I have a 2014 Silverado, built 7/2014, bought 12/2014. I'm about to schedule its first oil change, and I want to make the appointment for more than just and oil change. I don't have any issues with the truck, other than some of those beat to death on here. Anyway's besides an oil change, and tire rotation, is there anything else I should specifically ask for? I'm sure if I ask for an oil change, that's what it'll get, an oil change and nothing more.

 

Oil change.

Tire Rotation.

Check for Recalls, even though I'm sure there isn't any.

BCM updates?

MyLink updates?

safety bulletins?

mention the headlights again.

copies of paperwork to all work performed.

 

Any other thoughts.

I think there is a service interval in the owners manual or some papers that tell what needs to be done at certain miles. I'd just go by that myself.

I don't know if your having any issues with your FM reception, but I was and when I had my oil changed, I mentioned it and they did an update on it and it seemed to help.

Plan on being there a while, I take a loaner, or drop it off. My dealer is great, but slower than mold

First time I went in it seemed like it came up for them automatically if there were any outstanding recalls, they will punch your VIN into the computer. Asked if I had the extra time and they did it. I just had the shift to neutral I hadn't done yet. In and out, no problem. It's about worth the trip to pick up a few free jugs of wiper fluid lately lol.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
