Maybe I missed this & it was posted elsewhere. But saw the autumn bronze in person today on a Silverado & it looks 10x better in person.

There is a High Country in a video at the first link. Even that does not look as good as it does in person. But the HC with the

brown interior & paint would be a bit much for me.

I thought (from pictures) it seemed to have a red hue to it. Does it since you've seen it in person?

With the sun reflecting off if it, it looked like Tungsten/Iridium metallic with a brown background instead of gray. Did not notice much red, but 50 mph winds & mid morning sun... Definitely want to see it again on a normal day.

Yes, it does have a maroon red tint to it. Very nice color. Very uncommon color too. Glad I got it.

 

My Avalanche is Light Pewter Metalic. A nice color, but it was the most common truck color from GM in the early 2000's when I bought it. I am glad to have a less common color now. Makes t stand out more.

I have a 2016 GMC Sierra (regular cab) with the Mahogany exterior color and I love it. I don't see too many new GMC trucks on the road in this color. I just like not having a popular color. I added some chrome mirror covers, chrome door handles, chrome door molding and chrome step bars and the color really pops. People are always coming up to me saying they like the color because it is different. The only problem not having a popular color, everyone knows (friends, neighbors, etc.) very quickly that it is most likely my truck where I don't blend in with the crowd anymore. It is pretty cool that makes a statement "I have arrived". So I hope GMC discontinues this color very soon especially on trucks. It appears this color is not in the line up for 2017 and I think this color was only offered from 2015 to 2016 on the new models GMC trucks. Is this correct? Anyways, I like this color a lot and may start waving to people with the same color trucks since there are not too many of them. Great sleeper color!

      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.

      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.

      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.
