Have you spilt anything on the console during ownership? Water, coffee, soda, juice, etc.? GM has been seeing contaminated console shift controls causing all sorts of issues. Requires replacing the shift control. -
If it's something they cannot figure out they can contact GM. They have a case open for noise in the suspension and my whistling drivers mirror they cant figure out how to fix. -
Thing is gorgeous! Definitely been a LONG time since I've heard that sound! I wouldn't call myself a purist, since I'll throw Wilwoods and power adders on anything. For me, that engine makes me cringe as a former shop owner remembering all I've been through with some of them. Plus I hate LS engines for their oiling system (MANY places to lose pressure from, especially on the AFM ones which I wouldn't be caught dead with), and the dowel-less front and rear covers - an engineering decision that irks me to no end! And I despise electronics with every fiber of my being. My main reason for avoiding modern electronics is that when they fail, they typically leave you stranded. Tied for 1st place is also the fact that sometimes troubleshooting super-annoying problems can suck the life right out of you. I've wasted so many hours of my life chasing gremlins on those in all kinds of vehicles. I find carburetors and simple HEI style components much more suitable for keeping my sanity, lol. Different strokes for different folks. I probably get more hate from the younger crowd for sticking with my old school ways of thinking than you would for doing an LS swap. When everything's working, they're certainly a ton of fun! -
I have an Edge Insight CTS2 in my '04 3500, and find it works well. Only real problem I have with it is the obdii connector will work itself free over time, so it stops working and also freaks out the trucks electronics for a bit. Remove and plug it in and it's good to go. More recently, I've taken to zip-tying it in place which also seems to work. -
and down the road, replacement of the oil pump belt, it's notable just because the belt is at the rear of the engine, so it's expensive when it does need to be replaced, I believe it originally was every 150k miles, and '23 or later they bumped it up to 200k
