  1. Sorry to see that after a year, nobody still answered your question about the lack of bends in the pipe to replace the muffler. Lots of opinions though. I'm still curious if it was possible as I am cheap.
  2. I don't think it's a home WiFi problem. My 2017 Silverado and iPhone 6s do the same thing and I'm not connecting to WiFi. I have unlimited data so WiFi is not needed/not selected on my phone.
  3. My son recently got his 18 5.3 muffler deleted. Kept the valves and resonator in place. Sounds good all the time. Reminds me of cruising muscle cars in the 70's and early 80's. Going to do it to my 17 5.3 soon. Can't tell if mine starts when I try to remote start it from in the house. Can hear his just fine.
  4. Sorry I haven't tried since. It was about -20f that day it stuck, but it has warmed up.
  5. Today I raised the passenger side rear seat in my crew cab but when I went to let it back down it clunked and stopped a couple inches from the up position. I reached under to see if there were any latches or anything out of place, but found no reason for not lowering. I checked the position of the seat back while I was lowering the bottom but seemed normal. I repeated the process quite a few times before it finally didn't clunk and lowered. Has anyone experienced this?
  6. Just a follow-up. My dealer replaced both headlights (I pulled the air box to make sure the passenger side got replaced too) and re-flashed the body controller for no charge to me under the Bulletin. Won't know the results till September or October since the only darkness we have now in Alaska is when I am sleeping. Don't feel like setting my alarm to go for a joy ride.
  7. My Sierra is in the shop this morning getting the German headlights and BCM reflashed. Summer in Alaska is upon us so I won't really know if the lights are better till about October.
  8. I want a hand held electromagnetic pulse generator to wipe out cell phones. Texters and people with one hand with a phone and the other holding a latte beware!!
  9. That is what I experienced until I raised the headlight screw 1 full turn. I can now see at least a couple hundred yards ahead without it blinding oncoming cars. I run with my fog lights on to see to the corners close to me. Only problem I have is when I encounter an uphill section and I cant see past the shutter line.
  10. open the hood and look down towards the headlight through a 1" or so hole in the cover. There is a phillips looking screw there. It is plastic so don't reef on it. clockwise lowers and counterclockwise raises.
  11. 2014 Sierra SLE w/ fog lights. I agree they way they are aimed is unsafe. I read all 164 (estimated) pages of all the complaints about these projector beam headlights so I decided to attempt to adjust mine. Starting out I could only see about 100 feet in front of me. I adjusted the top screw 2 full turns counterclockwise and discovered my lights were shining higher than the horizon. I was blinded by the reflection of a road sign. I was on a deserted road so nobody was blinded and nobody flashed high beams. I then lowered them down one full turn (Now 1 turn higher than stock). They are perfect. They shine out 400-500 feet, don't reflect off the signs any worse than any lights and still have awesome coverage of the road directly in front of the truck, even better with fogs on. I flipped on the high-beams and I can see in the future (not really) and still see the road in front of truck. Took it to the highway up and down hills and around curves and have excellent visibility and nobody flashed the high-beams at me. Quick and easy fix and it only cost about a dollar worth of gasoline on the night-time test drive.
