  1. The manual states to use full synthetic oil meeting the Dexos 1 specification. I’m pretty sure everyone posting in this thread is following that.
  2. You could probably test it prior to installation by just hooking up to a battery.
  3. I don’t check mine at the gas station unless I’m on a long highway trip. It’s not shut down long enough there plus these days you want to be heads up to what’s going on around you when at a gas station. I check it in the garage first thing in the morning to try to get fairly consistent measurements.
  4. Not in my case. I change my own oil and check the level about every other gas tank fill.
  5. I bought the kit with my 2021 but haven’t installed it. The wiring diagram shows the switches as plain lighted switches controlling relays, but with the switch supply voltage only on when the ignition switch is in the run position. If you leave a switch on at shutdown the relay will open (shut off power). However, the relay will close again when you start up the truck.
  6. I would suggest inspecting all of the main connections of the battery negative to the body. In 2020 and 2021 there were reports of a number of different odd behaviors that were traced to power interruptions caused by loose negative connections due to failure to torque them properly at the factory.
  7. Please post if you find out how to get that done. It was previously discussed as a possibility but nobody posted a way to actually do it. Thanks. The one concern I can see about resetting the alarm point lower is that the alarm point is too low if you actually are fully loaded and therefore need to run at the max pressure. If I was carrying 4000 lbs in the bed at highway speeds for a long run I’d want the alarm point where it is.
  8. I have a 2021 3500 cclb srw gas with 18” wheels and original stock Michelin tires, so the recommended rear tire pressure at full load is 80 psi. The rear TPMS alarm is at 62 psi. I run at 63 psi in the rears even when I have my light pop up truck camper installed (1800 lbs wet and loaded, 1700 of which is on the rear axle). I run 57 cold in the front. With the camper installed my front and rear axle weights are about equal. My payload rating is 4054 lbs, so with the camper I’m at about 50% of payload. I’d run the rear at 55-57 unloaded if the TPMS warning didn’t go off. My tire wear seems pretty even so far at 11,000 miles.
  9. If you have 18 or 20 inch wheels you have this steel wheel for your spare.
  10. I would suggest a 3M VHB tape product might be better than glue. There are several widths and thicknesses. You’d probably want a very thin one if the lifting emblem lays back down nicely.
  11. I don’t know what that connector is, but the way I have seen people add a connector at the front of the bed is to buy the Curt 56000 harness for long beds, which plugs into the trailer harness at the rear, and run it forward to the new connector location. You need to connect downstream of the trailer module that is next to the spare tire. I don’t think there is a connector up forward that you can tie into and have everything function properly.
  12. No idea here, but check you wheel lugs to make sure they are tight if you haven’t already.
  13. Sounds like it’s receiving the signal but is not starting because some control logic is preventing it. You may have already reviewed your manual, but the 2021 manual says: The vehicle cannot be remote started if: . The RKE transmitter is inside the vehicle or if the key is in the ignition. . The hood is not closed. . There is an emission control system malfunction and the lamp is on. . The ignition is in any mode other than off. . The hazard warning flashers are on. . Two remote starts or a remote start with an extension have been used. . The vehicle is not in P (Park). Maybe the system sets codes your or the dealer can read?
  14. Sounds like maybe you need to confirm your torsion keys are at the factory intended height. Maybe you are running into the stops because someone changed the adjustment.
  15. I have not noticed this in my 2021 long bed but have not put a straight edge on it either.
  16. “On these new trucks …”. There’s nothing about these new trucks that would prevent getting the wheel centered. That’s just someone trying to cover for their being unwilling to spend the time to do the job right.
  17. Try to find out how long they’ve had it. Look carefully at the stickers on it and on their web page and other ads and you should be able to find out. If they’ve had it more than a week then numerous people have seen their ads and are passing on it at that price. Priced right it would go in days. With order wait times back down to about 3 months, that dealer is pushing it and just hoping to get an impatient customer. That’s one approach to car sales, and it might work for them here, but with interest rates so high they need to move stuff. I think that is one of the less popular colors, as well. Your $75k would not be an insulting offer, although they might act like it is. Make the offer you think is fair (I have no idea what’s fair because I haven’t done the research, but new msrp plus isn’t fair in the current market). When they initially say no just give them your phone number and walk out. They’ll call you back within a few days if it hasn’t sold. If it does sell, be glad your weren’t the one who paid over new msrp for a used truck.
  18. Yeah, the hardest part is filling it with new oil. It takes a ladder and a long funnel with an angled tube at the end.
  19. I have a 2021 GMC 3500 hd SLT with buckets/“leather” and center console. When I push the floor air button and turn the fan all the way up the fan is fairly noisy but not really more than it is when going full blast in other configurations. A good amount of air is blowing in the footwells, but air is also blowing at a moderate level from the defroster vents. The ducting split between the floor and the windshield may be the reason for the noise you are hearing.
  20. Grade braking seems to be off when descending in range select mode (“L”) in my 2021 3500 HD gas.
  21. Contest the credit card charges if it’s not too late. Also, doesn’t Amazon have support for dealing with problems with sellers?
  22. He hasn’t signed into the site in ten months, but he wrote he was going to plug the vent tube.
