  1. I just found a broken motor mount on mine. Look there too
  2. My 2010 idles around 20psi warm and will get close on some days to 40psi while accelerating but the fluctuation is always between 20 and 40.
  3. the main point I was trying to make with his comment is that he may be right, but only because people are going to draw out oil changes to 8, 10 12k miles. I use synthetic and still change it at 3k. as I said in my post now they've released an oil that's "good for a year" and there will be plenty of people that will believe it, I am not one of those people. changing oil is cheap insurance and is quick and easy, but slightly messy to do. the oil filter location could have been thought out a little more for sure
  4. I had a 30 year gm mechanic tell me that the AFM issue is due to using synthetic oil. I disagree with that unless people are using the oil life monitor or just thinking that you can go 15000 miles on an oil change. I run mobil 1 full synthetic with the dexos label on it and use either a fram or mobil 1 filter and change every 3k. I bought the truck with 103k it now has 127k and I only notice a little oil loss between changes. I have also disabled afm since around the 110k mark. This yearly oil that has been released now is insane to me. as far as oil pressure my truck pushes 40 when cold at idle. once it warms up it usually hangs at 20 and then around 30 when moving. my truck has the 3.08 gears so the rpm is always lower than trucks with other ratios.
  5. My truck is a 2010 that I bought with 103k on it. I changed the plugs and wires and had one plug wire where it would hit the steering linkage under the hood and it would pop that wire off. When that happened I got the service stabilitrak message too until I put it back on. Could it be ignition related? Maybe need new plugs/wires/coil packs? I'm with you in that I don't understand why oil would have anything to do with it.
  6. If it were me if run a new power wire from the main to the secondary and bypass the solenoid altogether. You can add one later of need be
