    We have had the best results using Schaeffer's #274 3% Moly grease in all applications including wheel bearings. There's cheaper #2 grease out there but grease and oil are always cheap in the grand scheme of things! The Blue/pink dots indicate a fastener/bolt/nut has been properly "torqued" to spec.

    It certainly doesn’t stop any vandalism or contamination by being able to add something into the fuel system other than gasoline! With a locking cap it adds another level of security and prevention!

    I guess it depends on your local climate but in the sweltering heat of Florida, where it’s above 90 ten months of the year, it DEFINITELY causes premature failure and shortened fuel pump life as the gas in the tank constantly recirculating helps cool the fuel pump motor. You pays your money and you takes your chances!!! A fill-up at half tank or slightly less is cheap insurance and is a simple insurance especially considering gas is less than $2 a gallon.

    Hopefully supply will overtake demand soon!

    Everyone doing ANY towing should seriously consider doing the 6L90 Thermal Bypass mod. Super simple and there is even a kit if you don’t want to tap and plug your thermostat housing. Made by Superior Transmission Parts Inc - part #STL010. Take a look at the post on this forum: “6L80E thermostat delete sure-cool cooler kit”.

    Part number 8484536 doesn’t show up when doing an online search? Is this the correct number please? Thanks??

    If you are in a warm climate I would enthusiastically recommend the transmission thermostat bypass modification. It is well documented on YouTube and is very simple to do if you are mechanically inclined. It provides for full time flow to the transmission cooler and eliminates the bypass.

    I know better than most that a lock is for an honest man but nevertheless it is still a deterrent. This is ridiculous, in these times, not to have any security for the fuel system on a vehicle that costs $80K!!! Using your logic no one would lock their home, business or vehicle. I assume you have locks on your home and also utilize them?

    On every vehicle I have ever owned or maintained, I have installed a locking gas cap to eliminate theft, contamination and vandalism. I have no idea what the GM brain trust was thinking when they designed the fuel filler on these trucks??? Open the gas door and there is no way to secure the fuel filler opening. Does anyone make a replacement neck that will acccept a screw-on cap so that a locking model may be installed to secure the filler port? Is there a kit to allow installation of a locking gas cap on the factory fuel filler? All suggestions welcomed - Thanks. A problem eliminated is a problem solved!!!

    GMPARTSWAREHOUSE.COM had them listed at $497.25 but I have no idea if they have any in stock.

    You should get to keep the stock black arch moldings. I know I found the Summit White online for $500 (+/-) with free freight from several GM dealers.
