    I changed it this weekend.Very easy to do and now my gauge is right where it used to be. There were no trouble codes.You just get used to where the gauge "used to be" and I think my thermostat was stuck open.Mileage seemed to be off a tad too,but it's all back to normal now.Thanks.

    I have a 2018 Silverado with a 5.3.It has 104,000 miles and has been running well.I did have to put a transmission in it around 90,000. Anyways,I don't think my temperature gauge is as high as it should be. I'm thinking about changing the thermostat. A quick search shows them being sold with the whole housing.Why are they selling them like that.Can't you just buy a thermostat?And I prefer GM parts.Anyone have a part number?

    I have a 2018 Silverado with the 5.3.What is the latest on oil filters? I'm not seeing the PF63E oil filters around very much at the stores.Did they officially go back to a plain PF63? Okay to use that?

    I apologize if this has been covered before,but I have a 2018 Silverado with a backup camera in the tailgate handle and would like to add a backup camera on the back of my trailer.This leads to a few questions: 1)Wire or wireless? Any opinions? 2)As far as display,should I get a small monitor or can it be hooked up somehow with the screen for the tailgate camera? I see lots of options on Amazon at very reasonable prices,but has anyone done something like this that has feedback as to what is a good or bad setup? Thanks.

    I have a 2018 Silverado with the back up camera on the tail gate.I was thinking how nice it would be to have a back up camera on the license plate frame of my trailer.That way,I could see behind my trailer when I am using it.Does anybody know if it would be possible to buy a license plate backup camera and display what it shows instead of the tailgate camera when using the trailer? I am thinking that it "might" be possible, but I am not at all familar with this.Thanks.

    I have a 2018 Silverado with 42k.I had to replace the starter.LOTS of problems with starters in trucks of these years.

    My 2018 Silverado is out of warranty.The dealer said that the starters were on backorder,but I was able to locate one on my own.I asked for a quote on labor to install it,and my local Chevy dealer said they could do the job for $288. I thought that seemed rather expensive.Upon installing it myself,I found that you can easily get the old starter down in less than 10 minutes and be complete with the job in about 1/2 hour. So if you need a starter and are out of warranty,don't get ripped off by your local Chevy dealer. So far so good with the new starter.

    This sounds SO much like my problem.I have a 2018 Silverado with 42k.The problem generally happens when it is less than 25 degrees.If I keep trying to start it,it has always started.But sometimes it takes 6-7 turns of the key.It has been to the dealer twice,and it always works fine for them.They told me they have no ETA on a new starter.Kind of a joke really.I already had changed the battery a few months ago,thinking it was that.I keep checking this forum for this topic to explode.Most 2018 owners don't have 40k miles yet.But just wait!
