Watch your silicon levels when doing an oil analysis.

K&N’s have been shown (by some folks and studies) to let fine silicon thru.

Google it then make the decision [emoji106]

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

I would have to pull the exact details but I run oil analysis with every oil change on my 2010 6.2. I switched to the K&N filter early on. No issues then all the sudden wear metals showed up out of the blue didn’t make sense. Changed the air filter and everything went back to normal and has been fine. Blackstone was stumped with the results until I told them about the filters.

There is a give and take to filters that flow better than others.  Better flow doesn't always mean clean air.  Some have noticed after using a K&N air filter, that after they cleaned it they could see tiny pin holes through the filter when held up to the sun. 

 

Also if not cleaned and oiled correctly, you can get a layer of fine oil on your MAS.

Did you install it yet?  I'm not happy with mine at all.  I am awaiting spacers to make it fit properly width wise, and length wise it's about an Inch short.  Bak claims it is perfect the way it is but it's clear that the cover is short.  They blamed GM for the bed width issue saying I must have an early production model which had wonky measurements but the truck was produced 2 weeks ago so I don't buy that. 

Sorry, just now seeing this.  It came in and it doesn't fit.  1 rail is short and the other is long.  Their customer service person asked me to send pictures and I've been waiting for a response.  I never even checked the cover, only got as far as the rails and had to abort..

How did you get your rear box to fit on the mat?

No worries.  As far as I know, they stopped selling it and are re designing now, so you'll probably end up with a new cover anyway.

I removed the the rear storage unit.  Three 10mm nuts; two on Jack bracket and one anchor screw on driver side.  Installed the mat and only had to trim the two 1/2"H by ~ 5"L  ridge pieces from the mat on the passenger side to reinstall the storage unit flat on the mat.  You will also have to drill a 3/8" hole on the driver side mat  to match the location of the anchor screw location in the floor.

Install was easy.  A pry tool easily took out the black inserts.  Plugs into the plug that houses the light for the tailgate buttons.  I thought about putting them on the outer sides but felt that the wire might have been stretched to do so.  I prefer the center because that is where I would try to step up anyway.  The light does encompass the edges of the step though.  Just dimly

One disadvantage of the Keyless Ignition is when you and your Partner both have your Keyless fob in your vehicle.  If you get out of the vehicle while a fob is still in the vehicle the horn beeps to remind you you left the fob in the vehicle.  In addition, depending on who gets into the vehicle first, the user profile try's to match to that fob!  To fix this I picked up a  Signal Blocking Faraday Key Fob Case for the wife: https://www.amazon.com/Silent-Pocket-Signal-Blocking-Faraday/dp/B01MTNKVO4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541167189&sr=8-3&keywords=Silent+Pocket&dpID=51gnPAjIRdL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

 

It works great and no more horn alerts about leaving fob in truck and it protects against anyone trying to clone the fob!

Or you can disable horn alert when fob is left in vehicle in settings.

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
