I don't really care that my rig did not come with fogs, I'll add them later if it seems ideal. However in the options for the Z71 for 04 I thought the Z71 package automatically came with fogs? Anyone else with the 04 Z71 not get fog lights?

Both my 2002 Z71 tahoe and Burb, came with fogs. Just to let you know, on a dark Muskoka night they make little difference. Steve

I have an 03 Sierra z71 and it didn't come with fogs. I added them recently.

A lot of times you get a "Z71" from the dealership and not from the factory. Meaning, it was close to a Z71 when it came from the factory and the dealership finished the job. I have a 2005 "Z71" which if I am not mistaken should come with heated seats, buy does not have them. Mine has leather seats, but it does not have the "LT" denotation. I am pretty sure my truck was a 4x2 that had the bose radio, and the dealer installed "leather" seats and put the Z71 sticker on the back.

 

The other thing that could have happened was that you bought a truck someone had ordered without the fogs and then did not take delivery of.

 

Either way, add the fogs, they do make a difference. Also add Silverstone ultra white headlights. It will make you happy!

There is no such thing as a 2005 Silverado 2WD Z71 factory truck. There is no way a dealership could convert a 2WD truck into a 4WD without major modifications. It would be too expensive to even undertake.

 

LS package trucks were available with either a bench style leather seat, or bucket leather seats. Unless it was an LT truck, it would not have power heated leather seats.

I know there is no such thing as a factory 2WD Z71.

 

I am saying my Z71 is missing some factory installed options. What some dealerships do is take a normal 4WD truck and add a few options to make it a "Z71" package even though it did not come that way from the factory.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Ok that confirms the extra quart theme they are still going with which must mean they have noted some initial use more so then some engines and probably the bigger factor in all of this probably isn't the engine so much as its the insane distance or OLM that lulls a lot of the driving public into driving their new vehicle off the lot and not even doing one short interval oil change because the manufacturer doesn't say different and if the dealer follows that logic as well. Selling the rarely needing to be serviced concept seems to go over well with the public that wants to get away with as little as possible for dollars spent on the vehicles maintenance and I bet there are 3.0 engines just like other vehicles out there that never have their oil checked by the owner which goes back to why they probably felt the need to add that extra quart to avoid a costly theme.    Speaking of cutting filters open, it was probably over two years ago now that a youtuber who buys vehicles to do longer term reviews and pulls a fifth wheel through the mountains of Colorado on summer trips and that becomes part of the testing. Anyway he had a GM HD with the 6.6 gas and a Ford 250 with the 7.3 gas at the same time and of no surprise the Ford had more power etc but somewhere along the way in the few thousand miles he put on the truck, he changed the oil and was seeing glitter and cut open the filter and yeah, things were not looking spectacular. The truck about that time or soon after seemed down on power compared to what it had been and then threw some engine code, I expect the cam/lifters were failing and so he brought the truck back to the dealer and made some deal to get out of it as he knew it would sit for months waiting on a new engine as they were so backlogged at the time. He kept the GM for some time after that using it exclusively until he sold it after buying his next vehicle to do a review on. Definitely the filter can tell a story when things are starting to go sideways, but it would be a sickening feeling to cut it open and be faced with an ugly mess like that and be running a magnet through the pleats and the oil on the dirty side of the filter and see all the fines sticking to the magnet.    The dealer may have some ideas based on experience as to where that coolant smell is coming from, I would imagine if they can't find it but its smelling they would put dye in it to they could give it a run cycle and use the black light to see where it pops up, if its a hose connection, water pump, rad or even a head gasket etc.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It’s at the point of amusement. I’m retired I have time. It’s fun seeing people try to convince me I’m using oil. I’m buying oil at the prescribed time. It gets drained and new goes in. Do I add in between, no. My oil doesn’t even get dirty in 5k miles. I don’t even see any drop on the stick. I check in the same place. All is well.
