I actually just got my truck back from getting it ceramic coated as well as getting the front end Xpeled (clear bra). This was done by a local shop that does excellent work. Prestige Auto Armor, LLC out of Pittsburgh Area if anyone wondered. I got the truck 3 months ago and the truck currently has 3,202 miles on it. The truck looks great, actually better then the day I picked the truck up when I took delivery of it. The installer did point out to me that I am getting sandblasting, or paint chipping behind the rockers in the lower-front of the rear quarter panel of the truck, below the wheel well. The truck also has had molded splash guards and running boards from the day I took delivery. The truck has never even seen a dirt, or a gravel road. I have purchased 5 new gm vehicles since 2010 (2010 2LT RS Camaro, 2012 Cruze LTZ, 2014 Silverado, 2016 2SS Camaro, and this current truck). Even my 2014 Silverado that I owned for 5 years I did not experience any of this at all with over 50k on it when I traded it in on this truck. The installer did point out to me that my black High Country has extremely soft paint. Is this something I can get covered under warranty for being a paint issue? I think this is crazy for a 3 month old truck with 3k on it. I am wanting to get this fixed then Xpel the area after the paint has time to cure. This would not allow this to happen again. I would love to hear people's thoughts. Obviously I am not super happy when spending close to 60K on a truck, and I am a detail junky.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
