Heated steering wheel is really nice when out temps get down below 50 and of course all the other things listed above.

Quality of build and V8 doesn't hurt. And room. Compared to the 14 Tacoma double cab it has more room. My kids love that.

The g80 gets a bad rep by some but it worked smoothly and saved my ass more than once in my '05. 245k mi and counting and it's still back there doing its job.

I have 175K on my colorado with the G80 and it has seen plenty of track time and i haven't had a problem with it. Locks up from a 30mph roll and lays rubber if i mash the gas on the bottle.

No issues with sticking or not wanting to release for the g80. I was reading some people's issues that's why I was asking

After 6 months, there is still not really anything of significance that I don't like.

 

After 20 months, same here.

Since this is my first new vehicles... I'm gonna have to say the heated steering wheel is by far my favorite feature. This is the first time I've had a heated steering wheel and I will never own another vehicle without one.

Never that I can remember. A couple times my axle locked while flipping a U from the shoulder and the rear end hopped while making the u turn but it disengaged as I got going straight again.

Well since we all about have the same thing. I'm going say my best thing is being 1 of 1.... from what I have researched.. I'm the only crew cab standard bed 6.2 max tow 2 wheel drive.. and if there happens to be one out there.. then I will throw in that I have no rear step bumper..

The heated wheel is nice too. I had it in a Ram a long time ago and missed it. Being a double cab 6.2 Silverado that ruins tires is fun too....

The built in back and butt massager at 70-70 mph. It massages the whole truck. Pretty neat feature if it was something that one could actually order but my truck came from the factory with this.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
