  1. what brand filters did you do with, are they oiled or dry?
  2. If you are using GM's filter it is disposable and not to be washable
  3. Same set up I have and pleased with it
  4. a professional installer would steam the wrinkles out. All leathers seats have wrinkles untIl they go out on their own in the heat or they are steamed out
  5. i see pictures of valves with a catch can and they are clean but never a picture of valves without a can with truck with same mileage. If these are really needed I cant believe a vendor hasnt done a side to side test, one truck with a can , another without and posted the results after so many miles. Maybe there is a reason they havent ???
  6. What ya gonna do when your Furd starts shakin?
  7. My wifes 2010 Explorer has it but the door doesnt leak like the silverado. Thats the whole issue
  8. nothing wrong with capless, I have a issue with how the door on the Silverado doesnt seal. Look at other GM products, looks like all the other doors actually seal Everytime I wash my truck I get a small amount of water laying in the trap door. Not enough to really hurt anything but it goes into the tank when filling Yes I can wipe it out with a rag if it bothered me but its the point. If water lays there and goes into the fuel system so does dirt,dust etc
  9. but how do two seals help? Something gets past the first seal when fueling it will fall past the second seal into the tank
  10. exactly!! why did GM just drop the ball on the Silverado ??
  11. Yes they may be two flappers but it still doesnt keep junk from getting into the system when fueling. Again why do the other GM vehicles have a door that seals
  12. Seems that other GM vehicles have a sealed door to keep out the weather but why not Silverdo? Even states so on GM website " "The doors are designed to assure the system will remain airtight through years of use." https://my.chevrolet.com/learnAbout/capless-fuel-filler/2017/Silverado 1500 Sounds to me that someone dropped the ball and let this feature out?
  13. So far (knock on wood ) my truck has been perfect and no I ma not brand loyal. I actually came to GM after a lifetime of being a Ford owner. Never had any real issues with them either
  14. looks good....................
  15. After much research and finally talking to the right people I have found out that there is a difference between the 2015-2016 #84016022 and the 2017-2018 #84089441 GM performance CAI intake. The 2017-2018 intake has a hydrocarbon absorber built into the aluminum intake in a plastic cage, the 2015- 2016 does not. The 2017-2018 trucks have to follow a more stringent emissions standard so this was added. Otherwise the two intakes are the same Also found that the dry performance filters are not washable and should be replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 miles depending on conditions. The cone filter part number is #23231630. If you google the part number online discount GM parts vendors incorrectly show this as a standard square filter which is incorrect. I hope this helps and clears up some confusion on the intakes
