2014 Silverado/Sierra Tips and Tricks

You aren't going to get 30 mpg doing anything reasonable. It's a truck after all.

If I were seeing mileage anywhere close to that I wouldn't change anything!

I just noticed last night the LEDs on the inside door handles even on the rear doors on the extended cabs like mine.

Never noticed this before. Put my fingers on top of the door handle and they lit up! No illuminated radio knobs yet, but door handle lights up. Go figure.

Not a trick just a bit if information I thought I'd pass along. We get a free oil change and tire rotation every 7,500 miles. Well I wasn't quite to 15,000 miles when I took it in, but my service advisor said as long as the oil life is 10% or less they will change it.

I changed mine every 3000 miles. Doesn't matter how much oil life have left on the screen. My dealer doesn't mind anyway.

For free?

[block8head]

For free?

yup. Truck come with 2 years free oil change so use it.

[TX14Z71]

I thought you could only change oil every 7,500 miles for free?

[hodges25]

Under 20% is what I was told

that's really good. Now do you have yours changed every 3000 miles for free too?

[hodges25]

Nope, just under 7000 miles and just took it in last week for its first oil change and tire rotation

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but the radio seems to record. If you miss something you can "rewind" the live radio using the onscreen arrows and listen again. I thought those arrows were for changing the station. I think this is an awesome feature! But I'd go without to get close to the advertised fuel economy... :-P

So when you touch the inside door handle a light comes on?

no they are illuminated when the headlights are on - the inside door handles - you can see the ambient light coming from them the LED is in the upper back side of the recess

[chuckl1218]

No. It was night so headlights and dash lights were on. I didn't see the light illuminating the door handle at first, but it was very apparent when I slide my fingers on top of the handle as if I was going to open the door. If I look real closely at the back of the handle, I saw the light. If you open the door with the headlights on, look where the door handle comes out of the door closure handle. There is a light there. It is on when headligts are on in the recess of the handle.
