ExYukon

I have a 2023 Silverado with the 6.2. It has 29K miles on it. In June, I noticed the coolant level in the overflow tank was a bit low, like a quarter or a third of an inch down. I topped it off then. Today it is again down about a quarter of an inch. I'm checking the level when the engine is cold, of course. Is that normal/OK? I once had a Subaru that also seemed to need semi-regular topping off, but I also noticed on that car, once the level in the tank was down about half an inch, it did not drop further. Should I leave me truck as-is for now and keep watching it, or top it off again?

One more data point....I got my inspection yesterday, it said the engine is OK. This is a 2023 Silverado 1500, manufactured in Dec. 2023. 28,000 miles, 12,000 towing a 7K pound travel trailer.

I just got a message on my center display today, saying there was a pending update. I think the number ended in 132. It said something about updating for the low oil pressure indication. Does that sound like what you got, 15 z71?

I am also glad to see it. However, I am disappointed in the scope of coverage. It is not a complete engine warranty, the only coverage is for the specific defects names in the recall. So if there is some other engine failure (e.g. lifter), this extended warranty will not help. I was hoping for extended coverage on the whole engine.

What it says to me is that they are giving everyone a free oil change, so sure, exchange the 0W20 for 0W40, but then save it for the future.

That sounds ugly. Did this happen on the fronts or rears or both? Do you have anything aftermarket like mud flaps or super-aggresive tire tread? Have you looked to see if all the factory fasteners are present on the liner? I have never driven my truck in significant snow so I have never been exposed to the conditions you encountered.

When I ordered my '23, I wanted Max Trailering, which wasn't available on the Denali, plus HUD, which wasn't available on the SLT or lower, and I didn't want the spray-in bed liner, which was standard on the High Country. So I went with an LTZ and am happy with that.

About that one-year countdown to zero on the OLM. I just bought an Equinox that has a manufacter date from last Fall. Based on the build date, It should be well under 50% left, but it's at 94%. So I guess they don't count down by date until it is sold. I'll be sure to change it before its birthday regardless of what the OLM says.

Good luck with the new truck. Please let us know what the yellow sticker on the door jamb shows for payload. My '23 Silverado 1500 Crew Short Bed 4x4 w/Max Trailering came in at 1826, but that's with the 6.2L.

I live in Colorado but have a wintertime gig in Texas. I got the cover from a dealer in Texas. I was back in Colorado when I identified the leaky slats. At that point I dealt directly with the Retrax corporate customer support people.

I have a Retrax Pro MX on my 2023 Silverado. I started with a Peragon but sent it back because it leaked badly and my (short) wife could not open it. The Retrax also leaked a lot, at the corners and along both sides. I put up with it for a while, then made a cell phone video from inside with the cover closed, showing leaks coming through between the slats. I sent that to Retrax customer support, and then sent a new cover (and canister) very quickly. The new one is better. I do get some leakage at the sides but not enough to worry about. There is also leakage at the corners. I have added some sealant to the front corners but haven't licked the problem. Another thing about the Retrax. I do sometimes use it partially opened. You should know that when the cover is locked in the fully closed position, the locking pins drop into a hole in the track. That's pretty secure. But when you lock it anywhere else, there is no hole, and it's possible to force the cover open by just pushing it. The cover won't open accidentally.

Does this apply to multiPro/Flex tailgates or just the traditional ones?

I have a 2023 with the 6.2 and Max Trailering. I would describe the shifts as "smooth". Smoother than my 2001 Toyota minivan or my 6.2L 2010 Yukon.

All I know is the Max Trailering option on the 1500s includes upgraded steel springs.

My 2023 Silverado 1500 crew cab short bed 4wd LTZ with NHT shows a payload of 1826 pounds and a tow rating of 13200 pounds. This truck was ordered without sunroof, bed liner or running boards to help with the payload.
