    I empty mine about every 7500 miles when I do my oil change. it's always about 1/2 to 3/4 full.

    I would have to check on that for sure, but of the top of my head I do believe they are the same.

    Looks like clear coat. Remove it, sand it, reclear and polish. Will probably be a challenge to get it to look right.

    It’s all a matter of perspective I guess. Adding it in theory is possible but not even realistic as mentioned. I have a Sierra that is premium plus, and the parking sensors and blind spot are well worth it in Houston. The rear cross traffic alert helped one time when a “wayward” child ran behind my truck backing out at Home Depot due to inattentive parents(don’t even get me started on that).

    It’s an easy install and well made.

    So what happens when you try it? That would be the only way you would find out. I've never tried it on mine; but yes the switch stays active so you can disable it if you wish. My guess is it would do the same relative to reactivation.

    Go over to settings, then info page options. From here, you can deselect engine hours. Hope this is what you were looking for.

    Thanks. I tried to reel it back in and keep it informative, but no luck.

    At that weight, it's personal preference. You will be light enough that you do not need to use it. Try it; if it feels more comfortable to you, then go with it. An oversimplification, but essentially what happens is your line pressure is increased to the transmission, engine mapping/throttle is relaxed, and up shifts are longer(allows more rpm, and will hold a gear longer). Downshifts are quicker and more noticeable to increase engine braking.

    No grease fittings. I can look up the torque tomorrow, but what you did is fine. A common squeak point is where the leafs actually stack and the pads between them.
  11. chadman
    There has been an issue with some leaf bolts not up to torque specs, and needing to be tightened. I would check that first. If not, some white lithium grease will help you isolate where it may be coming from.

    I have this one and it works well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2WBWJ8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I’ve never seen a cap, but there is a 1.5 inch shorty on amazon.

    I had the same problem on my F150. Bilstein 4600’s fixed it. Can’t wait until they have the 4600’s for the new Sierra. Hate that feeling.

    This was a topic on results from my catch can, and invite others to share theirs. There are other threads dealing with pros, cons, and right or wrong. If y'all want to talk about that, cool. Go have your "who's is bigger" contest in the appropriate thread please.

    I have the JLT and this is what I got after 4,000 miles...about half full. Also the range DFM works well with the 5.3 and 8 speed.

    I installed mine on my 2020 Sierra 5.3 at about 1,500 miles. At 5,500 miles I decided to check it. So after 4,000 miles this is what I found; about half full which seemed to be 2 to 3 ounces. That’s a fair amount of oil and it’s even more important to catch it on DI engines.

    Interesting. They can usually be cleaned out through the drain hole. Would have to be something misassembled or misaligned with it being so new. Dash tear downs usually leave you with squeaks and rattles. Good luck.

    As mentioned, it is going to be ass expensive. Don't even think about it while it's under warranty. There is no way you can ever erase the tracks either; dealers will know. I bought the range to disable DFM and ASS. That's as far as I am going.

    I work in the auto repair business, and I recall seeing a bulletin on it.
  23. chadman
    Does it do it in 4wd also? Sounds like you are describing chatter. There is a software update available for the 10 speed that may help.
  24. chadman
    I don’t know, but my guess is that it has something to do with the tailights, rear camera, or possibly the flat side of the bed missing. You could check with the dealer and see if it is possible to program it with the info from a stakebed VIN.

    I though mine was just a one off issue, but it isn't. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't; about 50/50 right now. And at times, the light on my park assist button will go crazy for about 10 seconds flashing in a random pattern. Think it might be a loose connection somewhere. Dreading taking it in. Guess I need to because I got the code for the famous brake malfunction at 500 miles. Not quite 4,000 yet.
