Mine is a SuperStart or something like that, I was worried it would go last winter, but it's still "crank crank vroom" everytime. It'll sit for 3-6 days at a time this winter, I wonder how bad that is for them...

 

I think I'm going to go with the top shelf autozone when it needs replaced, as it has top terminals in addition to the sides for easier jumping.

 

 

+1 on the Duralast from Autozone. Bought one a few years back based on a Consumer Reports ranking, and it fires in a hurry, at 100 degrees or 20 below, hasn't skipped a beat in almost six years.

Repaired my DRL/turn signal/marker light housing. I knew moisture has been getting in but when I removed it last night to replace my DRL bulb it was flooded, probably shorted the bulb. No real damage and socket still works but sealed up the housing the best I could and let everything dry out over night. Also after a battery disconnect reset I may have fixed my non responsive coolant temp gauge. So far so good.

That was behind the wheel time. It took like 13.5 because I screwed around in Vegas and Mesquite, NV. From Bakersfield to Mesquite when I filled up I got 17.9 MPG. From Mesquite to here in Layton I got 18.9 according to the DIC. I haven't filled up yet. I still have a 1/4 tank.

Driving what? I have a 2wd 4.8 that's tuned. A leveling kit that "supposedly kills aerodynamics, 3.42 gears and 20's. I would have loved that mileage the whole way there

      Differential covers

      By RJL1 · Posted

      I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob

      Ac not keeping up

      Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Another JR · Posted

      Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

      There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.

      Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
