You didn't get the 2 year free maintenance?

I did but I like to do it myself. They limit you to 2 oil changes a year plus I have to do it on their time. I can change my own oil at any time of the day

I think they limit you to 4 in 2 years, I change mine every 5000 miles and I've got 1 more left at 20,000. They want you to do it at 6000 so it ends at 24,000. I got a service contract after that runs out that will carry me 3 more years until the truck is paid off then I get a new one and my son gets this one.

Honestly with this Mobil 1 EP I think I can go more than 5k. I normally run 5k in my other truck with it but I could probably do at least 7500 and be safe

Well not today but yesterday. Since it was warm here I washed both the car and truck. And then last night gave the Silverado a fresh coat of wax. It is nice a clean now and the best the paint looked since I bought it last Feb. Now it is ready for winter.

 

Now I have to take it out and get it dirty to go to the autoparts store to get a clay bar so I can do Equinox. It as some tar build up on the front doors that I need to remove before waxing it.

Don't blame you one bit. Lots of horror stories out there about issues with oil changes.

 

I had 4 free ones with our van I took it in once they gave me a hard time becAuse I only had 2500 miles I was like I have a coupon doesn't specify miles. They went round and round about their "special" synthetic oil. I haven't been back mobil 1 works fine Toyota oil isn't special

Getting 2 new 12s for under my seat as well as new speakers all the way around and a 24 inch light bar for my brush guard! Cant wait!

Lolol :driving:

 

The 2 12s are 120 for both. The speakers front and back are 100 from crutch field and the light bar is only 89.99 from eBay!

 

Of course Santa is bringing me some of this and my birthday is a week latter haha

 

I use to be mr moneybags until i spent most of it treating myself to a lift kit and 37s for graduating haha

Lol I just thought about that

Nice. Crutchfield is only an hour and a half away from me. Their store is actually not that big but I'm sure their warehouse is massive

With EP you should be good to 15k. I run regular M1 to 10k in my 2006.

under normal driving conditions maybe. You sure as heck better be replacing the oil filter WELL before 15,000 miles. These are not big rigs with multi-filtration systems.

I didn't call him money bags like someone else did. I have a 5 yr old truck and almost 3 yr old car

Just ordered my light bar :chevy: !!!

 

My buddy is coming tomorrow to help me work on my 78 Jimmy so hopefully i can get a pic of it running!

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
