Where is 2011 Silverado WT Oil life monitor

[jtgeor]

New owner of a 2011 Silverado WT Crew Cab with 86000 miles. I'm confused on the OLM and I hope this isn't a dumb question. Where is it on the WT model? No buttons to push. Nothing comes up on the dash display. Is there a way to check it? The owners manual is no help for this model.

Upon further review I believe I will just be ordering the DIC upgrade to install. In the meantime if anyone knows if this info is accessible as is with some magic turn of the key and hold your tongue to the left please let me know.

LMC has it and it may be cheaper than the dealer. You should try them. I've ordered parts from them before. They're good.

Try pressing the tripometer button (the stick coming out of the instrument cluster) repeatedly until you see the OLM on the cluster screen.

Well I was about to tell you that there was no tripometer button but decided to look again. I feel really stupid now. It's in the top right corner of the instrument panel not down low in the middle as I am used to. It's black with no apparent marking on it so it never jumped out at me. It shows tran temp, oil life and trip. Thanks, If you hadn't said anything I probably would not have looked again as closely. It was also behind the steering wheel in my sight line.

 

I found the DIC on amazon for 73 plus shipping.

 

thanks again.

No problem. The WT trucks' tripometer buttons really do hide from ya. The DIC is still a nice upgrade though!

[jtgeor]

Just ordered it from Amazon. Looking forward to the fuel info, etc. Thanks again

A quick update. My DIC came in today. It took me less than 5 min. to install. Well worth the money for the info that it provides if your truck doesn't have it. The wiring is probably already there. http://gmt900.wrath.org/dic.htm

Having that wiring in there totally blew my mind (I did mine about 3 months ago). It almost seems like it would be more expensive to make two different panels instead of just putting the buttons in all of them.
