Anyone know of an affordable sunshade that'l fit the 2014s? The $100 dealer wants for the one with the GMC logo too much for me. Thank you

I got the "gold" version of the Heatshield version by Protrim in Sept. 2013. Fits nice...at the time, they didn't have one for the 2014 with the lane departure sensor and no one else had one either. They told me that if I tried it and it didn't fit, they would refund including shipping. Got it and it fit good enough for me and I didn't want to wait until they had one specifically to fit around the sensor (mine fits behind it a little). Good customer service at Protrim. I had one in my 2011 Silverado and always liked the way it keeps the dash and steering wheel cool in the Texas sun.

 

Of course, now they have one with a cutout for the sensor.

I bought a CoverCraft custom fit sunscreen - folds up to store and makes it easy to put up and remove daily - also come in colors :-) Seems to be a solid build. It does cover the little red flashing security light on the dash near the windshield from being seen from viewing the truck from dead ahead, but I'd bet most of do the same - no big deal for me.

I used one on my 1997 F-150 and it was still in good shape when I gave the F-150 to my son a few months ago. I bought the new one on JC Whitney's Web site.

Another vote for HeatShield by Canvasworks. Rolls up easily and will last.

Have five of them for all my new and old rides. My 90 sub and 83 GP dash is in great shape because of these and they really help to cut the heat build up in your ride. Do not let the 40 dollar price fool you. These are quality.

I bought a new Gold Heatshield with a larger opening at the mirror for the lane departure sensor. If anyone is interested in my slightly used Heatshield without the sensor opening, I will sell it for $20 plus shipping. It comes with a storage bag that it rolls into. PM me if interested.

I just got a $10 one from Walmart, has two parts and folds up into a plate size circle and stores beside the console.

Custom fit, nice case for storage. Absolutely no complaints thus far.

I reviewed this one and purchased it last night. The others that were cheaper - when you add the shipping cost, this one was only was only a few dollars more. I like this one better. Thanks for the tip.

I have one of these for both of my cars and they are great.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
