On my 2019 LTZ Z71 Silverado there is a round control nob on the left upper side of the dash, as you face the steering wheel. It has a trailer marked on it  for turning it left and a racing flag to turn it to the right. Anyone know what this exactly does? I was told it is a sport mode.

I can see how you get 10mpg in your AT4.    Take a Xanax.

I think the difference comes down to what cluster your truck has. I’ve noticed that trucks with the large digital cluster do not have drive mode indicators printed on the dial. This theoretically allo

There's been a thread on this already.  Sport mode lowers gearing, has quicker shift points, the engine RPM's are increased and steering is also heavier.  It downshifts quicker too so RPM's are kept at peak.

Sport mode definitely makes a very noticeable difference. I just wish it would stay in sport every time the truck's power is cycled. It's still an awesome addition to the trucks.

Tow haul turning left? What truck do you have? Left on my RST is snow/ice mode and tow/haul is a push button.

I'm guessing that you have 2 wheel drive.  4 wheel drive puts all modes on the rotary switch.

Gotcha, so the 4wd has a 3 position rotary for sport, snow/ice and tow?

I have Tour, Sport, Off-Road and Tow Haul on my 4 Wheel Drive.  Snow Mode is specific to 2 wheel drive.

Function depends on your model. It's clearly explained in the manual. Sport mode feels good, but I can't really tell, since I only have 1000 miles on mine, and everything is still super tight. Tow/Haul worked great while towing our 6500# travel trailer.

What truck do you have? I have an AT4 and it's either Tow or Sport

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      Are we talking about the same thing, though? The 7 versus 3 wear metals was from Lakespeed's 3.0-specific oil brand comparison test between AcDelco oil and Mobil ESP. The filter remains a constant so whatever excess particles the AcDelco oil is producing aren't being filtered out.   I'm assuming there's a parallel comparison to be made; IF the filter can filter down those particles, engine life increases, and your graph makes the case that a better filter (lower micron rating) can increase engine life. Introducing fewer particles AND filtering those particles with higher efficiency is the best of all worlds. Good oil, good filter.   Where we may disagree is the "baseline relative engine life". I'm more apt to believe the base engine life value is 200k+ on very average oil and filters, "bulk oil of unknown brand and white-label generic fleet-grade filter, Jiffy Lube"   Going from a 10 micron filter to a 5 micron filter should boost a base 200k to 275k in a vacuum as a single factor alone.   Here's the whatabout: How does regularly changing the oil and filter ahead of recommended schedule influence baseline engine life? Most people aren't going to science the heck out of this stuff or ask about Micron ratings, HTHS, or wear comparison tests at Jiffy Lube. Most of the Jiffy lube techs would say they need to call their tech support line to even try to get an answer.   --   Because we love anecdotes here, when I was fishing for 4.3 parts at a local yard this weekend, ALL of the 4.3 vehicles had well over 200k. I love looking at odometers of junked vehicles. How far did THIS go before landing at the crusher? The ones that still had engines weren't seized. None of them were vehicles I'd consider were Amsoil queens, in fact most of them had some kind of service cling-sticker in the corner of the windshield indicating it probably had very average maintenance services. Even the fresh parts rigs- I'm not sure taking an S/T series to 400k has much value considering the running value of those vehicles was probably somewhere around $1,000. 25+ years is a good run on time alone.   The intake manifold I salvaged had clean and bright pool areas. As expected, I found the fuel lines in the manifold rubbed through, just like mine. I'm guessing the lines on that donor truck started leaking, the truck started running rough, and its owner said that's enough I'm unwilling or can't take it out of service for several days, or spend $1000+ to repair it at a shop, it's simply time for a newer more reliable vehicle (or, more than likely, this is the 2nd, 3rd time this has happened in the truck's lifetime). While I don't count on my Blazer for reliability, the thought of giving it away for parts at certain points during my adventure, and being mentally free from its needs has has crossed my mind. I'd be losing $1500 or so, but I can only make more money; not time.
