I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

It seems to work just as well as stock so far, maybe a little loss on one station that I use occasionally. It was always questionable anyways. I picked it up at the local auto parts store, it is made by Metra, and was $18. Cheap, easy and looks good.

Well i deleted my air dam the other day (see post 5236), and while i think it look better removed, it just looked as tho something was missing... so i decided to trim it down and reinstall as a few others have done. Looks much better now imo. Finishes the lower bumper area out nicely.

Just took my 16 to the dealer to get the 1000 mile break in oil changed.

Ummmm ive got 3,000 miles on mine with no "break-in oil change" done. I see no mention in my manual either... should i be concerned here?

No, not at all. Just personal preference. I did oil and all driveline components at 1k miles, I'm a stickler when it comes to maintenance

Did your dealers give you the free oil change at 1000 miles? Mine told me the oil life percentage had to below a certain percentage, I forget maybe 20%, before it'd qualify for the free oil change. Something else I noticed later was the details on the free oil changes. Up to 4 free, 2 per year max, 24,000 miles and 24 months. Dealer recommendation and oil life meter seems to get you around 7,000 miles between changes so I'll never get that 4th free one at this point unless you guys have had luck getting your dealers to change it at any interval?

Nice touch, but I could see that getting old very quick. Many times I go outside to my truck to grab something I forgot to find my door is locked. My neighbors would hate me.

You won't see it in the maintenance schedule as technically, GM doesn't use "break-in" fluids as they once did. However, you will find a lot of owners do their first oil change (and other fluids) early just as personal preference. Personally, I don't put a lot of miles per year on my vehicles, so my first oil change was at 3,000 miles (I had my first 4 done at 6 month intervals, then switched to full synthetic, Mobile 1 and it will be one change annually). Now, I should also tell you that my dealer provides the first 4 oil changes during the first two years at whatever interval the customer desires and does not limit it by the OLM percentage.

You will hear as many opinions on this as there are drivers...

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
