    Glad you sold your 2010. I'm sure it went to a good home and the new owner has an awesome truck now.

    One shouldn't have any issues using AMSOIL. I have not heard of any and I'm curious to know if anyone that has an 8sp and has the shudder issue if they have tried using AMSOIL's ATL to see if it made any difference.

    You could try it. But for the amount of effort to get them off I would want something that would last a long time.

    There is another thread on here about this. If you have large hands it is really tight but they can be removed. I think there is 3 bolts holding each one on.

    The non Ecore PF 63 filters have the lower by-pass setting. GM went to the Ecore when they increased the by-pass to 22psi.

    05/10/19 2019 Silverado CC standard bed 6.2l 2 gallons of AMSOIL OE 0w-20 PF63E oil filter 3287 total miles 64% OLM Also changed out 3.2pints from transfer case and filled back up with AMSOIL ATL The new squeeze package makes it so much easier.

    Terry said it should be below 10. As you can see it has never gotten that low.

    The results are good. The oil did it's job well. The issue is the engine is beating it up. High nitration. Basically ring blow-by. I need to check my PCV. I have not done that in a while. Also, some how oxidation caused the oil to thicken. It basically became a 0w-30. I have never had good results with nitration ever since I purchased this truck since new. Got to wonder what is causing it? It is tuned with Black Bear and it sees nothing but Exxon 93 and some E85.

    04/06/2019 2002 Silverado CC standard bed 5.3l 6qts of AMSOIL ALM 5w-20 this time EaO30 oil filter 5,561 miles on oil 187,717 total miles 0% OLM Here is the UOA. The oil before this one was AMSOIL's ATM Signature Series 10w-30.

    You basically "tilt" the tab away so that it will release the mirror. It will make sense when you get to that point. Just take our time and do it in sunlight if you can so you can see well.

    Where did you get the screen protector?

    To me it is more about CAFE then anything. The fact that we have 8 qt sumps and the Camaro has 10qt sumps, they are compensating for the fuel dilution with a larger sump. As for shear. It depends on the oil used. I'm able to run 15k miles on our 2016 Suburban running AMSOIL's Signature Series 0w-20. Used oil analysis results say it is safe to that point. So for me it is more on CAFE than anything. I'm sure the engineers have factored it in on the design of the oil system since it is just more than a pump and a relief valve and is controlled by the ECM now to work with AFM and in some engines VVT.

    With the sensor in and the FF table enabled you can run what ever fuel you want and the system will adjust according to the amount of ethanol in the system. The reason for the sensor. So if you ran several tanks of 93 then it would adjust for that fuel. If you mixed then it would adjust for that. If you ran straight E85 then it would adjust for that and what BB set up the tune for to take advantage of the FF. Basically once you installed the sensor and let BB do their thing you can run what ever fuel you want and take advantage of it all. No worries.

    Replaced my DRL housings. They finally went south and started to collect water. Found Dorman for $15 each. Couldn't beat that so I got them and installed today. Looks much better.
  15. Black02Silverado
    Very much so. I get a big smile every time I get in to drive it.
  16. Black02Silverado
    $60 to see if it makes a difference? I think I would do the aluminum can and hose clamp thing first.
  17. Black02Silverado
    You guys are getting them quicker. I ordered mine the 31st of October 2018 and didn't get my truck until 28th of Jan.
  18. Black02Silverado
    I wish our 2016 Suburban had the E85 pigtail. No such luck. I would like to convert it.

    I'm no engineer but to me just having the open mesh would allow the exhaust pulse to change with the sound waves traveling through the pipe since it is open to the side making it quieter out the back of the pipe. I'm sure in time someone will remove and cut open to see inside. Then we will know.
  20. Black02Silverado
    A simple hack, not the greatest looking but the cheapest would be to cut open a beer can or soda can and cover the mesh screens up with that and two hose clamps. That should block off the screens enough to give you and idea of what the sound change would be I would think.

    Welcome! Your HD Metal Protector should be there today or tomorrow.

    Does it state that it doesn't have fuel stabilizer in it? To me that is a bad thing. I know AMSOIL added stabilizer to there Saber 2 cycle a few years back.
  23. Black02Silverado
    Yes I mix it all the time. No issues.
  24. Black02Silverado
    You can run it now even if you are not FF. My 2002 isn't and I run it with no problems. I don't get the performance benefit but I do get the clean burning as well as the higher octane. I usually run a 50/50 mix in the winter since it does tend to start harder at temps below 38°F. I have been running it now for 3 years with no issues.
  25. Black02Silverado
    Agree, but there is an advantage to running E85. It burns super clean. So carbon buildup is not an issue. Another one is the higher octane, and one other thing, at least for me. I like the smell of the exhaust. Yes, you get lower mpg that is a given. But depending on where you live and are lucky to have a ton of stations around with it. The cost can be worth the lesser mpg's if you calculate cost per mile. Like here the cost of E85 is a dollar less a gallon than 93, which I run since I'm tuned for it. So running E85 works out to be less expensive even though I'm filling up more often.
