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?

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.

    • 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.
    • Better than stock but that's like putting lipstick on a pig
    • 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, 
    • 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.
