Hello, I own a 2014 silverado painted white gold, paint code bc/ccu 800j . Have a small blister/spot on the side edge of my hood so I bought a ACdelco touch up kit that matches paint code. When I applied the paint, its plain white, some say its turns proper color after clear coat is applied but no luck there, it didn't change one bit as I suspected. So my question, has anyone who owns a truck with that color had any luck with a matching touch up paint> the one I used is genuine acdelco Part #19357784 , code 98u wa 800j. I purchased from Amazon, some reviews were positive many others with the same problem. Going to try dealer next but this paint kit is the right part number, as far as I can see. Thanks, Don

on my 2014 silverado 1500, 5.3 engine I've been useing the various versions of ac pf63 filters. With that, my idle speed oil pressure has always been around 25 psi and then around 40 psi when driveing at normal speeds. Just installed a fram Ultra synthetic oil filter and my oil pressure jumped about 8-10 psi at idle speed, to around 37 psi. So my question is where is the pickup point for oil pressure on these engines? before or after the filter, or elsewhere? Just concerned of the possibility that this new high micron filter is holding back flow to the engine and that's why the pressure is higher? Also the new revised version of pf63 is made in CHINA , if anyone can recommend a good filter thats US made I'm interested. Thanks, for any responses- Don

Thanks, I'll ask about the balance, I'm not sure how they did it. I'm used to talking to the service manager or mechanic themselves, in this new world you don't get to talk to anyone close to the work anymore. I crawled under the truck today and checked the universal joints, they all seemed tight except the output shaft to the front wheels on the transfer case had some play in it right at the case, I'm assuming there's a bearing inside close by, kinda surprised me because I've only used four wheel a couple times over the years, although I engage it on straight runs once in awhile just to move things around. i can't see how that would contribute to any vibration but on the other hand I'm assuming there's rotating members in that case and something could go wrong in there. I changed that oil last year, along with every other fluid in the system.

My truck has 55,000 miles on it, new firestone le3 tires at 47,000 mi., compared to the original SRA tires the le3's felt a little harsher on bumps but smooth and quiet overall. Shortly after I rotated the tires I started noticing something like a harmonic vibration, more noticeable between 30-50 mph and depending on the the road surface. Took truck to chevy dealer, had tires rebalanced , front end alignment checked and they ended up rotating the tires again, its still vibrating. Going back to tire dealer next week because I think its something with the tires, even tough the tire surface is pretty flat. If I put the truck in neutral the vibration stays the same that's why I'm pointing at the tires, but is this logic wrong? the vibration feels like I'm driving over a very mild form of those slots they put in the center of the road or if your driving with a rear window open where you get that pulsating noise / feeling. Anyone have similar problems that might be something look at, I appreciate any feedback. I drive very easy on my vehicles, avoid potholes, nothing off road, things like that so pretty I'm confident its not a damaged part situation. Thanks, Don c.
