After towing on the weekend and engine reaching 260degrees for a while the Battery light started to flash and volt needle jumped between 9-15V for at least 2 hours of the trip??

has this happened before to anybody and if so what is it?...is it just a cse of the Alternator being screwed??

cheers guys

  Historically I’ve run about 2 to 1. So two oil changes in the time it takes the OLM to tick over once. I only reset them when the truck starts reminding me to get an oil change and have no use for them. In no cases has the oil I’ve sampled been fit to run twice as long so the OLM is bunk across GM and other makes/models. My experience is that there’s ALWAYS something. Either the TBN is ready to fall off the cliff, fuel dilution too high, viscosity down (shear or dilution). But I suppose if you never actually test, you wouldn’t know.
- Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

  Boy do they have some margins in that to come down $5000!!!!! Does it change my thoughts? Not really. That's only one thing addressed. The transmission. Still needs an oil pump belt if that hasn't been done yet either, which per the Carfax, looks like no. I still don't like the long service intervals on the oil and the fuel filters. And then still, timing chain because 2020.
