I would say the main negative would be that I believe it's around when the 8-speed was introduced, so most likely it will have the original parts, whereas newer trucks will have 8 speeds with various upgraded/improved parts that fixed various issues with it.

? I would expect there to be a bushing for the yoke to ride on, there is for both my '04 and my '12. Perhaps that bushing needs to be replaced? It is possible to replace it w/o pulling the TC (at least for my trucks), but it does require special tooling.

your body automatically makes more blood for free so it's NBD...

So he wants to take a 20% cut of the value of all the oil and whatever products pass through the strait? That would bump up the price of oil noticeably...

You might find the specs on https://lemon-manuals.la/ or subscribe to alldata.com for your truck.

subscribe to alldata.com, that will have gm's brake bleeding procedure. and what you have to do likely varies, as if you just replaced a caliper and the MC didn't go dry, you most likely can just do a normal bleed on that corner, but if you disconnected lines at the MC or the abs unit, or let the MC run dry while doing work, you'll have to do a more extensive/complicated bleeding procedure.

charm.li (website) or alldata.com has wiring diagrams you can look through to see what things are on what circuit.

look for it's replacement procedure on charm.li or alldata.com For my '12, the sensor is pressed into the evaporator directly, and to replace it w/o pulling the whole hvac box, you cut a hole in a specific spot to gain access to it, and then plug the hole afterwards.

The bcm failing is not the first thing I would consider. I would be using a more advanced bidirectional computer to log what the bcm and rcdlr is doing, and if those systems have any codes.

maybe get a service manual off ebay? or check charm.li (website) or subscribe to alldata.com for it?

Have you already dealt with the trans thermostat, which I think your burb might have? I know the trucks have one that keep the trans temp higher.

If it is just due to low resistance, then I would add LED hyperflash resistors to the left and right brake/turn signal lights, and if that doesn't work, perhaps the parking iights as well.

from looking at the parts for an '18 5.3 or a 6.0 burb on rockauto, it doesn't show a separate oem trans cooler like the trucks have.

Maybe look on the transmission to see if the trans cooler lines are present there, then follow them forward?

I have an Edge Insight CTS2 in my '04 3500, and find it works well. Only real problem I have with it is the obdii connector will work itself free over time, so it stops working and also freaks out the trucks electronics for a bit. Remove and plug it in and it's good to go. More recently, I've taken to zip-tying it in place which also seems to work.
