Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.
$6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that.
$6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines
$5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.
$250+ and I didn't even get a tug.
Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL
Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.
Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.
Report back what the techs find on the 29th.
GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.
I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
I have had the same suspicion. With the exception of head bolts, the sizes involved and the initial torques, plus the additional rotation angle, don’t seem to be enough to be causing yield. However I have not done the actual calculations. It would depend on the alloy used. The only motivation to do this would be to sell bolts, and I can’t imagine this small amount would be enough of a profit incentive for GM. One could do the analysis to determine if they are scamming us, but I haven’t done it.
