My 2017Silverado had the same thing. Upper passenger side had corrosion in it and didn't work. 35,500 miles and fixed under warranty. Bill said they replaced harness. Jim

Good luck on the truck. See you maybe in the future. Jim CYWG

Some have raised the idle a hundred rpm to get rid of the idle shudder. They said it worked. Jim CYWG

On my 2017 Silverado WT the bowtie is 1 and 3/16's of an inch from the bottom of the plate around the handle to the top of the bowtie. The below link might help. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=88126 Jim CYWG

FedEx says it is there. Jim

Latest I have is the package will be there by the 16th. Jim

Got it. Plane leaves here in a couple days. Not much traffic here in the middle of nowhere. Good luck. Jim

Need your mailing address. Could be a week or two till it gets there. FEDEX. Jim

It is fully assembled so there is nothing to do but look at it. Is that what you are looking for? It does move as I described above but you sometimes have to help it along. Jim

I am looking to give away the rock crawler. Free postage and manual. I will pack it up as best as I can but no guarantees about what will happen when it gets there. Let me know. Jim

It was really weird. I assumed that the transmission fluid lines worked the same as the engine coolant lines. In at the top and out at the bottom. So I took the transmission line at the top of the rad off and put my bucket under it and started the truck. Well the fluid started shooting all over the engine. What a mess. lol Stopped the truck and figured out that it is reverse. In at the bottom and out at the top. Not sure why this is the way it is but the lines could only hook up one way. I figure it is because they don't want the transmission fluid to get too cool. Can anyone confirm the way the lines work in the 2011 5.3 - 6 speed? Not a big deal. Thanks Jim

On my old 99 Sierra 4.3 I used to change the transmission fluid by removing the out tube at the rad and start the truck. It would then pump the fluid into a bucket. I would stop doing this when the pump went wooosh, wooosh a couple times meaning the pan was empty. Then I would fill the pan up. Then start the truck and repeat a few times until I felt I had removed most of the fluid. It was good enough for me. Think this would work on a 2010 Sierra 5.3 - 6 speed? I didn't want to change the filter. Thanks Jim

I am going to keep track of my hours between oil changes. Still change it at the recommended interval but just to see how many hours. Jim

Can you post a link to the resister? Thanks Jim

Ever get this figured out? Jim

This may be of some information.

Ever get the problem fixed. Jim

Some have had a tune to increase idle by 100 rpm and the vibration disappears. My 2014 did it but GM wouldn't raise the idle for me. Then it might violate warranty. Jim

For years I just vacuumed out my old one. Opposite to the air flow. Worked for a long time. Jim CYWG

Nice trick. Thanks Jim

Really hard to believe that an engine would seize that fast. The chimes start and you stop the engine. Unbelievable. I have been to party's where they would start engines with no oil and see how long they would run. Longer then this. They are going to try to f%^k ya man. Be careful. Jim

The battery in my 99 GMC lasted 13 years. This is in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada where it gets to -30 to -40 F in the winter. I used a battery blanket the whole time when it got below 0 F. Jim

Were you able to get this repaired? Jim
