Want to drain and fill my coolant, wondering how much the radiator holds? I know specs say the cooling system is 16.6 quarts, but how much will come out of a drain so I have enough on hand? Also, I am assuming DexCool from dealer is concentrate and not pre mixed right? How do you guys mix to ensure 50/50? Do you mix into a spare bottle or something first? Thanks!

Thanks guys, maybe I’ll get a couple quart ones to do the transfer case and keep the gallon for trans fill. hopefully the pumps screw into AC Delco quarts... lol

I bought a gallon of Dexron VI from amazon because of price. Was going to do my transfer case and noticed the gallon pump I have is too small for it. The jig has a huge lid! Anyone know a pump that works on these?

Just saw this, reminded me of how I did my phone mount a couple years ago, still love the location and works great.

thanks, but damn he had to jack up the trans and pull on exhaust!?? That sucks... wonder if my ‘17 has more clearance than his ‘14 did..?

I’ve read so many threads and seen a lot of methods but would appreciate some input please. 2017, 5.3, 6 speed Z71 do I need to drop exhaust to drop pan or not? Crawled under and took pics it looks like there is clearance... regarding aftermarket pan with drain plug on these, any adverse issues? Like the controversial rear diff covers? thank you all!

Thanks guys. I had seen some people mention blue thread locker but wasn’t sure. do you actually torque or just hand right snug

Planning on changing out fluid in my front and rear diffs. Should I put anything on the threads of the plugs when going back in? thank you.

Part number 23396110 overhead console out of 2017 LT pulled out of my truck at like 400 miles to replace with one with homelink buttons. $100 shipped!

What am I missing, is amsoil bad for mowers or something?

Thanks @Grumpy Bear I appreciate your input! is the AC Delco a bad fluid to put back in, or is it better than the factory stuff? my trans temp is usually 184-194 When I look. Would you do just pan drop drain and fills? Thanks!

It’s the dry cone filter from the GM performance intake. I just thought I remember reading somewhere that they shouldn’t be cleaned and replaced instead... I’ve actually never cleaned one, soapy water you say?

I hear ya on the bad reputation. I was a technician for Toyota for several years until 2004 had to quit for medical reasons. So I’m capable and familiar and still have my tools. Just been out of game so long I like to confirm proper procedures. Especially as I want this to be the last vehicle I buy

Thank you for the explanations!

Thank you! i read in several places that GM recommends NOT flushing this trans, is that false? never thought of induction service on this, what’s involved there? brake fluid... like flush the system?
