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]

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.

    • I understand that. The price is what it is, though. The price is what oil costs today, where our choices have led us, where supply is, and where demand is, in the market that is. Speculation is for futures, what we think the price will be, but with incomplete information at the time the price is forecast. I know you know this, but you appear to be intent on making a secondary point here about what you think the market could or should be, if only other choices.   In 1975 it became illegal to export US Crude. I'm conflicted on what the best answer is. Free markets allow export in pursuit of profit. But there is also a lot to gain by producing and consuming our own oil here. How do you reconcile it?
    • That sir is a choice. And even if it were not for all the reasons stated, this disruption has zero to do with the reality of the actual logistics and everything to do with the greed of SPECULATION. Spot price is irrelevant to reality. 
    • What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.    
    • The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.  
    • I am experiecing the same issue, I have gone in the setting and disabled rain sensing function but I am still experiencing this. Whe i use my turn signal they will redomly turn on. Sometime they stay on and others times we swipe 2 or 3 times and stop. Its super anoying, escpecially after a fresh wash. Anyone have any advice? . rain-sensing function, but I am still experiencing this issue Sometimes they stay on, and other times we swipe 2 or 3 times and stop.It's super annoying, especially after a fresh wash.When I use my turn signal, they will randomly turn on.
