of that dirt does find its way out of the exhaust rather then the crank case. Put another way that one can throw the kitchen sink at filtering the oil and using a bypass system which I fully expect will do nothing but good for the oils contamination but if the air filter system isn't doing its job then its preventing the engine from reaching the best wear/lasting case scenario instead.    Now perhaps this topic is or isn't for this particular thread but Grumpy Bear or anyone else for that matter, do you have access to some scientific trust worthy testing on engine air filter types to get some proper comparison data to post up.
