Called in to apply promo code and they just dropped my Remote Access to $7.99/mon for a year. They told me to call back before it expires and they will try to renew at same price or give me a better deal.

So you tried to get the Costco discount and they gave you a better deal?   That's great.  Wish I had that luck

At $7.99 I'm all-in.  Will call tomorrow and give my Costco promo code and see what happens.  $7.99 is all it's worth.  My 2017 BMW X5 offered the same/similar app at no charge.

I agree.  My  F150 allowed me remote lock, unlock, engine start, etc.. for free.

Just call and say you want unlimited internet for $15.

Remote access can be $5 or $7

OnStar is $19

 

No costco bs, just ask for it.  Shoot... Tell them you want it free and they will give it to you.  I had OnStar for free all summer for my road trips.  When I was going to expire I just told them that I wanted to keep trying it out. I knew I didn't want or need it... But free is free.  

 

What people fail to realize about the hotspot or the phone is that the service is stronger in the truck than your phone.  I hunt and fish off the grid... The truck keeps me connected longer in places my cell phone loses long ago.  So it's nice to have.  In California, the 4g sucks in the truck.  But once I got out of state on the road, it was rock solid.  So, the $15 unlimited is good for me.  Remote access... Not so much, but I still have it for $7.

Just called to cancel and asked about Costco/Onstar discount for Remote Access. She just kept reading multiple discounts available and I asked about a prepay for one year and she offered me $68.20 for a year subscription, which works out to about 5.68 month.   I could of signed up for a 2 or 3 year for $8:13 month, but I took the 1 year....for now.

      OIL CONSUMPTION

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off pay close attention to what Newdude pasted as he is a GM tech !.    I have a couple of questions which might cross off some questions others on this forum would be wondering about as well. So when was the engine oil changed prior to this trip, was it almost brand new oil or did it already have a fair bit of use on it before you started the trip.   Did you check the oil level on flat ground and was it at the full mark just before leaving on this trip which I gather from google map is about 700 miles or so. Why I ask and this is not the first time in history that has happened, that either a dealer or some other shop changed the oil on the vehicle and the vehicle left the shop and the owner ( you ) assumed the engine oil was full but in reality the person who changed the oil simply did not put enough oil into the engine .. it happens !. Also that a shop put the wrong viscosity oil in and an engine was not happy with that thinner viscosity and oil got past the rings at a higher rate than the proper viscosity. Not to mention if there was any leaking out of a drain plug or the filter gasket etc.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You could, although in the end it really doesn't make much difference what comes out in exact terms since it comes down to putting enough back in so that there is enough volume so that something flows back out once the trans is up to temp for the check procedure. I presume your putting a pan on that has a drain plug but its probably the same pan mold/size as at least a while back no extra volume pan was made for the gas truck version due to the exhaust cross over pipe issue. All I can say as per volume I put back in and this was based on changing out the filter as some is trapped in it that does not come out until its removed because of the way its made inside and my truck had sat over night with the trans having been hot when shut down and dripping internally before I pulled the pan. I went off of what the trans shop suggested as a minimum volume he found worked which was 9 1/2 quarts and I had enough flow out of the stand pipe that I knew I was right on the money once it slowed to a dribble and never wasted hardly any oil but it would be totally fine to throw in a full 10 quarts too. I guess personally I wouldn't ruin a perfectly good pan by drilling a hole in it, not with the cost of replacement pans up here or the dorman one anyway with the drain was 500.00 when I priced one out a while back, totally stupid.    I might not have said before but this trans oil type really expands with heat and I think its been said on this forum and the trans shop said the same so I wanted to try and hit the lower temp of the range vs at the top or go shooting above it as that would allow more oil to flow out which wouldn't be ideal.

      Since I am going to be replacing the pan, I am just going to drill a hole in the original to drain it so I will be able to catch the fluid easier and measure how much I took out.
