    I found this out a while ago that to actually turn off your radio, push and HOLD the power button, center button on volume knob. A simple press just mutes it, but a long press turns it off and I have a big clock that appears. also a quick mute of the radio, just push your steering wheel button to hang up a phone call and it mutes, as well as unmutes your radio.

    1) find level ground, i used my driveway and garage door and parked about 20 feet away 2) Aim truck at garage door and turn on lights, works best at night or dusk 3) with painters tape, mark the center of each headlight beam on your garage door 4) open hood and right around each headlight are a white plastic "screw", philips head 5) Turn them in the direction to lower the beam 6) I lowered my beam by about 2inch from the tape mark 7) Youre Done

    Looks Great, I ended up having to lower my HID's just a bit. Was getting flashed very regularly. since I have lowered them, I have not once been flashed in over a year now. for reference, im running 55w 5,000k DDM's

    Mine keeps breaking too and looks just like yours. Given up on it but now mine makes an awful screeching sound like nails on a chalk board as it falls down.

    Hey EFLine. I'm new on here and just stumbled on your post about "oil consumption." I have a 2014 Silverado LTZ and just had it serviced yesterday. I have about 60K miles on it and it's started using, (not burning or leaking) about 1.5 to 2.0 quarts between oil changes. I use synthetic oil but still get oil changed way before the 7500 mile recommendation when using synthetic. The dealer told me that oil usage like that was normal and provided me with some printed info from GM stating that. They recommend that I do a oil usage test between oil changes and gave me some forms to use and fill out documenting the oil usage. I told the that the truck does that on it's own by notifying me that it's low on oil. Then I check the oil and it's sure nuff it's low, then I add a quart or so depending on what is needed. What more test do they require than that? I'm 62 and have my share of vehicles. Back in the day when a vehicle began using oil, we never thought it was normal. I had a 1968 Z/28 Camaro, a 1967 SS Impala, a couple of pickups during the 80's and even sold Chevys for a good while in the late 70's and early 80's. I don't remember any of those using between 1.5 and 2 quarts of oil between oil changes. My how times have changed! I'm looking at a 2018 LTZ now and you can bet I will have this conversation with someone at the dealership before I stroke a check! (BTW my wife works for the dealer as their office manager and she asks me not to go back in service and make a fool of myself :rolleyes:)

    I too have been seeing lots of posts about the faulty lifters. Can someone give me the low down on the symptoms to look for that might show you have faulty lifters? Just want to get educated as to what I can do to keep an eye out for. I have the obvious "DI clatter" but I also have this nifty feature that I burn about 1.5 to 2 quarts of oil every 3,000 miles. Truck has about 62,000 miles now, and I do oil changes only with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic DEXOS and Mobil 1 filters every 6,000 miles. I did buy it used at 27,000 miles so no clue what happened before me....

    My vibration i feel is definitely coming from the rear of the truck and have yet to do anything about it yet. This time of year is just slammed with all the holiday and year and at work. But My first plan is to replace rear shocks, though i'll do entire truck, but hoping that will fix it. Going to change one thing at a time until it gets better to see what variable solved it.

    does anyone have a video of a shaking truck WITHOUT the bench seat in front? just curious as I know i mentioned it before, but seems that all the videos are of bench seats. does the denali magnetic ride suffer from shakes? I drove my dad's 2017 Yukon XL Denali back to back with my SLT Sierra and was blown away by how smooth his was. Then got immediately pissed how bad mine was, ha! I'm about to replace my axles as well as upgrade to 5100 shocks in hopes of elevating the shakes

    @tanner709 posted about Mrmotorsports and those are $348, and Rockauto is $371 and those are the cheapest I have found.

    Hey guys, finally time for me to jump on this bandwagon. Where are you all ordering the 5100's from? I went to Summit and Jegs and they claim the 5100's (B8) are non adjustable. People here are mentioning putting the shock on the highest setting though... I do have a RC 2" up front and stock in back if that changes anything? Can you guys help me out with where you are buying and part numbers? Thanks!

    well i chimed in before and count me in on my seats not heating again. nearly 2 years to the date. cooled seats broke 4x now heating element 2x in less than 30k miles... FL33i, did you figure out if you were going to take it to the dealer, fix yourself or just let it be broke? Wondering if you do it yourself where you'll get the element from?

    has anyone replaced their Torque converter themselves? I am out of warranty and thinking of replacing the TC as well as the axles from Yukon and Bilstien 5100 shocks. If you did replace your TC, what one did you use and did it end up helping? I have lots of other issues with RPM surges that im hoping this could eliminate a few issues

    I have had this happen to me twice and each time it was the "heating element" that is under the seat. The dealer claims that getting in and out of the truck causes it to wear down and break.
