  1. It still wanted a subscription. I guess time to sign up.
  2. This. I would get it taken care of before it damages to the point of a more serious cost to rebuild.
  3. This pretty much covers it. I understand you are on a fixed income but the cost to rebuild it is going to way less than finding another reliable vehicle I would think.
  4. Yeah, I brought up an old thread. We finally got a station here that has E15 and E85. I converted out 2016 Suburban and it runs so much better on E85 with the Black Bear Tune. Now on my 2019 Silverado with the 6.2. As for now, the cost to convert it is to expensive for the benefits. But I do mix E85 with 93. I can't go any higher than 10 gallons of E85 or I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. The Silverado runs way better. As stated in all the posts on here. To me the benefits are the main reason for using it. Now that it's 2024, the cost spread isn't what it used to be. The local rice burners that are tuned and boosted love it. We had one source to get E85 before a chain, Sheetz opened up. It was a pain to get to the pump. It was back on the side of the building and hard to get my large vehicles backed in to the pump. But the locals with the tuned imports said it tested on average E65 for the most part. I can say that our Suburban would get 22mpg on 93 and 19mpg on E85. This is with a fully load of 4 adults and all their stuff on a road trip up to visit my mom in PA. She lives in over by Pittsburgh and in the mountains. So I'm happy with the use of E85 and that little hit to mpg isn't a big deal for me. It might be to some, but pulling up the mountain pass and not having to worry about spark knock is nice. We do have ethanol free a around us. I would think it is due to being on the coast and boats everywhere. I do use it for all my lawn equipment and in our small boat.
  5. I need to be a subscriber. It wouldn't let me read the article otherwise.
  6. Sounds good. I would just get the filter bolts from the Dealer. Not like you do it often and at least you know you will get the correct ones.
  7. @johnnyquick are you doing a full fluid exchange or just a pan drop and filter change? Let me know and I can quote you the fluid with the GM-Truck’s discount.

  9. 6/11/2024 2016 Chevy Suburban 101,753 total miles 6,000 on oil OLM 15% AMSOIL ASM, 0w-20 Ea17 AMSOIL filter unit 297 test 11 .pdf
  10. Not sure if it was a fluke but the Sheetz in Fayetville had $2.09 on the sign when I drove by this morning. The new Sheetz that just opened has it for $2.99 and all the other stations are at $3.19.
  11. It is more so slippery than my old 2002 Silverado's Speedliner. It was more rubber like, where the factory seems to be more plastic like. Stuff does slide around more it seems.
  12. Where are you located? AMSOIL has distribution centers all over the US. If you live close to one and are a Preferred Customer you can call in to purchase product and go pick it up at one of the distribution centers. Otherwise like customboss stated, you can get it within 2-3 days. If you are within a 3 to 4 hour drive from one of the distrubution centers, you could get it next day. That is how my orders come in as long as I order it by 9am by phone. I can also get you a quote. PM or txt me your info, 910-290-2371
  13. I can get you an oil sample kit. PM me your information or txt 910-290-2371
  14. If you truly want a smooth riding experience. Find a place that will true your tires and rebalance them. Then you’ll never go back. The smoothest riding vehicle you’ll ever have. It’s a dying art not many places true tires anymore.
  15. No, if you drive in L10 it is the same as drive. DFM still activates as does auto stop.
  16. You didn't say how many miles are on your truck. So if you have not changed it out it would be a good idea to do so. AMSOIL's ATL low viscoity fluid is what you would use if you want to use AMSOIL. I can get you a quote if interested. Just let me know. The dealership here did an exchange on my truck for $139 and I provided the fluid. Some independent shops can do the same, just have to shop around if you don't want to do it yourself. The blue ATF in the picture is what you want to get, product code ATL. You can get a capacities list from here.
  17. Not here, 88 today, 90's the rest of the week with high humidity. Winter is a long way off for us.
  18. I've been wanting to get this. I like the way it is part of the rear view mirror mount so it doesn't look like you have a dash cam. So less likely to have a break-in. Just make sure to match up your specific mirror. I got the one with a rear camera. Now to figure out how to run it back there since I have a sun roof. Dash cam
  19. Mine is doing the same thing. When I go to the MyChevy app on the radio it shows I'm logged in. It isn't making sense. If I'm logged in, then why is it asking for my password?
  20. Doesn't stick out too far. Looks good.
  21. Good question. These seem to be the trucks that were put out during the pandemic. So did the supply chain get messed up with lesser quality parts? Odd that they are having issues like this at low mileage.
  22. You can us this one. I have used it in my 2002 Silverado for over 200,000 miles changing it when I got the truck new and then again at 100k and again at the next 100k. No issues. https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-severe-gear-75w-90-100-synthetic-gear-lube-svg/?zo=521390
  23. Fortunately that is the only options you have other than finding a narrower tire. I personally like a narrower/taller tire. Not a fan of the wide. Unfortunately they don't make them narrow and tall, just fat. I also went with Cognito UCA's because they looked to be the least of the bunch for interference. I'm running the factor ZR2 wheels now with 285/70-18 Toyo Open Country AT III's I have a 1/2" between the UCA and the tire.
  24. Yeah, you need a new offset wheel or spacers, which I'm not a fan of.
