Is there a definite period of time where these trucks were affected? I have a 2016 that's about a year and a few months old and has 28k. No issues so far but I really don't want to have to deal with my ac dying.

Richard Nixon founded the EPA after visiting China for the first time.

Almost 30k on my truck with tons of long highway trips and stop and go commutes, oil level is always perfect and I can never tell. Now, one comment I'll make has to do with the sound when you have an exhaust. My buddy's straight piped 5.7 Charger sounds "different" in 4cyl mode, but by no means worse. It still sounds like a V8 just a slightly different pitch. Are the Silverados alot different with an exhaust (or no exhaust?)?

Yeah, I have auto windows. Today the temp worked but had to reset the date an time. This is all very interesting. Very curious to see if my random little glitches ever happen again.

It just showed the numerical station, like 100.7 FM or something similar. Now below it it'll show song and artist and station name. I drove to the store and back, about 10 minutes each way, and it still was stuck on 32. I'll give it more time though. My main concern was the "lower and raise window" alert, which I read somewhere was a sign of an electrical problem? When I was placing the cable back on the post, it DID spark a little bit as I fitted it on and a tiny bit of what might be corrosion (size of maybe a big grain of sand) appeared on top of the post. I've never played with a car battery until now so I'm a little paranoid.

So I disconnected the negative power cable on the ECU for about 15-20 minutes....I start the truck up, and: 1. I got the "open, then close driver window notification" 2. My temp says it's 32 outside. It's almost 80. Yes it says it's in F. 3. My radio never used to show song/station data. Now it does. Thoughts? Any idea to fix the thermostat?

So, I'm new to the topic of floor mats that's ever present in truck forums. I've seen that up until about a year ago WT was the best and a million times better that anyone else, and now they're seen as very overrated and many people are disappointed in the quality. What gives? I know on the Tacoma forums they said they changed either where they were made or the design or something of that vein.

Rough Country Floor Armor is also a good option from what I've seen. It's what I'm going with.

If I ever got a non-GM truck, the Power Wagon would be my first choice. Probably the most practically configured vehicle ever.

Just a thought, maybe the reason your engine temp creeps up when you gun it with these motors is to help burn off carbon?

A dealer ended up doing the tire swap and it wasn't mentioned, so I doubt it. However when I drive by those "your speed" radar things on the highway the speed it shows is right on with my speedometer.

Anytime man. I'm running P-rated 275/60/20 Duratracs.

For those with radiator issues, would there ever be a warning light or other indicator? My truck's engine temp has always ran a little high when running at high revs for an extended period of time (like uphill highway driving, it sustains about 3K or so).

Mine decreased about 2 mpg or so from the factory Continental CrossContacts. Feels like city driving suffered more than highway. Ride is probably firmer and I feel like my chevy shake is a tad worse, but with placebo factored in there probably isn't much of a difference in the ride itself. I'm going to be switching to 17's and Fierce Attitudes, also on stock suspension, soon as well.

This may be true, but if anyone REALLY drives out to the sticks, I'm talking hours from an interstate or mall, where anyone who acts like some big country bo because it's what's in now since Duck Dynasty and modern commercial country music and all those other contributors to posing have come about, and you pull into a gas station with a sign from 1978 and nothing for sale but fatback, mountain dew, the cheapest brands of smokeless tobacco and Busch is in the premium beer section, and you look who pulls in, I gurantee that the majority of the trucks gassing up will be two wheel drive V6's or I6's with mud grips on the rear wheels only, complete with straight pipes from when the exhaust fell off in 1997 and a dog who never leaves the shotgun seat. Growing up I saw more 4.3 Chevy's, 4.2 and 4.9 Ford's and 3.9 Dodges than any other kind of truck, and countless 4 cylinder quarter-tons. It was all we needed and they lasted plenty long. The image of what a truck is and what it supposedly has to have for "real work" or someones ego is alot different, contrary to popular belief, in suburban USA than in the hills and hollers that everyone is trying to claim their from. I'm not downplaying how cool modern engine technology is, I'm simply making a statement that "real rednecks", whatever that is, usually don't half-live out of a Denali for 20 years. A truck is something to depend on, not much else.
