Thanks for the info, ive decided to use only Chevron fuel from now on, the answer i was looking for since i posted this subject; Thanks to everyone for your input.
I have owned many GM 4wd vehicles dating back to the 1980's and driven all the big 3 brands at work (GPS Survey team). Granted I live in upper Michigan where its winter (300+ inches of snowfall this past winter) from Nov-April (+-) but other than having it in AUTO 4wd then, I never excise it when I don't need it. Never an 4wd issue ever. Btw, according to a fiend who is GM tech, 99% of 4wd issues he encounters are attributed to oversize tires.

Now if you are one who has a 4wd just for a status symbol (many do) and really never use it then it might be a good idea to do that occasionally just to make sure you know how to use it. LOL.Â
I doubt two wheel drive pickups are a hot seller off the new vehicle lot in your area !, I highly doubt any of the dealers around here have brought in one two wheel drive pickup for many years as that four wheel drive system isn't along for the ride here or I can well imagine in Vermont during the winter. Of course some of our more poorly maintained gravel roads are so bad that during the summer if it rains a person could get stuck right in the middle of a gravel road in two wheel drive LOL.Â
My 2016 Silverado L86 failed at 102,000 miles 2 weeks ago. It doesn’t matter what year it is, how often you change the oil and take care it, it’s going to fail. These engines are a ticking time bomb and GM has known it for over a decade.Â
