Now I’m confused. I thought you wrote that the lug breaker wouldn’t fit into the hole in the wheel?

Read the last sentence of the first paragraph of the original post.

https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/add-me-to-the-list-water-leaking.12090/#post-168092 I took a video of the leak and showed it to the service writer Edit: scroll up to the first post Gerry

I think that either Mobil1 or Redline are both good enough that you will have no oil related problems for the life of your engine. You will be getting rid of the truck for other reasons like rust well before the engine wears out. The OP might try using Mobil 1 for one oil change, and Redline...

I never tried Redline, but I used Mobile 1 in my 2004 Sierra from new. At 100000 miles I replaced the heads because one of them cracked because of a casting flaw. There was no discernible cylinder wear at all. The cross hatch was perfect and there was no ring ridge at the top of the cylinders...

I can't believe that it is not defective if both of them cracked. That's ridiculous. Gerry

I use 4H when there is a constant layer of snow and /or ice. 4H needs to have some slippage at the wheels to prevent any binding when the wheels are turning at different speeds. I use 4Auto when the roads mostly provide traction (wet or dry) but there may be intermittent patches of snow and...

I believe the moisture is a by product of combustion. As stated, it's best to get the engine up to temp to (boil off) get the moisture out of the oil. Another casualty of moisture from short trips is that your mufflers don't last as long. They rust quicker. Maybe a longer warm-up and /or a...

You assume wrong. More pleats means more filter media. Suppose you have just enough filter material to cover the opening with no pleats and the material is stretched tight. It probably won't take long for the filter to get dirty enough to become restrictive to air flow. Now take another...

I use Napa Gold air filters on my Corvette. They are the old round air filters. With those, the Gold filter has a lot more pleats than the Silver filter, thus more filter material. Don't know about the ones you are asking about though. Gerry

I caught mine early enough because I knew it could be a problem, so no, not up to the gas pedal....yet. Gerry

https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/add-me-to-the-list-water-leaking.12090/ Look at the seam in the video. Gerry

Mine did that twice. The morning after driving from Illinois to Colorado it had a rough idle, and the same thing the morning after. I thought it might have had something to do with the change in elevation. It's been fine since. Gerry

Did you happen to notice anything out of ordinary on the dash? Low oil pressure and maybe hi temp? Gerry

Mine filled up with sand from the gravel parking area at work. I took a 7/8" hole saw and cut holes in the lower inside corner. That way when it rains the water from the tires washes them out, and the hole is big enough so any small stones can come out. The holes are pretty unobtrusive. Gerry

My last pickup got a LineX spray in liner, and it was nice. But it just made the bed look nice. 16 years later the bed looked nice, but the doors and fenders were rusting away. I opted to not get one this time. I figure that they grind out the paint before spraying in the bed liner anyway. I...

On occasion I have heard the cooling fan behind the radiator get pretty loud, but I don't recall hearing it inside while driving. Gerry

That's too bad. I could probably fit my sig on two lines, but I think it's easier to read when it's grouped like I have it. Maybe a moderator can help me out and edit mine? Gerry

I have been trying to change one word. I put "Without Ecoboost" instead of "Without eTorque" in my sig. When I try to change it I get the signature too long error. I haven't gotten any grief, so I guess everyone knows what I meant. Gerry

I think eTorque is supposed to save gas in stop and go traffic. It won't save much gas if you are mostly driving long distance. Gerry
