I appreciate that there are people who like vent air blowing directly at them. I don't like HVAC vents blowing at me in my home or vehicle. I have no difficulty maintaining a comfortable temperature throughout the cab with the existing layout of the vents. I regularly transport passengers of all ages and only receive compliments as to their comfort. There is no argument that many people like roof top or mid height vents in the back. However, the current system is designed to heat and cool the entire cab and in my opinion works well.

You live in BC. Is AC even needed in BC?

$1000+ to have rear A/C vent! Who's up next? I'll spend that kind of money on something else that's needed.

my guess is get a Tahoe headliner, remove the ductwork, glue it to Silverado headliner and work on the ducts from the headliner to the dash....might be harder than I thought

Not as often as as some places, but yes, I rely on AC in my home and vehicles for parts of the year. We do have a son who lives in Houston, Texas and my wife and I are frequently transported in the back seat of his '14 High Country during our summer visits.

I live in Texas and have three kids that ride in the back every day. The AC in these trucks cools the cab just fine. I have the Tstat set to Auto 69 Bi-Level and it cools down within just a few minutes and everybody is happy. The middle vents send plenty of air into the back of the cab. There's plenty of circulation.

Same here. I set it at 70deg and my kids are just fine in the back. Even after a baseball game when my oldest is hot and sweaty, it cools quick enough that my son never complains about it being too hot.

It's really difficult to believe this is real, what about the front? As for the AC vent, I got it replaced for my 19 Silverado, because it's difficult for the people who sit in the rear to feel the cold air, last week I just bought the vent deflectors from AUXITO,  the ventilation inside the car is improved a lot, they direct the cool air flow upwards the rear seat by their 45° degree. Very pleased with the results these vents bring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.

      Oil Consumption

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
