  1. You seem like you might know. Just trying to confirm the acdelco oil 0W/20 part #for our ‘17 6.2ls.

      I have just been letting the dealer do my free oil changes for life...........

      Ah-ha, I see.

      hiw about all of your truck tow numbers. Have you figured all of them out? This is what I came up with, but still not sure all are correct (truck weight and payload max for example) and still need to figure some others out.

       

      Truck curb weight 5547lbs ???

      - Max payload 2030lbs 

        (However, Passenger/cargo not to exceed 1869lbs, because this lower number 

      factors in 26 gallons of fuel  

      at 6.3lbs per gallon)

      - Max GVWR 7600lbs ???

      - Max conventional trailering (3.42 rear axle ratio) - 11,700lbs

      - GCWR (3.42 rear axle ratio) 17,700lbs

      - Rear gross axle weight rating - 4300lbs

      -Front gross axle weight rating - 3950lbs

       

      ????

      GCWR

      RGAWR

      GVW

      RGAW

       

       

  2. That is called a muffler swap.........
  3. Simple and effective solution: https://www.ebay.com/itm/382009468868?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649
  4. I think the 20+ computers on these rigs just have a brain fart at times. Just like your home PC needs a reboot on occasion. My 2017 has had a few quirks - chime going of every 30 seconds for no reason. Pulled over, turned it off and restarted. Never repeated since. Turn signal blinking but no noise. Same fix - pulled over - rebooted - never repeated since. On a 1,200 mile trip a couple weeks ago the temperature display stuck at 32 degrees thru multiple starts over a couple days while daytime temp was aver 60 degrees - finally reset....
  5. Used mine a couple of times is all on the 2007 - you had to trim the plastic facia to even get a good size strap thru them. Yarded an old Ford truck out side ways once that had sat for years and broke the brakes free. Another time to brake a truck as it rolled off a trailer with the wife steering - it no working brakes of it's own.......
  6. Well it ain't no Silverado - but here's my buddies' report on his Cobalt........... Yes a Cobalt nearing 300K..........
  7. Could you leave the front alone - and shackle the back to level it and not lose ride quality on mag ride?
  8. LOL - That would have saved a dragonfly from death last week - towing to the beach we hear this "TWANG!" at about 35mpg when we are almost there. We look up and a dragonfly is stuck head first on the OEM antennae - and stayed there all week and for the 125 mile trip home. Had to scrub him off. LOL
  9. Pretty sharp looking 6.2L Decals and Max Trailering decals: http://stores.ebay.com/GOOD-OL-BEARs-TRADING-POST/CHEVROLET-GMC-TRUCKS-/_i.html?_fsub=11&_sid=5931062&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
  10. Couple squares of self-stick Velcro would do the trick - and cheaply - without the possibility of a rare earth magnet doing damage to electronics........
  11. Seems like that could ruin the FOB's electronics........... I use one of these to separate everything from the ignition key - ever since owning a 2500 - although the krys dance around far less on the 1500's smooth ride........... And this gives me a way to leave it running and lock it to run into the Post Office to check the PO Box every morning etc.......
  12. Extang canvas arrived today via FedEx - easy install...............
  13. 2017's and on have no filler cap........... aka Capless fill..........
  14. Just a protective cover - does not block any vents...........
