My 2015 always showed 210 F. I removed the 207 thermostat and installed a 180 F. Still reads 210 F.

May be this is the reason. Look at your PRO codes and see if you have VTI in there. 

I think you should be OK. It won't hurt if you check with the dealer too.

Yeah, wonder if you have the shutters. Mine doesn’t and my temp sure as hell doesn’t do that.

Doesn't. Starts cold (65-80), goes up to 210 pretty fast, within a couple minutes, and then stays there.

I checked mine. I don't have code VTI. Mine takes forever to reach 180. It sounds like VTI is for mainly 6.2L and some 5.3L Z71 packages. 

In southern California I prefer not to have it ?

Thought it was because of NHT but then someone else with a non-NHT 6.2 also didn’t have them but another did. I’m fine without because it’s just another thing to malfunction.

Mine stays around 200 unless I'm towing. When towing 7000lbs, it fluctuates as shown above. It goes to about 220, then drops to about 200. That pattern continues the entire time I'm towing. I have the 6.2 with 10 speed.

I checked mine and it stays at the line before 210,  so I am guessing that is around 200 or so.  It is a 6.2 and I have the shutters.

I just got my build sheet from the "[email protected]" folks. Very friendly! 

 

I have VTI on my 5.3L DFM RST. Didn't realize that!

You can also scan the QR code on the door (driver side). It will list the RPO codes along with the VIN.

Thanks! Didn't realize that. I tried scanning it with my iPhone, but it didn't read it.

My truck has 2 QR codes. The big one is the VIN only, and the small one includes VIN and RPO codes. I had to install a 3rd party free app on my Samsung phone to be able to read the codes.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
