197,500 Road Trip 9/1/2026 Did the 325 mile round trip to Hoerr Racing (Red Line Products Distributor) to pick up a few cases of select products I like. It was a blister today. 92 F when I left and 98 F when I came back with heat indexes running 103 to 110 F. Machines don't really care about nor are strained by the Heat Index directly but humans are, and I be one. That meant the AC was in service all day and THAT put a load on the system it does care about. Peak 98 F, Index 110 F, Oil temp 208 F, ATF temp 180 F, water 182-188 F. Road speed 60 mph. Wind 6 to 10 from the SSW. Trip runs all four directions. Long pulls 5 to 7% grades up and out of the Illinois River basin. The Mobil 1 Euro 0W40 is telling on itself with oil temps that high at that speed. The Red Line runs 197-202 F. But it is a PAO majority lubricant and that is one of the features of that base oil is its excellent heat absorption and rejection properties. [AMSOIL is up next] Filled at both ends of the trip and using the odometer and pump she netted 20.22 mpg on 75% Ethanol. Color me impressed. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/PowerSearch.do?action=noform&path=1&year1=2014&year2=2017&make=Chevrolet&baseModel=Silverado&srchtyp=ymm&pageno=1&rowLimit=50 EPA list it at 16 mpg highway on E-85 and 24 mpg on regular 87 octane. Locally in mixed driving it has been delivering about 18.6 mpg. So Pepper with just short of 200K on the clock is giving 25% better fuel economy on the highway and 33% better in mixed driving. While on SAE *W40 oil with the AC on??? Fuelly.Com doesn't have any trucks of my spec on E85 but it has a bunch on gasoline and in practice they get the same mileage on gasoline Pepper does on E85 (@75%). 😱 -

Do you mean recycling them manually 3 times? Because I cannot get it to move at all power wise. -

I bought the Dorman pan a long time ago. I had sent PPE a few emails asking when theirs's might be available. 1st email said soon and second was never answered so I just went and bought the Dorman. It should be good. And yes, it's amazing how many people think the plug to the stand pipe is a drain...some on here believe that. -

Have you tried cycling them 3 times to reset? Fold, open x 3. -

I just bought a 2015 Silverado Z71.LTZ 5.3, the power Sideview mirror is working properly on the passenger side. However, the driver side does not fold in like the passenger side. I tried it both on the door panel and using the key fob with no luck. Is there any other suggestions what I can try? Thank you in advance.
