I have a 2020 Silverado raised 2 inches with the oem kit. It seems that I am experiencing more chip damage to the windshield than on any of my past trucks. I replaced the windshield this week after one of the chips that was previously repaired ended up in a long crack. I am considering a bug/hood deflector in the hope it will stop this damage. For those of you that have them, do you feel it helps with this problem? I would be gettng one from the Chevy Accessories page. The truck is ceramic coated. Thanks.

most of them are just what they are called hood protector, they dont do much to deflect anything that is going to chip a windshield

Try not tailgating. Where do you think the rocks come from?

  Was considering a new AT4 next year but after seeing the available colors I'm going to pass.
- Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

  Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum. We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

  I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

  I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy. The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.
