  1. I put in the revised thermostat a month ago. Don't drive the truck much with fuel prices being high.
  2. I do it myself. I keep a log book & reset the OLM. GM knows when the OLM was reset, and if the date matches my logbook; I figure I'm good.
  3. I have a REELCRAFT hanging from the ceiling in my garage. No complaints.
  4. Finally got it out for a 2-hour round-trip; mostly freeway drive. Max temp on the freeway was low 160'ish. City streets was low 170's. Not towing, ambient air temp 55 or so. Very good start!
  5. The box is rusted? Really? Can you post a pic of where?
  6. Took longer than expected, but I finally got some time this weekend to get the swap done. Pretty simple to do, only two bolts. Didn't lose much fluid, maybe a couple tablespoons' worth. Now I've gotta actually drive the truck & see what my temps drop to, lol....
  7. What's the door jamb sticker say for recommended inflation psi? Usually LT tires are higher than P-rated. If you step down to P-rated, might be an issue with the TPMS?
  8. The K2 spends more time in the garage while the Cobalt sees more road time. Simple as that.
  9. I pick up my 158* TBV tomorrow from the dealer. Hope to get it installed this weekend on my '19 K2.
  10. Yeah, it's leveled with a spacer block kit under the bottom of the strut.
  11. If you haven't already, I'd call BDS & ask them is this what to expect from one of their kits & recommended installers. See what that gets you.
  12. IMHO, it's all about what's written in your contract. What does your paperwork say?
  13. I use this stuff. Pound it on thick with a schutz gun - completely satisfied with its performance through the winter & doesn't hurt the frame wax from my experience. Not cheap, but neither was my truck.
  14. Time to make a trip to local boneyards!
  15. Nothing is coming soon. We're running out of Dunkin' Donuts, so ...
  16. Looking for a clean set of K2 18" wheels in MI/OH for summer tires. Not interested in shipping; bonus if the TPMS sensors are included. TIA, Kevin
  17. I believe your only option to get the factory JL1 integrated trailer brake controller on a K2 is to sell your -JL1 truck & buy one with it. read more here
  18. I just run the All Makes All Models stuff from WallyWorld....
  19. Intake manifold gaskets are shot would be my guess.
  20. Agreed. Take it back to whoever did the work, then.
  21. Not normal. Best to get the front end in the air, then manipulate the control arms with a floor jack & see what's moving that shouldn't be.
  22. Things are unusual this year. Material shortages, labor shortages, cats & dogs sleeping together. Be patient with the service department - you may need them again.
  23. Fronts are pretty labor intensive. Yes, it can be done at home. Yes, you will need a spring compressor - a heavy duty one if you are using any of the leveling notches. I went to the 3rd notch on my 5100s and my OTC Strut Tamer couldn't handle it - took it to the shop and they had a Branick that got the job done. That was my experience....YMMV.
  24. I see nothing crazy about pulling the discount; given the current market conditions. Simple economics are in play here...
  25. Auto mode is the woman button. When it's sunny & 85 degrees outside, put your truck in 2WD.
