    Probably that flapper valve in the exhaust. You'll find some threads on a search. You can take a small c-clamp and clamp it open and then see if it keeps doing it so you'll know if it's something else. It's normal but if it bothers you you can leave it clamped that's what I did.

    that looks like someone with a buffer got too aggressive. is it on both? or maybe if others have it, it is a manufacturing issue. I'd probably try to get them to replace it, looks scratched.

    I thought mine had the remote start not working issue for a long time, and then one day it was below zero and I had the time and actually let the truck run through both of the two remote start cycles, then I felt some warmth when I get in the seat. Not hot, but sorta warm. Without a butt in the seat they just don't get hot. and fwiw, my driver's seat I can't even use the high setting on, I get it started with that and turn it to low the rest of the time.

    totally agree, just sometimes that situation sneaks up on you where you are towing into a headwind in the middle of nowhere and you went from half to low indicator before you know it or you are on a weeklong backcountry trip or something and things happen. I like the idea of carrying a jug a testing it out. Great feedback on the ultra gauge, thanks.

    bummer, but at least you have a nice truck to do it in. Average commute in the US is something like 25 minutes, over 2/3rds are less than 15 miles each way, half less than 10. so yeah, a day or two. my light seems to go off when there are about 4 gals left. I always think I'm about to run out since the gauge is buried on E then end up pumping 23.x gallons with no worries.

    I think what might get me more is that the gauge is reading E at the same time. The low fuel indicator is one thing, but the gauge should be a bit more accurate. Not sure why the vehicle doesn't display the gallons left like the Onstar app dashboard does. Maybe that's an estimate too but I find it irksome to have the gauge read E and then you fill up and have 2-3 gallons left. It doesn't happen often but along those lines the OP is right, sometimes you need to know what's left. As it is the indicator goes off and the gauge looks empty and you know you can still drive around for a couple days.

    that's just it, there is no "actual" number. it's an estimate to begin with so if Chevy left it up and people started getting stranded when it said there was 10 miles left they'd be up in arms. I would agree and think it is too conservative but it's understandable why it is that way.

    the sr-a's I haven't noticed being too horrible in the snow as long as I'm in 4wd (auto). wet pavement though dang. but overall I agree, not exactly confidence inspiring to say the least. the bfg's look badass on that truck. it will be interesting to hear when he chimes back in on how they ride/noise.

    gotcha todd

    mine must be working differently then, I've used auto for the last six months set at 70. cool in the summer, warm in the winter. Although you seem to contradict yourself, if you are setting the temp and the heat is coming on, then it must know it's cold outside. I thought I had read here to use auto with the remote start for best results, or maybe I'm just misunderstanding you. Or more likely no one actually knows all the combinations that work, or half the trucks are one way and half the other, haha

    I don't think my seats are working either but yes, I think auto does need to be selected for the hvac and the heated steering wheel is manual only. I don't know if there's a difference between using the fob and using remotelink.
  12. thefishhawk
    Jesus you must live in that thing. Can't even imagine those kind of miles.
  13. thefishhawk
    So you own two trucks but zero tape measures? ;-) (sorry, couldn't help myself )
  14. thefishhawk
    Sorry, we were talking about silicone covers for the remotes, not the fobs themselves.
  15. thefishhawk
    Link? Seriously, I only see ones for the old style.
  16. thefishhawk
    I searched and searched and couldn't find one for these fobs yet. Got sick of the fob smacking on the steering column so just using the fuzzy side of velcro for now.

    What about bug spray? Deet will break down plastics/rubber like nothing else.

    Finally traded in the 02 Tahoe
