The one thing you can take from this is, STUPIDITY does not discriminative who it lives in, does not care about the color of your skin, gender, or the safety of anyone around except themselves. Because as we all know, you can mentally control a bullet's path after it leaves the gun, so that way you don't shoot the child, or innocent victim in the car next to the white truck. This time luckily, irony only hit the ones that deserved to be shot.

I have to admit, growing up watching my dad log every single thing in a note pad in the glove box on his vehicles, so I get where the mindset comes from. Sadly though, in 20 years this post will be complaints about someone's "truck" saying they were getting 250 miles on a charge, and it actually only went 235 miles.

No, but it did sound like it gave some instructions to the driver as he secured the car. It looks cool going back and forth, and matches the paint almost spot on.

They could just have been really sloppy when they changed the oil. They may just be lazy and are trying to work around the skid plates, making a big mess as they go.

Try this for a reboot, report back if either works. General Motors For Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, GMC vehicles Mylink/Intellilink (2014-2016) • Press the Home and Fast Forward buttons for at least 10 seconds GM infotainment (2017-2019) • Press the Onstar call button, then hang up.

First one I have been this close to, very nice. Does anyone know what the "Knight Rider" scrolling blue LED is in the grill? Looks pretty cool, does the same scroll whether the car was running or parked and shut off.

sí señor, tiene razón

Oooh, I know the answer to this one, he is a man with two first names, and is still rocking a modified mullet?

Always liked Cooper tires, especially the Discoverer series. Good choice!

I drive a 5000 + pound truck with a 6.2 (376 CI) engine, if my right foot gets a little "heavy" I fully expect crappy fuel economy. If I drive with a light right foot, I still expect to get "not great" mileage, because it is a big heavy truck, so what is actual, compared to what the truck tells me is kind of a moot point. Like deiselfan1 eluded too, if every drop of gas and penny makes a big difference in ownership, buy an econobox and rent a truck from U Haul when you need it.

You know I was kidding, correct?, thanks for all of the information though.

Are there a lot of thefts in your area? If so the lot is trying to track down their trucks after they are stolen. Would check with the dealer to see how it is installed, saw some horrifying videos of cars with their dash ripped apart as they try to hide the device and the battery back up when putting them in.

Nothing to do with On Star in the OBD port. Usually anything plugged into it interferes with communication between the truck and "big brother".

So, you are saying the salesman might have lied about my Halo Projector HID LED Xenon Laser headlights?

Look up that number online and see what pops up.

Do you have power assist steps?

Some light reading for you: How to Perform a Chevy Silverado Drive Cycle The Chevy Silverado drive cycle below will complete or make ready your truck's emission monitors, including the EVAP monitor, Oxygen Sensor monitor, EGR monitor, Secondary Air Injection, and Catalyst monitor. If after completing the drive cycle your Silverado will still not complete any or all the monitor(s) we have to recommend visiting a Chevy dealer or the smog check repair center. We should note, the secondary air injection monitor which checks for the performance of the air injection system and air injection pump requires the monitor run during a cold (engine) start. Once the engine warms up, the monitor is done checking the air injection pump and will continue on checking the performance of the remainder of the AIR injection system. With that said, it's not the number of miles driven which resets the air injection monitor, rather the number of cold starts required to get all the other parameters required for the air injection monitor to to run. Starting the engine after the vehicle has sat for at least 8 hours in normal weather conditions would be considered a "Cold Start". Since the air injection monitor takes into effect ambient air temperature, it is best to perform a cold start on a morning. START HERE A. Cold Start: Begin from Cold Start, and ignition in OFF position for at least 1 hour. Ensure your Chevy Silverado's fuel tank is between 1/4 and 3/4 full. Engine coolant temperature must be below 122°F and within 11°F of the ambient air temperature. Do not leave the key on prior to the cold start or the heated oxygen sensor (O2) diagnostic may not run. B. Idle Time: Run engine (do not drive) for 2 1/2 minutes with the air conditioner on and rear defroster on. During this period the ECU will be running the Oxygen Sensor Heater self-test, Air Injection System Passive Air test, EVAP Purge "No Flow" test, Misfire Detection. C. Accelerate: Turn off the air conditioner and rear defroster and begin driving your Silverado. As soon as possible apply half throttle until 55mph is reached. The ECU will now run self-tests on the Misfire Detection, Fuel Trim, and EVAP Purge Flow. D. Hold Steady Speed: Hold your speed steady at 55 mph for three minutes. During this time the Oxygen Sensor O2 response, Air Intrusive (AIS System), EGR Flow, Purge Valve, Misfire Detection, and Fuel Trim diagnostics will be performed. E. Decelerate: During this step slowly let off the accelerator pedal. Do not brake or shift in order to slow down. It is important to let your Silverado coast along gradually slowing down to 20 mph. The ECU will once again self-test the EGR System, EVAP Purge System and Long Term Fuel Trims. F. Accelerate: Accelerate again at 3/4 throttle until 55-60 mph is reached. This will perform the same self tests as during the first acceleration step. G. Hold Steady Speed: Hold steady speed once again. This time at 55mph for five minutes. During this time, in addition to running the self-tests as during the first HOLD STEADY step, the ECU will perform the catalyst monitor diagnostics. If the catalyst (Catalytic Converter) is marginal or the battery has been disconnected, it may take 5 complete driving cycles to determine the state of the catalyst,or in order to Complete the CAT Monitor. H. Decelerate: This will perform the same diagnostics as in the first Deceleration. Remember not to press the brakes or shift gears (don't press the clutch if equipped). This ends the drive cycle. Performing the drive cycle on your Chevy Silverado at least twice will ensure all monitors run, including the EVAP monitor, and your Chevy Silverado is ready for the smog check. Should you want to perform specific Monitor self-tests follow the steps below. Catalyst Monitor (CAT): Prerequisite: No trouble codes present, Intake Air Temperature (IAT) above 32 Degrees (F), Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is above 167 Degrees (F); Mass Air Flow sensor is indicating greater than 15 gm/s, engine load is below 63% and steady, engine speed is below 3000 RPM. 1. Idle vehicle 5 minutes (achieve closed loop) 2. Drive 5 min at steady speed above 55 mph 3. Drive 2 min at steady 40 mph 4. Drive 2 min at steady 55 mph EGR Monitor (EGR): Prerequisite: No trouble codes present, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is above 75 Degrees (F); barometric pressure (BARO) above 72kPa. 1. Idle vehicle 5 minutes (achieve closed loop) 2. Accelerate and drive for 1 min at steady speed above 50 mph 3. Slow vehicle down to 20 mph. Do not use brake clutch, or shift gears. 4. Repeat steps two and three 5 times. Chevy runs their EGR monitor during the deceleration portion of the drive cycle. Evaporative Monitor (EVAP): Prerequisite: No trouble codes present, Fuel tank between 1/4 and 3/4 full. 1. Drive 5 min at steady speed between 30 and 60 mph 2. Stop vehicle and idle engine for 4 minutes. 3. Turn engine off. Remove ignition key. The ECU will run the EVAP Monitor once the engine has been shut down and ignition turned off. O2 Sensor Monitor (O2): Prerequisite: No trouble codes present, Intake Air Temperature (IAT) above 32 Degrees (F); Engine Control Temperature (ECT) is above 167 Degrees (F) 1. Idle vehicle 4 minutes (achieve closed loop) 2. Drive 3 min at steady speed above 50 mph 3. Drive 2 min at steady 40 mph 4. Drive 2 min at steady 50 mph Following the Chevy Silverado drive cycle above should allow all emission monitors to complete. The drive cycle must be followed accurately. Once again, take extra caution when performing the drive cycle on public roadways and perform the drive cycle at your own risk. Drive your truck safely and obey all traffic laws. posted by SmogTips Support 08-09-2018 04:35 PM No smog check? No problem. Pay your DMV renewal fees now and avoid penalties!

If you are a home owner, you will find things to use a truck as a truck almost weekly. And as irony works, if you get rid of it, you will need a truck for something.

Good looking truck! What part of Seattle are you in? Have you had any static from the local police for not having a front license plate?

Yea, he ran it, look at the other car still just sitting in the turn lane coming towards you. Time to go home and hide your truck from the public.

He just said he won't buy new again: One thing I can at least say I've learned with this is I will never buy another new vehicle again.
