I just double checked my paperwork and unfortunately it didn't specify. I recall looking into the detail of the corrosion warranty though and did not see the frame included. So, if I were you I'd get it right away. You are getting close! Also, you will likely only get one chance for them to fix this. Make sure they do it exactly as the TSB says which includes removing the bed. My dealer had redone mine twice and it still get peeling off and rusting out. And they didn't remove the bed. I found spots where they has just sprayed over the rust too. Nothing is more frustrating to see than that. I went off on the manager and he just ignored my complaints.

Thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll be checking this WAY more often.

I guess the obvious is probably already covered, but have you had your air filter replaced? What did they do with your service? Just oil change? I would make sure they used 0W-20.. but a GM service department should know what your truck recommends. These Direct Injection engines do have a lot of build up on the intake valves. I believe the dealers recommend this service at 30k miles, and it should improve fuel economy. HOWEVER, I am very skeptical of this service, because after I had it done, my cats failed from so much gunk being cleared out. Dealer had to replace the cats under warranty.

I'm getting 10mpg here in MN with 10F weather... I would be extremely happy to have your fuel econ! 1) Temps drop really does kill the fuel econ in these trucks 2) Tire pressure drops with temps as well. Mine were down 5psi. 3) My guess is 0-30-0 type of driving is not what they test for their 'city' est mpg. 4) Remote start every morning. I am probably getting the worst fuel econ of anyone with a 5.3L on here.. even though I have stock tires and no lift! I can't imagine if it was snowy all the time and I needed to be in 4WD. Probably would be getting 5mpg? Pretty disappointing actually.. I still get 20-22mpg highway though. I'm just not on the highway that much anymore.

Nope! I was surprised with the fuzz that was piled up in that corner. I clearly need to do this every 10k miles (or less), instead of every 15-17k. When I pulled out the filter, a leaf fell off the back of the filter and down into the blower motor. I didn't realize it until I fired the fan up full blast and it started making a buzzing sound. Had to pull the new filter back out, and wedge my hand in there and pull it out. I was lucky I didn't have to take the blower motor out just to get it.

Haha, yeah I reread some of the posts here, and my idea of how leaves get into and on the cabin air filter was quite wrong. I pictured a vehicle sitting outside somehow being more prone to crap falling in,, but that isn't how that works lol.

Wow I'm glad I saw this thread and comment. After just 15k miles, garage kept, this filter is still dirty as hell.

I didn't think you could run 275/70/18 without at least 1" of front. But is it really needed? Or can I run this size without a level and not have any rubbing?

This includes the Rancho shocks? I'm hearing that the 5100's have a stiffer ride than the stock Ranchos.

Why did you only do rear? I'm looking to do front and rear soon.

I just read that some GM mechanics are blaming lifters going bad due to having AFM disabled. How does that work? Are there lifters specific to AFM? I just can't picture how using all 8 cylinders could cause a lifter to give out.

I bet that FXR kit is awesome. I did my Morimoto Elite kit yesterday. Installation was a breeze. I used 3M double sided tape to mount everything. I am definitely happy with the results. It is a nice improvement! They aren't flamethrowers like the pictures I've seen of the 50W, but the improvement over stock makes it worth while.

Any issues with them blinding oncoming traffic? I just want to make sure people aren't flashing me constantly, even if they are aimed properly.

Have you had it in your Ohio winter yet? Did the 5500 do well at contrasting snowy roads?
