I had a 92 Chevy pickup that I really liked. However, it had endless issues to the point that at 35000 + miles I was told by my dealer to contact Chevrolet direct and ask for suggestions as to what could be done to try and insure trouble free service in the future. They felt that the dealer had...

Here is a copy of a paper written by SAE international in 2007. I have heard this information before but make of it what you want. Browse Publications Technical Papers 2007-01-4133 2007-10-29 The Effect of Oil Drain Interval on Valvetrain Friction and Wear2007-01-4133 Engine oils are subjected...

What you are reading is the temp of the road. The air over the road is warmer than the air over water, grass, etc. Go stand on the asphalt in the sun for a while. You will quickly see the issue.

To me these numbers seem all over the place ranging from very low to very high. I think I would consider that these results might be in error. I would think that more would be out of line if the iron and copper were really that far off of the norm.

Talk to your dealer and see if there is one they prefer to deal with. If they like it you probably will also.

I have been trying to get some actual information about it. Seems nobody really knows what is going on and when it will happen. The picture looks like they might be sourcing the cab from GM. Not a very original looking design.

I have a 2020 and have had a couple of strange issues electronically. The solution was a simple reflash. Problems solved for the last 20000 miles.

Go to the REALTRUCK website and look at the Gator SR1 cover. Pretty good pictures showing the way it mounts and the difference in the clamps. I am very happy with mine after 2 1/2 years. Still looks new.

I have a gator and it installs on top of the box rails and not inside. To me it is a better setup as it does not take any interior space.

I took mine in for the recall and spent nearly 5 minutes waiting for it to be completed. They didn't even need to take it into the shop. Work was completed in the parking lot. Probably four of the five minutes was shooting the breeze with the service people. Not a great deal of time involved.

I know that it would seem like a lot of coincidences but, it sounds like a gas issue if nothing else has changed. Put in a fill of the best gas you can find and see if that solves the issue. Around my home area you have you be very careful what you are buying as the alcohol content has been...

If you had it in for this issue while under warranty there should be no problem repaired under warranty. Dealers have the option to do this if they see fit.

Is it always at the same pump? If so, use a different pump and see if the problem goes away.

Don't

I was told this when I bought my first 4WD back in 1985. I don't think most dealers even think about this anymore. I am in rural Minnesota and I think they are more aware of these procedures and to this day my dealer will occasionally mention it.

You need to shut off the traction control. It is made to reduce power when engaged.

Do you have any idea what really might have happened to this truck. I would guess that it would almost be impossible for a truck to be made this badly let alone have the factory ship it like that. It would seem like more is going on here.

By their very nature those tires are going to take extra gas. Highway tread would probably improve mileage by a couple of MPG.

We have all become way to spoiled with our trucks. All of them are very good compared to the old days. Things like the fancy radios with wireless interfaces to useless social media have nothing to do with the goodness of the vehicle. My first truck was a perfect example of base functionality...

I live in southern Minnesota where there is usually plenty of ice and snow. I use the OEM tires and use nothing for additional weight. The way it comes from the factory works just fine. (2020 4X4)
