I like the AeroSkin Bug Shield by Auto Ventshade, it will be going on my new 2011 :confused:

 

I have the GM factory one on my 1500 and it makes the seals noisy next to the windshield

How do these perform at highway speeds behing that they are just clipped on? Any vibration or wobbling you notice?

It pretty solid. The whole deflector is tape on to the hood and at the end you have the clips along with two rubber bumpers.

 

 

I agree, very solid and on a black truck it is barely noticeable. No wind noise that I can hear.

Hi Guys, I had to finally register just so I could reply to this thread. I have a two week old Sierra and I'm interested in this GM big deflector. Looks like and correct me if I'm wrong, does the middle part stick to the outside hood paint above the grill? Any other install pictures? Looks sweet thanks.

I've been using this deflector for over two years. Works fine- no noise or vibration up to 80+.

Wife took it through the carwash to suprise me. SUPRISE! Tore it off and scratched my hood all to hell.

Didn't break though-tape just released and pivoted onto the hood.

Need to find more tape. Any ideas?

I have the chrome one, and it is hard to tell it is on from a distance. I only use the touchless car washes, and never have had an issue with it. Shield has been on for one complete seasonal year, no issues. No wind noise on hwy either.

Do these things even do shet? The only 'protection' I see it could maybe have is blocking bugs/debree for the first foot of the front of the hood, tops. Its not gonna protect the windshield, back of the hood, or anything on the side. Its a cheap and very ugly (especially chrome ones) add-on that serves little purpose imo. I don't see everyone's need/want for one

I think it is like a fat chick. Some people love them, some don't.

 

Personally, I do not understand why some need/want to name their vehicle. It is an inanimate object, doesn't come when you call it, so why name it?

      I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.

      I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
