well folks, the Famous In Depth Reveiwer of Cars on Youtube Kyle Lindsey (Saabkyle04) has managed to review a Blue Granite Metallic Silverado LTZ Crew Cab. and I've seen something in his review that I DO NOT Like: the Keyfob looks like it could be a Switchblade Key, but its a Separate Key that's UNGODLY Tiny Compared to the Fob! (in comparison, the GMT900 Key Set Looked Better!)

 

Here's his Review Video for those who want to see the '14 Silverado, but don't want the pressure of a salesman breathing down their neck:

Really ? Who cares... it's a key! ​It amazes me what some people complain about . Poor GM couldn't make everyone happy no matter how hard they try

Seriously who the hell cares about the key/keyfob size ratio. If you do you may want to seek professional help because your OCD has officially become a sickness. :unsure:

I happen to like the keyfob, I hate the switchblade style key for my wife's Nox, it tends to open up when it's in my pocket.

Wish they would offer push start like Ram. I like to jump into truck and not worry.

IMO, the key looks like an Afterthought!

I want to turn the key to start the truck. I also want to move the shifter like it's been done forever. I personally don't like the push button start and turn dial shifter with Dodge. Doesn't seem like a truck

The only thing I would change about the truck is I would put the shifter in the center console. It's going to take some getting used to....

I prefer it on the column in a truck. In the Ram it took up a lot of room in the console.

Good video walkthrough. After watching that there are two things. First I'm not sure how I feel about the whole touchscreen thing as the radio, seems like it could be kind of distracting compared to a fully button system, but then again that may be because I'm just used to my radio too. The second thing is probably the first thing I genuinely don't like and that is the fact that the exhaust is quieter. I want to upgrade the exhaust on my 07 and definitely would have to upgrade on the new trucks, didn't like the stock sound at all.

Touchscreen isn't too bad. My recommendation would be to set it to the night mode of it had one and leave it there permanently. Mine hasn't come in yet so I'm not Sur about the settings but my touchscreen nav in my trailblazer has a night setting to be perfect for day and night...

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Another JR · Posted

      I went to order some PF63 oil filters from an on line GM parts source, and the blue PF63 oil filters seem to be getting phased out. They show the new part number as 19363567, which is a black colored AC Delco Silver product apparently marked PF63A. Some sites show a part number 12693541, which is a black colored AC Delco Ultragard Gold filter marked UPF63R.    I assume the UPF63R is the better one, but I’d be happy if I could just get blue PF63 filters I’ve been using.    Can anyone explain what is going on with the filter part number changes and any actual design changes?  Any other advice on buying OEM filters right now?  Thanks

      HELP! DUMPING COOLANT

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      If anyone lands here looking for an update - the problem wasnt with the hose, the clamp, etc... I purchased a metal Thermostat housing that just must not of been made to spec. It just wouldn't plug up the hose.. Went back to a plastic cheap housing - leak fixed. Some plumbers tape carefully placed in tandem with a clamp likely would've gotten the job done.   Best,

      For anyone following, this is what I have deduced from this forum - and my very specific niche case. Please do let me know if you see me going in the wrong direction here. For context, I have a 16 sierra 1500 w/t. Has TC and Cargo light switches. Removed the switch to find the X1 and X2 of the S48A connection populated with wires (x1 10-14, and x2 1-5).   Took photos of the X61A-X5 to find the wires from S48A-X1 land here at their respective pins (10, 11, 17, 23 on the X5). Was hopeful that this means my X51A fuse box has the appropriate pins... No cigar. So now I will be routing wires from the rear of the X61A-X1 to the engine bay and to their respective negative relay triggers. Please see to the diagram. If any has insight as to where the S48A-X2 pins 4 and 5 land that would be awesome.   Will be attempting this sometime shortly and will likely make a youtube video out of it.   Note: please disregard fuse sizes. Main fuse will likely be 25A, all mini bus fuses will likely be 10-15A.   Here is my parts list: GM 84347199 - TC, Cargo Light, Exhaust Brake (useless to me unless I find a means to reconfigure), Aux 1 - 4. 12V 6 Way Pre-Wired Fuse Relay Box Kit with 4 x 40A 4-Pin Relays (link below - some mods required to make negative trigger)            https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0F4KCS43B?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Various wire sizes (12 AWG - red and black, 14 AWG, 16 AWG multi-colored bundle) Wire termination leads for X61A-X1 (unknown at this time) Crimp connectors/Soldering Gun Heat Shrink Split Wire Loom To be continued...    Cheers
