  1. Yes, I'm sure it is the unit. It is now removed and ready to be returned.
  2. Most commonly around 62-64 MPH or so. It has done it as high as 75 MPH. It seems to do it when I would assume the DFM would kick in, like straight or slightly downhill areas. I heard back from Range and they admitted it was a problem on certain, early 6.2s with the 10 speed. It has something to do with the early TCM programming. Feels to me like it's the torque converter locking and unlocking. Going to return it for refund, hopefully.
  3. Ok, so I have a 2021 Silverado with the L87 6.2 and 10 Speed with about 48K miles on it right now. At 9K it had the right bank of lifters and pushrods replaced, then a few months ago, an actuator for one of the valves on cylinder #8, can't remember which one. Hoping to avoid more of this, I ordered the Range Technology disabler RA003B. After running this a bit, I noticed that it surges when cruising. I have emailed Range about it and will call them tomorrow, but was wondering if there is a device that actually works well? I do have a very good extended warranty that I don't want to void as well. Thanks in advance for any advice!
  4. I'm trying to update the "DRIVES:" portion of my profile since I no longer have a 2016 Suburban but when I do and click save, I get an Error 404. What am I missing? Thanks!
  5. As has been mentioned, most rental trailers have surge brakes so you don't need to worry about electronic brake controller. For backing a trailer, I was taught to put my hand on the bottom of the steering wheel and which ever way you want the trailer to go, move your hand that way. Go slow and keep your eyes on the mirrors. When driving, keep more space between you and the vehicle in front of you than normal as your braking distance is now quite longer.
  6. It will work fine with Android 12.
  7. A few months ago my truck went into the shop to have half of the lifters replaced (not all, but that's another stupid GM idea) and while it was there they did an update to the radio/infotainment system. After that, the backup lines on the screen are very thin and very hard to see. Both the double backup lines and the single, trailer-hookup line. Today my truck was back in the shop to try to fix a no-start issue and I asked them to relook at the backup camera system as well. According to the Tech and GM Technical Assistance, the new lines are normal. Anyone else dealt with that? Is there a way to un-update the system? The new lines are almost useless. Really missing my Tundra these days.
  8. U-Haul car trailers are usually set up well for securing the vehicle. I recommend checking it about 5-10 miles down the road after first loading it, then every fuel stop after that. On those descents, familiarize yourself with manually shifting your transmission. Use lower gears to maintain safe speed as much as possible going downhill. This will save your brakes. Best advice is just don't get in a hurry and don't forget what's behind you when changing lanes, turning, etc. Good luck!
  9. There are only two kinds of sunroofs. Those that leak, and those that are going to leak.
  10. When you get into towing bigger and heavier trailers, it isn't so much about the drivetrain as it is brakes, tires and suspension and being able to control and stop the trailer. It might help if we knew what weight you were looking to pull and what truck you have. I've been pulling a 26" box trailer that weighs around 7K loaded and doing pretty well so far with my 2021 RST/Z71 with the 6.2 and 10 speed. It can get sporty in the wind, however but I do use sway control and a good weight distribution hitch.
  11. Uh, I'm not the OP on this thread. OP had two, this one and here.
  12. Ya just have to love these. "Hey I cut my exhaust off and now it's too loud, what should I do?" And let's start extra threads on the same topic so I can get more attention, too! SMH.
  13. A picture of what you're talking about might help.
  14. Got the truck back. GM would only replace 8 lifters on bank 2. Not too happy about that but we'll see what happens.
  15. Heard from the shop after dropping it off. Getting 16 new lifters in it. Hopefully to be done by this Friday. Fingers crossed.
