so i decided to cancel and go to my regular dealership. they also have the 3rd party electronic repair company booked to check the camera. both dealers use York Electric, maybe GM Canada has a contract with them i dont know.

 

York Electric is an power coop in New York

I'm guessing you mean York Electronics. :)

all done, new software update for the camera and human interface (i noticed voice commands are a bit different)

arm rest latch fixed

undercoating recovered

intermittent starting issue was done by the foreman (who i know) no leaks, all the lines pressure test at spec so im going to run a fuel system cleaning and watch what fuel i get. generally i get esso but i try to get costco because of the price.

so ill throw in some seafoam into the fuel before my next highway drive and go from there.

 

i dont know why i bothered going to another dealership, sure its a hour away but piece of mind is worth it.

i had a rental car overnight but my truck was ready yesterday at about 3pm.

Odds are they get their fuel from the same terminal or refinery. And it's likely they use the exact same additives as well. Both of those are Top Tier, but some wholesalers won't even sell anything but Top Tier equivalent anyway.

 

IE, if one of your areas stations is getting bad fuel, they all are.

ya the comment was make sure you use top tier fuel and i always do mostly because of the points and discounts.

we have a small station literally walking distance to my house and ive only filled up there once.

 

i think im just going to really give up on finding a new dealership just because its closer, stick with what works and you trust...ive been a loyal customer there since 2003 so why go elsewhere.

 

funny thing is after i got home i remembered i actually have a couple small jugs of the OEM GM undercoating sitting in my garage. so before winter (say october) im going to powerwash it, let it dry overnight then paint it on thick in the front end and touch up a few other spots. ill probably put my lower air dam back on for winter this year too, just to stop the salt and rocks from beating on the frame.

My dealer told me to use BP fuel in my 5.3. I was always told to stay away from BP. I always had used Marathon, but I have be getting BP now. Any thoughts?

i have no clue who supplies the ones i go to.

 

i know Shell has always had the best fuel for motorcycles, no ethanol...so thats what i always try to run in my bike but when theres nothing else around i just get whatever.
i think its called XTR that has been expanding a lot lately.

BP - the white gas.

After the Gulf oil spill debacle, most (all?) of our local BP stations switched to Texaco.

Yea, I had a 24' center console and it affected me but I think BP did everything corporately possible to address the accident.

 

Oh well. I can't buy BP anymore. Would if I could. It was my almost sole brand for years.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
