At what ambient temperatures or loading levels do they claim that it makes any difference?

Stumbled across this today. 13) Thermal Bypass Valve Location on 10LXX Transmission Except on LM2 3.0L Diesel Engine On 10-speed transmissions, the Thermal Bypass Valve is located in the valve body. On 10 speed transmissions MQB, behind the LM2 3.0L engine this thermal by-pass valve is located in-line to the cooler. Fwiw, mine (3.0L 10 spd) always runs in the 180F range. It takes quite a while for it to get there, but peak doesn't seem to vary much with ambient temp.

That would be even more annoying....

That would be annoying... Do they also have tax on selling price of used ones or are used ones exempt?

It's for torsional vibration -- to make the driveline components last longer. Same thing as the harmonic balancer on the front of the crank.

Is tax in your state on the total price of the new one? Here the tax is on the difference between the new and the trade.

Glow plugs are still a thing... But they are now very very fast.

'Patience, grasshopper.' Event code updating to the outside world is never the best. Partially because that's not what it was created for... When the majority of vehicles were purchased from inventory sitting on lots, the way event codes update didn't matter much. Once out of the plant, the event code updating is hit and miss. Sometimes they are at the dealer before they show shipped. ...do you know when it was built?

If you are planning to order (and the inventory on lots is pretty thin, so you might have to) then it's gonna be a 2022.5 -- refreshed '22. One of the plants starts producing in Feb, the second one starts in Mar -- and they are adding 1500 chev capability to Oshawa, but I don't think I've heard a date for sop of the 1500. If you want a new one and don't want the refreshed truck you'll likely need to hurry.

fwiw, the auto start vehicles get a different starter..

None in mine. Ever.

I can't find where a 275/70/18 is a factory tire size. Aren't the standard RST tires 275/65/18?

Any chance the truck was left running? Easy to do with keyless system.

There is a setting in vehicle personalization for 'exit lighting'. However the longest setting is something like 2 minutes. Much shorter than what yours did.

month/year is usually on one of the door jam labels, is it not?

They are probably waiting for you to change your truck info under your avatar.. Still says: Name:Doug Location:Mass Gender:Male Drives:2014 Silverado LTZ Z71 CC 6.5' Bed 5.3L 3.08 Build Date 17 Jan 2014

I believe you are thinking of 'Denali Ultimate', rather than 'unlimited'. Limited designation (or LTD) -- applies to all the '22's that built same styling/features as the '21's (meaning the unrefreshed trucks). Supercruise will be standard on Denali Ultimate, and it will be available on High Country and on the regular Denali.

Certainly seems to be a better system than the 'hybrid' pickup that GM for a while offered 15 years ago.

Built in Dec 19 it should be a model year 2020 truck. 10th digit of vin is model year. K = 2019 L = 2020

Sure it works. 10 seconds with nor pedals pushed and it's in accessory mode - and computers fire up, fans and radio etc can be operated to put load on battery beyond the normal parasitic draw they have when 'off'. Just like when a keyed vehicle is turned to 'on' but not started.

Lots of machines get maintenance done based on hours -- even though miles is more common on road vehicles. Anyway, it's sometimes useful to compare the methods. Your truck has 32,264 miles. Since both hourmeters are available, we know that driving time is 868 - 123 = 745 hours. Avg miles per hour = 32264 / 745 = 43.3 mpg If the idling time was at the same rate -- 43.3 x 123 = 5326 additional miles. el camino calculated using total hours, so used 32264 / 868 = 37 mph 37 miles/hour x 123 hour = 4570 miles (and of course, if total is the only thing that is available -- then we use total mile / total time ) Of course, we all realize that there has to be some idling time (-warm-up, stop lights, etc etc) and that all driving is not at freeway speed. Leads us to what is the 'normal' average vehicle speed. For some reason I seem to think that typical average speed (base on total hours) is somewhere in the mid 30's. If the total hours is the only thing that is available -- then then our only option is to compare the average speed with typical average speeds for the same vehicle type. Imperfect method, but can give a little insight into how it is being used. The was a bulletin or info sheet or tech sheet gm put out that did give an average speed to use with the idling hours - to add to odo miles for service purposes. It also said that for warranty odo mileage should still be used. an example: The forklift has 6500 hours -- how does that compare to my pickup? 6,500 hr x 37 mile/hr = 240,500 miles

Start button and key and remote fob all do the same thing. They three all just send a 'start request' to the computers -- and the computers manage the whole start process. No need to hold the key or button 'til it starts -- just 'bump and release'. Keyed GM's have been this way for many years.

How do we know from that picture that it's 7.2kW? Does the 'full electric' 150 have something similar? I didn't / don't even know that it's Ford rather than some aftermarket installation. (Yes, I recall seeing the Ford commercials -- which is where the guess came from)

@dabunny Ignore the haters. Most every manufacturer is using the wide open throttle (WOT) while cranking thing for clearing floods. If neither brake or throttle are pressed -- and button held for 10 seconds -- idt will go into an 'accessory mode' which is sometimes desired for troubeshooting without the engine running. And while were at it, when starting, with foot on brake, it is not necessary to hold the button to start -- only a quick 'press and release' is necessary. n Button (with foot on brake) does the same thing as using the fob. Either one sends a 'request to start' signal to the BCM. ECM and BCM to whatever checks they do, and when they decide everything is good - (including finishing the glow plugs on the diesels if necessary) -- they send the crank command. Releasing the button (or key in vehicles so equipped) does not cancel the request. Been 'bump' starting our GMs for many many years.

https://gm-techlink.com/?p=15777 New Torque Specification and Installation Procedure for ACDelco Spin-On Oil Filters January 19, 2022 A new torque specification has been released for ACDelco spin-on oil filters installed on 2000-2022 GM models equipped with a gasoline engine. The new specification is in response to possible oil leaks coming from underneath the front of the vehicle after a prior oil change service was performed. In some cases, the oil leak may take several thousand miles to occur. If an oil leak is seen, it may be coming from between the oil filter gasket and the mounting surface. (Fig. 15) The filter also may be very easy to remove, or may be able to be removed by hand. Fig. 15 The revised installation specification for all spin-on oil filters PF64, PF63, PF48, PF66, UPF64R, UPF63R, UPF48R and UPF66R is: Lubricate the new oil filter gasket with clean engine oil. Install the oil filter one (1) full turn after the gasket makes contact with the sealing surface on the filter mounting flange. If installing with a torque wrench, it should be approximately 10 Nm of torque. The specification will be updated in Service Information and the label on the oil filters. (Fig. 16) Fig. 16 Refer to the Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine the proper part number for the replacement oil filter for the vehicle being serviced. For additional information, refer to Bulletin #22-NA-009.
