  2. I ran them on my 2007.5 - They do come with the adapters - just pick the one for GM - I have emailed PIAA to confirm 2017 fitment........
  3. See the PIAA application guide at the bottom of the PIAA page linked above.........
  4. Hard to beat the SILICONE RUBBER in the PIAA brand blades........ #97055 (22")............. Easily found on eBay and Amazon............ A set has lasted 3 years on my rigs - you get what you pay for......... http://www.piaa.com/siliconewiperblades?gclid=CJeLqaigkNICFUiDfgodamsKSA And I do run Rain-X wiper fluid..........
  5. Have them painted on - just say no to decals and tape........
  6. Depends - Had it before on some rigs and it would take at least an hour and a drive across town. So no real time savings. This dealership is a nice new facility with a dedicated lube area - so it may be fine. Although like any busy big dealership the cars and trucks are packed on the lot and always rigs in motion. Leaving the possibility for mishap. Had another dealership's dedicated quick lube do the Duramax for a year. Then when I went to do my first oil change, it was plain to see they did not get at the hard to reach zerks (there are 11 zerks on a 2500's front suspension). And the transfer case was low - never checked - these trucks are known for vanishing transfer case fluid. Time wise does take longer at home true, dealing with no lift. But I am not about over maintaining it to the decades old 3 month or 3,000 mile mantra. To convince myself it was OK to let the OLM tell you when to change oil, I ran the Duramax 10,000 miles in 10 months until the OLM said to change it, and had the oil tested and it was fine. After that I always went either 1 year or when the OLM said to. The diesel truck got me looking into the quality of oil filters too - returned a bunch of Fram I had just bought for other rigs after that. And those of you using AC Delco filters look into it - clearly not the best either micron wise....... I use Mobil 1 filters or K & N.
  7. Mobil 1 0W/20 can be had at WalMart - or I always watch for the oil + filter specials at AutoZone - just picked up the same oil for the 2015 Subaru Outback yesterday. $33.99 for the 5qt jug and M1 filter............ Oil is oil............ But when it comes to these thin 0W/20 fuel saving oils........... Mobil 1 helps me sleep at night....... https://mobiloil.com/en/motor-oils/mobil-1/mobil-1-advanced-fuel-economy Already asked the dealership if they use the "synthetic blend" or "full synthetic" Dexos1 and they said full synthetic.......... Because I have free oil changes for life on the Silverado 6.2L on order. But doubt I will want to have them do what I can do just as easy and not have it on the crowded lot and in the hands of others.......... We'll see...........
  8. Have a Leer 700 going on 10 years now - looks great - very weather tight - sucks when you want to haul something. I have never taken it off - how could you without 4 strong men and a boy or a crane. Managed to haul washer and dryer 150 miles (on the tail gate) - Couch (on the tail gate) - Yard branches and brush (a pain) - V-8 engine (cherry picker) - U get the idea......... A queen bed and box spring - forget it with the cover on. Had it listed on Craigslist recently no luck - decided to buy a new truck - that will get rid of it. Bro has that BakFlip or something like it that rests against the cab when folded - Really!? Non starter there........ That Tyger looks like a cheaper version of the better cloth canvas Extang's Trifecta Tri-Fold Tonneau. The Extang is what I have my eye on next - Only weighs 35# - easily removed - or folded flat behind cab. A buddy always gets that one on his new rigs...... Heck I am thinking the new factory spray-on bed-liner with Chevy logo on the front panel will be worth showing off - So want a cover I can have off most of the time. http://www.extang.com/trifecta-signature-pickup-truck-soft-tri-fold-tonneau-covers.html Also have seen that DiamondBack on a truck in real life - Tough looking - seriously considering it too - there again not that easily removed........... Look what you can haul on top of it! http://www.diamondbackcovers.com/hd/
