  1. OK, that really helps. My 6.5’ bed HC sticker says 1,359 lbs., didnt see that small print. Subtract me and some stuff, gives me about 1150lbs. So based on Google for hardwood (1500-2000 lbs), I’m making 2 trips for the 1/2 cord. Problem solved, thanks.
  2. Thanks for the suggestion, but they do not give that information. I see GVWR etc but have no access to a scale to know empty weight.
  3. Excuse my stupidity, I have a 2016 High Country with 6.5’ bed. I want to pick up 1/2 CD wood which might be 1000-1500lb. Can the truck handle that?
  4. As a few of us were traveling, someone noticed a hose hanging down under my 2016HC. Stopping to check it out, there was no fluid dripping and not smell inside it. This is near rear differential just forward of the rear wheel. I just tied it up underneath so it wouldn’t interfere with the drive shaft spider to the diff. I lowered it again for this pic. Hose is like 1/4”. There was no performance issue for the rest (150mi). Anyone have an idea what this is? Tough to take pics underneath.
  5. I got my 2016 HC in 2019 with 35K miles. I was finally convinced by a trusted friend master mechanic to install a catch can with baffles, which I did. I empty it regularly, every 1000 miles in warm, 500 in winter to keep ice/condensation to a min. Truck now has 80K miles I did the valve clean procedure with Lucas GDI Valve cleaner spray. Disconnected the intake and shot the spray in past the MAF (which I disconnected also) Son kept the RPMs at 2K, shot spurts in for about 8 minutes til can empty. Never stalled or sputtered, heard slight increase in RPM with every squirt. Let it sit for 20 minutes per the directions, then put it all back together and drove. Didnt see a single puff of blue smoke. Had to reset the CEL, probably lit due to the disconnected MAF? Truck actually was running smoothly and still is, but was convinced to do the simple procedure for this GDI engine. Hope that indicates the catch can is doing it's job keeping crud off the valves.
  6. 2016 Silverado HC with sliding center panel on the back window. Having this replaced by Safelite, recommended by my local Chevy dealer who doesnt do glass work, Highly recommended from their past experience. Defroster failed and dealer says unit must be replaced. Questions is where is the connector for the sliding panel and defroster? I cannot seem to find how to fold down rear seat backs if it’s hidden there. Any info on how/where the electrical connectors might be?
  7. 2016 HC with sliding center section. Are these windows safety glass? If hit by a stray rock, would the glass spider-web or would there be shards all over the rear seats?
  8. Jim, thanks. Are you sure this wire runs through center console? I did have to repair the wire in there once for the wireless charging pad. Would you happen to know any other info like the color? I do not have a Service Manual. I greatly appreciate the info
  9. Thanks for this, I do have that RPO code A48 and have not had this done. I will look into this. Bob
  10. I have a 2016 HC with the sliding rear center window. The rear defogger (wires in the window) appear to be inoperative. The small light on the switch comes on when I push it and the fuse (#10 in the cluster under the hood) is intact. Any suggestions on further troubleshooting? Thanks,
  11. Had a smell of gas fumes recently, took to my trusted dealer. They dropped the tank and the fumes were coming from this rusted connector with several sensors attached. This is on the TOP of the tank. Replaced rusted shield and several other components. Total $3600 including 7hrs labor. Very disappointed in 2016 Silverado with only 74K miles.
  12. No, Onstar reporting was excellent.
  13. 2016HC 5.3. Installed Range AFM Disabler last week, seems to be working as truck stays in V8 Mode. However, I am getting diagnostic reports from the My Chevrolet app now for Engine & transmission, Antilock Brakes, Stabilitrak, Airbag system, and Emission system. There is no Check Engine light. As a Constable, when I am serving a summons, I install the Speed Turtle plug and never had a problem (also an ODB port dongle). Any thoughts? A random spur by the Range? Bob
  14. Just FYI, I also bought these FOBs and the programmer worked 100% https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FSNX41P?psc=1
  15. I have no relationship with this vendor. I ordered this replacement FOB for my 2016 HC. Amazingly simple, really under 5 minutes. New FOB works perfectly including the OEM remote start. No effect on my other FOB. Plug the programmer into OBD port and done in about 15 seconds. The packaging says good up to 2015, but replies on Amazon indicated it works for later years, I guess they never updated the packaging. $74 for new fob and programmer. Was so amazed, had to post it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078XJWCH7?psc=1
