I ran them on my 2007.5 - They do come with the adapters - just pick the one for GM - I have emailed PIAA to confirm 2017 fitment........

Please let us know what they say.

 

Thanks!

Yes sir, think that is what I pay here in Washington, but put on myself. The passenger side entertains the neighbors, as I use some "colorful" language to get the old one off. Wife's Tahoe much e

One thing to consider with the wipers is when you buy a truck off the lot, think that the wipers have been sitting in the elements not doing anything since its build, could be months, just drying out. When we replace wipers, they're used all the time with washer fluid, in the rain, multiple times to keep them hydrated. Its not that the ones that came on the truck are garbage, it could just be that the truck has been sitting and they've dried out. Would happen on any vehicle that sits for months and not used the wipers. I run the OEM ones on my truck, first set lasted 2 years, replaced with OEM and so far so good.

Rain x washer fluid is great to maintain the repellant coating, but nothing beats a hand application of the real stuff

I recently replaced mine with Bosch Icon OE and was really impressed. Much better than the factory wipers

The left wiper streaks all the time on my '17 All-Terrain. Only have 4500 kms on it. I'll be replacing them STAT!!!

I would tell your dealer you want them replaced. Wiper blades are not officially covered by the B2B warranty but at under 3000 miles you shouldn't be having problems with them yet.

I'll let them know when I bring it in for the first service.

 

Thanks for the advice.

I have had good luck with PIAA Silicone. Mark me down as a fanboy for Aquapel, it lasts 3 or 4 times as long as Rain X and doesn't smear when it wears out. With a good coat of Aquapel on your windshield you can get by with just about any wiper blade.

32000 miles on OEM blades. No problems at all. I do use RainX applied and their fluid,

Before you buy anything, always look at amazon. It saves me a lot of money every year.

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
