  1. The day I brought it in for service I had added fluid...i was getting the low fluid message with the mileage left pop up. I added enough to go 2 bars above mid level. Message went away, gauge level looked correct, battery got changed and thats when the mileage remaining of 1213 started coming up. I'll try disconnecting the battery and give an update.
  2. Update: Message still pops up but the mileage hasn't changed. Always shows 1213. Keeping an eye on the level indicator to see if it drops. Maybe disconnect the battery for a few min? What do you guys think? Scott
  3. No updates were done. Here is a pic...
  4. I have a 2020 Sierra with the 3.0 duramax. Just recently it went in for an oil change and I had them load test the battery. They determined the battery was bad and it was replaced. Most of the settings for the truck wasn't changed with the exception of the seat memory. XM settings and most everything else was still there. Now at startup i'm getting a pop up showing my DEF range, currently its's around 1500 miles and the level is over half full. Only time i've ever gotten a pop up message is when its low. Now its during every startup and you have to acknowledge the message each time. I can't find a setting anywhere to prevent this. Any ideas? Thanks everyone!
  5. VERY light off road. I have a wrangler for serious off roading. So I guess i'm more for the look and the "just in case" scenario, if I need it, I have it. I would have preferred the 18's but the only trucks on the lot that I liked had the optional 20's. Scott
  6. Nice ride. I got mine from Cavenders also.
  7. I had come to hate the limited package. It was a 4wd "street" truck, 22's with street tires. When I bought it I was admittedly drawn to the new look and all the tech stuff. I like trucks that are set up more for off road. I ended up leasing it so I never bothered replacing the wheels/tires. So a couple weeks ago my salesman texted me and asked if I still had the truck. I guess the used car market is really hot now and they were trying hard to get them. At first I thought it was a typical dealer gimmick but come to find out it's true, it wasn't just them, lots of dealers are looking for used cars. I brought the truck down to get it appraised and an offer. I still had 14 months left on my lease but they made a great offer and I ended up making some money off of it. So then I decided maybe the Rebel was a better fit for me. I wanted a 21 because thats when Ram started coming out with the HUD and rear view camera mirror. Again I love that techy stuff LOL. The price for the truck with all the options I wanted was around $66K. Only downside to the Rebel was that it didn't have cooled seats, only perforated. The other trim level I considered was the limited longhorn, it could be set up similar to the Rebel but it would have been over $70k. I have never been interested in Ford so I started looking at the Silverado and Sierra. I wanted the diesel but the only trims I could find them in was the LTZ. I found one I liked that had a great price with all the options I wanted so I sent a message to the dealer. I then started looking at the Sierra AT4, I liked it a lot better than the LTZ, no chrome!. No offense to my Silverado brothers but I really liked the looks of the GMC better. Only downside to the GM trucks is that the interior doesn't compare to the Ram (I really love that 12" screen!) but it was something I could live with considering all the other cool features it has. Seemed like all the AT4's around Austin were either black or white. I've been done with black cars for a long time LOL and I never really liked white. I was more looking for the darker gray color (I forgot the name of it) but then I saw the satin steel at a dealership in San Antonio. They were advertising it for $10K off sticker ($6k GM incentive and $4k dealer discount). It had all the options I wanted. I contacted them but of course it had been sold. I then checked another dealer in San Antonio and they had 3 of them, only minor negative thing about the trucks was that they all had the 20" wheel option. I wanted the 18" with the better tires. So I went to test drive the truck and I loved it! I really loved how it drove and how it felt and the 20's actually looked good. The dealer discount was only $500 but they matched the other dealers discount. Only negative is that it comes with running boards which gets put on at the dealer but they are back ordered, so i'll need to go back to put them on. I'm 5'11" but it still a good hike to get up and down out of that cab! There are some nit picky stuff I don't like about that truck. While i'm on break at work I sit in the truck and listen to music for an hour. In this texas heat I have the engine running for the AC. Well the truck shuts down after like 15min of idling and acc mode shuts off after like 10 min. Pretty inconvenient. I also wish they put a page with a list of all your gauges displayed digitally like you can in the ram. While i'm on break I monitor the battery V to make sure I don't go below 12.1V. With this trucks analog gauge you can't see where 12V sits. Again, just nit picky stuff. Overall I like the interior with the exception of that little tiny baby infotainment screen. LOL Sorry for the long winded explanation but it's hard describing the method of my madness LOL. I'm enclosing another pic, I just got it back from being ceramic coated. Pics don't do it justice though.
  8. Back into a GM truck after 3 years. 2020 Sierra AT4 Carbon Pro with the Duramax. Loving this truck! Coming off a 2019 Ram 1500 limited. There are certain little details I like better about the Ram but overall I'm enjoying driving this truck a lot more! Scott
