Just finished putting on the Weathertech In channel wind deflectors. Install was super easy especially on the front windows, back ones had 2 clips per window. The instructions for the back were detailed, but the pictures were in black and white and difficult to make out how to insert the clips.

 

Here's a pic:

Nice! I'm going to go with in channel too. Did you get them directly from their main site?

Hey thanks, I bought them off of AMAZON, vendor did not have them in stock, I waited 3 weeks. I would never buy from them again.

Yeah I'm prime also, it was a vendor with the lowest price, come to find out they appear to be a dropped shipper. Mine came directly from weathertech. I paid $114.95 for them.

Hey Mike, so I got my set in from weather tech and tried to install them today... my god was that an epic fail. I've installed them on my F150 and dads accord with no problems ever but when I did my sierra today, I cracked one of the fronts when I put the window up slowly but it wasn't so bad that they were useless or unusable but when I went to do the backs, the first one I put in snapped in both spots where the clips were! I have no idea what the deal is. Bad luck haha? I'm going to call them tomorrow and figure something out but I am stumped as to what could have gone wrong. BTW, did you leave the tiny bit of clear tape on the fronts that is touching the window sil by the mirrors?

If mine had tape, I was unaware. I tried to peel it off with no luck. They are a b!tch to install, I did not break them but I can see that happening and actually I expect them to break.

 

Hope you have better luck after you contact them.

Excuse my ignorance but I have never used such before. Do the deflectors smooth the air for an open drivers window or just when cracked open a bit?

I think the main purpose is to allow you to crack the windows when its rainy so that u can get some air in the car. I also like it cause I crack the windows in the sumer when the car is parked to let the heat out and don't have to worry if it starts raining.

You are correct sir. I mainly like them for the summer heat issue.

got it, thanks. Have spent time in Duncan and Lawton. The heat can get just as bad as south TX.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
