Well here's to being a Happy Camper. After my lift install my truck began to induce Stabilitrak often while cornering. I was starting to feel as if I may have ruined my truck. I took it to the dealership on Friday and spent my birthday waiting in the dealership waiting room to have my truck looked at. 150.00 later my truck was returned to me fresh off of the alignment rack. The tech found that my alignment was indeed off a little and set everything to spec. I have now driven my truck a couple hundred miles and it is indeed fixed! It now drives like the monster that it looks like.

Happy Happy Happy!

Well dang hope you waved! Was on my way to the big city of Manhattan.

Saw you on I70 around noon, the color of your pickup is even better in person.

I was headed from Manhappening to the range. I'll make sure to flash my lights next time I see you.

Very nice. I'll have to see if I can see that color at the dealership sometime.

Love the truck color and the stance - welcome back to DFW - at least it's cooled off

I am very pleased with them. They perform well and I have just over 7k miles on them and so far they are wearing perfect.

For 280.00 a tire they achieve the best rating IMO.

Great rig!!! I had to gather myself. how are you liking those tires?

Funny finding this post as the second in the build forum I clicked on, only to see that your truck is the one down the street that I love. I'm over on lookout drive with a blue Sierra. You wouldn't happen to still have the RC 2.5" level kit sitting in your garage would you ?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
