    Well so far, I can say it is definitely moisture related, as it only does it after rain/snow./wash, and then only intermittently. I'll keep hunting it, eventually I'll get there and figure it out.

    Bringing this old one back. Im having this problem now too. Anyone else ever have this and resolve it?

    You’ll have a power gain on e85, but less MpG. The big gains in e85 come if you actually do a full tune, you could see a 40+ hp difference between e85 and 91. My old truck was flex and I ran it occasionally, but my new work location has a station with e85 right next door and I didn’t even realize my 2017 isn’t flex, I thought all newer trucks were flex.

    So is there any information to show that you DONT need a tune for the truck to recognize the sensor? People saying both ways in most threads I’ve found on various forums. Some guys saying they plugged the sensor in and the pcm read it, others saying that you need special programming. Sorry to bring back an old thread but looking for some info. Im looking to add Flex fuel to my 2017 5.3.

    Send Phil (pgamboa) a direct message and he'll get back to you.

    I used a flexible extension shaft on my impact driver, it was easy but I was able to feel it onto the nut and get it off. To reinstall, I started it by hand then snugged it down same way I got it off.

    Reviving my old thread here, anyone else want to chime in? I never got the stations in the 300's in my truck... is there some kind of update I need to get those stations? I can get them on the app, but not in the truck.

    Thanks! You have them on long? How they holding up? I was looking at the GM 3" off road steps that come on the midnight edition trucks until I saw these. I live in the northeast so Im always worried about rust and rock chips from crap on the roads.

    I used “red n sticky” grease, Lucas brand. The tube says it’s plastic safe.

    What running boards you got on there? Looks good!

    After having this problem come and go for the past year, (truck currently has 15k miles), I replaced the shaft boot and it's totally gone. Grabbed it on amazon for $22, prime. I know I could have gotten it under warranty at the dealer but for $22 and 30 minutes in my garage i'm totally happy with the results rather than spending half a day at the dealership. I used part # 25815601 as previously mentioned in this thread by others.

    Well... I'm the OP and i just posted that I bought one.... but I did contact two local shops and they were WAY more expensive. I got the Hammerhead for $1100 shipped, and I got it within a few days of ordering. Local fab shops were a few weeks out, and wanted to have my truck for 3-4 days. This was way easier and Hammerhead makes a fantastic product.

    Ended up going with Hammehead’s bumper. The company had excellent customer service when I contacted them with a few questions, and I got a great deal through bumperstock.com. This is the Hammerhead model 600-56-0481. I’m going to get some better photos but here are a few I did take quick. So far I’m impressed. It’s very heavy duty, 1/4” steel, excellent powder coat finish.

    The rough country looks nice too, but isn’t shipping until early/mid March and thus, not reviews or feedback on it yet, the price of $650 scares me a little since most bumpers are going for the $1000 + range
  15. rastasquid
    Thanks for the smartass “search google” response, but there aren’t many photos of the fab fours bumper on Silverados out there. I’m well aware how to search for a photo. Also as mentioned it would be nice to hear some feedback as there aren’t many reviews for a lot of the companies making bumpers.
