Are you still able to turn the fogs off separately?

No. The fogs are on anytime the parking lights are on in this case. You should theoretically be able to turn the fogs on alone, though, but I think the truck turns on the headlights as soon as the fogs are turned on.

I've used air shocks before, just don't get crazy with weight on them as the next weak link is the shock mount. Not that I experienced it with a GM, but ripped the mounts off a Ford Ranger and a Dodge 150...

When you turn the fogs on, your parking and head lights all come on. I use the fog light switch/button as my "one touch" way of turning on my headlights in the "Daytime Headlight Zones."

Does anyone know if you're able to to take off the stock seat cover (non leather)? I am thinking of putting one of the thin massage/heat inserts and have it under the cover, rather than have it always outside the seat. Thanks!

For anyone that wants to use vinyl over plastidip for their emblems hit up your local sign shop. They have a million different colors of vinyl and can even do prints. You might even be able to score scrap pieces for free. This is what I did on my Cruze. For the truck I went black plastidip with glossifier. Gives it a nice satin sheen. $5.86 for a can of plastidip.

 

Just use a plastic trash bag to tape off the area and try not to spray on a windy day. If you have any over spray just rub it off.

Made a docking station for my phone directly into the center console. It works with Android Auto.

Does it stay put if you make a sharp turn? I'd be afraid that the charging pins on the phone would take a beating.

I plan to beef it up with some rubber on each side to support the phone from rocking but so far I've had very little movement. I Dremelled the right angle USB-C connector to give it some tilt towards the backrest. The sub under the console supports the connector.

      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.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      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.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      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.
