My Silverado has Power windows and Power locks. Several years ago I had a problem with my mirrors and locks blowing the fuse ( they are on the same one). I come to find that the wires were rubbed raw and grounding out. I repaired the wires and all was well. Flash forward to this past weekend and the same thing happened, only this time the wires were rubbed all the way through. Turns out that the Emergency brabe pedal was the culprit. As the pedal is used the wires (6 to 8 in all) were constantly rubbing on the pedal. I re-routed the wires and all appears to be OK!!!

Just a heads up that I thought I would pass along!!!

  Well, now which is it? Iranian oil tankers or tankers from UAE, Saudi, etc? Still not showing me where Trump said it. Until you can show me where Trump said it in a press conference, it's all fake news from the right.

  I appreciate your sharing that. I would opine that you then hold the same view as the majority. I do note the + behind the 200,000 of the earlier models. I expect this means you would not find it unusual to run across pre-AFM/DFM engines with considerably higher miles which begs the question; at what point would you start to be impressed and say, "Now that's truly exceptional"?

  Thinking on things over the week, I decided to use the remaining oil in the pouch. Basically, there's a gallon in the differential, minus a tiny bit of spillage and whatever remained in the bags. I think Banks designed this cover biased towards the standard Ram fill (some of those applications are greater than others, but by Amsoil's website, capacity is minimum about a pint greater than GM applications. In the picture, the differential appears fairly tilted, but it is really slightly tilted; the camera angle is skewed. With ~8 pints, the level is midway on the sight glass; you can see the center hole of the baffle to more closely judge the level. Regardless the 6.3 pint fill spec, I'm going to leave it as-is. I don't blame Banks for erring on the conservative side, and I don't know why there's such a difference in specs between GM and Ram. And I'd also speculate the cover volume is pretty much the same as the stamped steel, as @Chuck FB noted relative volume with his recollection of another member's fill experience.
