87 octane for $3.56 today. Diesel at one place hit $3.99 today too.

$3.69 for 87. $4.09 for Diesel. Same thing though, a few cities away or even into Wisconsin it's $5.00 a gallon still and they all get it from the same damn place.

They will fit with a spacer to clear but I know many people don't like that.

It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's. Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

$3.69 for 87 octane. $4.24 for Diesel in town.

$3.84 in town for 87 octane. Diesel swings wildly, it's $4.39 in town but saw prices of $5.00 still other places.

Can I ask if you are having issues with the current coils? With all of my years around LS engines, the stock coils are the best hands down. If they aren't giving you any problems, do no change them. They can go 200-300k miles easy without a hiccup.

$3.93 for 87 octane. $4.73 for 93 octane. $4.70ish for diesel. But a short drive can see prices swings as high as $5.30's still.

Sounds like a nice deal in the end.

Contact a different shop and get a quote. That dealership must have really really high hourly labor rates.

$4.07 for 87 octane. $4.78 for diesel. I've heard of a station with $1.99 E85 but it's 20min from me, too far out of my way.

Hmm

87 still around $4.25 a gallon. Diesel down to $5.19.

Went from $4.14ish to $4.60 today. Talk about a huge jump for one day.

Any fuel tax suspension is just stupid because they will complain about it in every single legislative session moving forward, saying we don't have as much money anymore. Then they will dream up new ways to tax you more while also asking for pay raises for themselves because it's a tough job and hard to make ends meet.

Rear diff is 75W90 synthetic. I believe the 80W90 was an earlier spec they no longer use, maybe for open diffs. Your truck has a G80 mechanical locker.

I have a dynomax cat-back on my truck, been on it for probably 7 years now. You can barely hear it on the freeway and when I tow my 20ft car trailer. This is on a 2016 Silverado though, newer trucks to me are quieter on the inside compared to mine.

Either have someone tune it with HP Tuners or just buy the Range plug in dongle thing for the AFM. Either option will work for you. I charge people like $150 to do it with HP Tuners if they are local, costs me $100 just to unlock the computer anyway.

Prices haven't changed all week here, still the same prices of around $4.25ish a gallon. Circle K gas stations yesterday did have a 3 hours fuel savings promotion thing going on from 4-7pm, they knocked 40 cents off a gallon. I had another 10 cents on the fuel card thing, so I topped off my tank for the hell of it.

$4.25 for 87. Diesel still around $5.60-5.80.

Usually the vent valve is on the front of the gas tank or right above it in the front of the tank on most chassis I believe. It's a small round one. Your picture is the whole charcoal canister. Your diff leak is the front pinion seal. Pretty common leak. Remove the driveshaft and there will be a large nut holding the diff yoke on. Probably a 30 something millimeter socket for that. Once the yoke is off you can remove the seal. Watching a youtube video would be helpful. I always mark the nut before removal so it goes back on pretty close to the exact spot to keep everything good. I even count the exposed threads to make sure it's the same. A good impact gun does the job for me. It's not exactly the correct way to do it but nobody does it by the book when just replacing the seal. The hose is the vent line for the transmission and probably the transfer case too.

It jumped to $4.09 from $3.89 on Tuesday, been holding steady there. Diesel went from $4.99 all the way to $5.75 in the same time frame.

Seems a bit high for dealer rate but every dealer has different labor rates. My local dealer uses a lower hourly rate for service work like brake jobs, some suspension and other odds and ends. It's like $50 less per hour compared to the regular shop rate which is over $200 now. Smaller independent and chain stores around me are less per hour labor rates. Ranging from around 150-190 a hour. So they will always be cheaper than a dealer. From what I see and being in the parts business I hear brake jobs are ranging from $500-700 for trucks now. For a rough example, a local shop is buying the higher end rotors and pads for about $150-200 total, then you double it for re-sale, plus the labor. This is non-dealer parts I'm talking about.

No programming is needed. I've removed the throttle body tons of times on these trucks. I clean it and re-install without any problems. I just don't open and close the throttle blade a whole bunch of times. Spray it with cleaner and use a soft brush or rag to clean the surface, brake clean it off and back on the truck it goes.
