  1. Agreed. The only way to ensure a job well done is by doing it yourself. After the dealer touches my truck I go over it myself at home. Twice I've had a loose oil filter after the dealership did an oil change.
  2. This really sucks! I'd be pissed off. I'm sure insurance will do its part to screw you over, too. I considered buying the 3.0 Duramax over the 6.2. This is me, in part, relieved that I didn't. I'm sorry to see this happened to anybody. Please keep us updated on what happens.
  3. I went and checked. I didn't know I had those options in there. I've had my truck for almost 3 years. The "favorites" buttons are, as I understood them, just a channel up/down button for the pre-selected stations. I learned something new today. Thanks.
  4. 28 gallon diesel + 5 gallon DEF = more than 33 gallons for a gas tank.
  5. As soon as I need new tires for my Trail Boss I'm going bigger. 285/75/18 to be specific. Duratracs are available in this size, have a total diameter of 35.1", and weigh 60 lbs. ReadyLift says this size tire is the biggest that be done with the 2" kit without trimming. Reading up on the kit, it only raises the rear 1". I have not found another kit that does 2" front and rear. I not a fan of the leveled look and prefer the OE rake. Doing research on how to raise the rear 2" I looked into the leaf springs and found Deaver Springs has a set (M27) that'll raise the Trail Boss/AT4 1". Has anybody combined the ReadyLift kit with the Deaver Springs yet? If so, what were the results like in your experience? Is this even doable in practice, as opposed to theory?

  6. Thank you for the info
  7. That's not a secondary spout for fuel. If you had the 3.0 Duramax it's where you pour in the DEF.
  8. I'm confused on the favorites switch. Is there a 3rd switch I never noticed before? I thought there were only 2 -- channel up/channel down.
  9. Find said recall. Present said recall to service writer.
  10. Check for obstruction in filler hose. If no obstruction then possible evap purge issues?
  11. I use to work for a rental car company that had a rental counter inside a Chevy dealership. If the dealer didn't have a loaner for warranty repair the service wrote would walk with the customer to my rental counter and I would bill the dealership and required to supply a GM vehicle. I'm now in a different city and state, and no longer in that industry. I've taken my truck to a dealership for warranty and been told no warranty until the dealership performs the diagnosis. Getting the diagnosis could take weeks due to backlog and not enough techs. This dealership has also told me they won't provide a rental if they are out of loaners. I have since started having my truck serviced at another dealership a few miles away from the one with a backlog and no loaners. I get quick service and they have an Enterprise across the street. I recommend finding another dealer to have your beehives serviced at.
  12. It's starting to look more like my truck, lol (see profile pic). Mine are white light combo. What switch are you using to turn them on/off? Mine are using the GM Upfitter switches.
  13. Roger that. I can wait.
  14. I went with GM Accessories. They've held up well for the last 3 years. It's just a preference thing, and I have nothing against aftermarket versions. All the aftermarket versions I've seen on the road look like they're of sufficient quality.
  15. Thank you for that info. That made it a lot easier. I don't use remote start 99.9% of the time. Kids take too long to load into the truck, and I hate wasting the gas/money.
  16. Didn't take pics, but should've (I'm sorry, please forgive me). Installed Valhalla Offroad molle panels on both sides of the bed with two 1.75 Rotopax gallon gas cans drivers side behind the wheel well and two 1.75 gallon water cans in the same location on the passenger side. I have a short bed. If you have a standard bed you might be able to use larger Rotopax gas/water cans. 2 gallon cans were just a little too big for the space I wanted them in. I also installed a 10# fire extinguisher forward of the water cans. Open space on drivers side is going to get an ARB air compressor later on. Btw, I have all of this working with a Retrax tonneau and the GM Accessories sport bar.
  17. Having taken measurements myself, the S8 lightbar is about 3/4" taller than the opening in the bracket from Rough Country. However, it also appears the Baja Designs light bar will sit back behind the bracket and not make contact. I don't think there will be any loss of light because the bezel on the light is of good thickness that the lights fill the gap whereas the bezel will be hidden behind the bracket. I only want the amber lights on when the truck is on, and off when the truck is off. The ignition is the only switch I want for that.
  18. Nope. Just looking into right now. Finishing up other projects right now. Moving from Southern California to Florida this summer and don't want things getting lost or damaged in the move.
  19. Do you have a link for the FabFours winch plate? This is diverting I've always been interested in doing in my 2020 Trail Boss. Now that my warranty is getting ready to expire, and I'm running out of things to do that won't affect the warranty, this is getting close to the top of list. I've been considering having a shop fabricate a winch mount. Your method might be a cheaper and easier direction to go.
  20. 2 inches+, according to Readylift
  21. Seen the message before. Been able to drive faster than the message after checking the brake feel and knowing they stop the truck. Had no issues, and never went to the dealer for repair. I think there's an occasional electrical gremlin running through the truck. When it happens it's usually at startup. Electrical gremlins suck.
  22. Not enough info on your end to help
