    You haven't been off roading and hit a rock with that stock steel rear diff cover then. Seen several people who did and peeled it back enough to lose all the diff fluid. It's more to slide over stuff than protect from damage to the diff housing itself since it's cast iron. The big "ears" for bracing to the axle tubes are what will snag as well as the steel diff cover that hangs down below the diff housing. I ended up putting an AFE aluminum diff cover on which doesn't hang below the diff in the center.

    At least it was hopefully a relay. On my 2008 Avalanche I had a weird issue where the rear doors would lock, but not unlock via the power lock switch or remote. Turns out the unlock for the rear doors ONLY was BUILT INTO THE FUSE BLOCK on the end of the dash! I had to buy a whole new fuse block to fix the issue. Luckily it was cheap used.

    You don't list where you live, but there's known issues with the ground strap behind the passenger side fender well liner. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/02/some-chevy-silverado-1500-units-need-a-new-body-to-chassis-ground-strap/

    I have a Custom trim so I just have black rubber. I want to add the gloss black metal trim like the factory high trims. People with the chrome factory trim have done either vinyl or peel coat stuff.

    This is the only full outer trim covers I've seen in black: https://www.ebay.com/itm/397248020680 This is the crap I bought saying it was black stainless but the pictures in the listing I bought didn't show them flexing like this one so you KNOW they are plastic. https://ebay.us/m/xwjmbK

    From what I've read, 3.73s are the highest you can go with the front diff. This guy just put them in his truck: https://www.trailboss.org/threads/long-travel-wide-body-build.3892/page-5#post-37321

    The plastic "steel" ones I finally got the seller to refund me my money. They weren't happy but it was all of $14 shipped.

    I haven't been able to find the GM part numbers for the Denali or High Country trims that have the gloss black trim from the factory. I did see a kit on ebay that appeared to be a metal formed and stick on. The panels between the two doors are all plastic. I bought one that said it was black steel and I received it and it arrived as plastic. I was not happy.

    Why'd you buy another scanner if you already have one?
  10. GETGONE
    I reported it as spam last night when I got the notification. On the actual topic, I ordered a Mucar 892BT scanner and waiting for it to get here. It and the Thinkcar that's the essentially the same model, both made by the same company have gotten great reviews. Got a good deal off ebay plus there was an ebay motors coupon off so getting it for $482.35 shipped. It has lifetime updates so no subscription crap like the TOPDON bluetooth dongle I had purchased. It can still be used as a scanner but to do any actual diagnostics I have to purchase a new one year subscription.

    Yeah, nice cheap improvement over stock plastic. The AEM ZR2 won't work because the bumper is different and won't mate up to the standard bumper. I added a couple brackets at the very front since there's nothing but the two side pieces to support it. If you catch something with the very front edge, it can bend down. I pulled it off when I was having the 6.2 recall done and then it got cold and snowy. I bought some red acrylic to put behind the RC cutout in the front plate. That way it will keep crap from getting in there and be a little showy with the red. I'm also going to bedline it as the stock powder coat scratches pretty easily.

    Or get the Rough Country steel ones that replace the plastic front piece and aluminum bottom piece for under $200.

    I bought the RC front skid 5 months ago. Much beefier than the plastic front piece and the bottom aluminum on the Z71 plate. I bought some 90 degree brackets and drilled holes in the front to bolt the front edge to the lower bumper bracket. That way there's something bolted farther forward than the mid plate bolts of the RC and stock one.

    Your truck is not a TV.

    I think if you run less than 1.5" spacers you may have to grind down the end of the stock wheel studs. The stock wheels should have recesses in them that will allow some of the stock stud to stick through. I run 2" spacers on my stock wheels in the winter to match the width of my summer 20x10 -15mm offset wheels. They stick out just slightly past the fenders but I have Rough Country SF1 fender flares they sit close to flush with. This is on a 2021 Silverado Trail Boss.

    Even if you find them, it's not going to do you any good as you also need the top plate which is riveted in place. Only other option is to drill a hole in the existing metal plate and then run a fuse of whatever kind there and bolt it to the plate. I have a winch I'm going to be installing and have been trying to figure out how to wire it and include a 500 amp circuit breaker.

    Good deal! I forgot to come back to this post. I uninstalled my bypass resistors when I took the truck in for the 6.2 engine recall so they couldn't claim there were issues I caused. I looked at the Boost Auto instructions when I made new resistor harnesses and found they make their setup the opposite of what I thought. On theirs they say the blue ring toward whatever side. I assumed they were using the ring on the diode to match up with the blue shrink wrap ring they put on the resistor. It's not, it's on the OPPOSITE end. I had built mine with a blue shrink wrap ring on the same end as the diode ring. When I installed them they didn't work as expected. Luckily with the T taps I used I could just unplug and swap ends and then everything worked as expected. Turns out I didn't remove the fog light wire in the brown BCM plug. I just left it there and T tapped it to the parking light wire. Doing this also keeps your fogs on when your high beams are on, unlike factory, where it turns the fogs off when high beams are on.

    Is Mobil 1 Supercar 0W-40 motor oil the same as Mobil 1 0W-40? Mobil 1 Supercar 0W-40 advanced synthetic motor oil is the result of almost 24 months of grueling tests and precise engineering. While the viscosity is identical, the formulation of Mobil 1 Supercar 0W-40 motor oil is specifically designed to guarantee it meets the strict dexosR-spec required for all fourth-generation and later Corvette models. So if all the rest of the 0W40 Mobil 1 variants ALSO meet Dexos R spec, then you can use any of them. HOWEVER in Amsoil's case, ONLY their Signature series 0W40 meets Dexos R spec. They offer OTHER 0W40's but they don't meet Dexos R spec per the data sheets on Amsoil's site.
  19. GETGONE
    I specifically stated that the European formula doesn't show Dexos R on the bottle, so I don't know if that's just because they haven't updated the labels yet or what's out there is older stock before being Dexos R approved. Either way the website shows it's approved.
  20. GETGONE
    Which is exactly what I posted and linked from Mobil 1's site. They also list 5W50 weight in SuperCar, which is new from when I had last looked at it.
  21. GETGONE
    I posted the website with the information SHOWING ALL versions of 0W40 ARE INDEED Dexos R spec approved. You STILL doubted it.
  22. GETGONE
    That ONLY applies to their SIGNATURE Series 0W40 oil. The OE and European Amsoil formulas DO NOT meet those specifications PER THE DATA SHEETS. Amsoil Signature Series 0W40: 0W-40 (AZF): API SP, SN PLUS, SN…; Chrysler MS-A0921, MS-12633, MS-10725, MS-10850; Nissan GT-R; GM dexos R Amsoil European 0W40: 0W-40 (EFO): API SN, SM…; ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4; BMW LL-01; MB 229.1, 229.3, 229.5; Porsche A40; Renault 0700, 0710; VW 502.00, 505.00 Amsoil OE 0W40: 0W-40 (OEG): API SP, SN PLUS, SM

    Why is it you can NEVER read ANYTHING I post correctly? This chart shows ALL Mobil 1 brand name 0W40's as being Dexos R spec. Supercar, of course, but ALSO FS(Full Synthetic), ESP X4 0W40(which is the branding on the European formula), and straight Mobil 1.
  24. GETGONE
    The 0W40 is new Dex OS R spec in SuperCar oil and their website states all grades of 0W40 meet Dex OS R. 0W20 and other grades were for the old Dexos 1 spec. Which one does Amsoil meet?
  25. GETGONE
    According to Mobil 1's website all 0W40 are Dex OS R certified. The bottles in stores still don't list it on the packages though. https://www.gmdexos.com/brands/dexosr/index.html
