    Air filter and/or Cabin filter

    I second this. I also stick to the AC Delco engine air filter and have the K&N cabin air filter. This actually reminds me that I need to get a new recharge kit for it, LOL.

    GM - Surround Video Recording System

    I can sell you a Thinkware system that will allow you the ability to do this and will record 24/7. It is spendy and requires installation, but it will get you exactly what you are asking for.

    Transmission issue

    When I had my Colorado, I did a trans fluid and filter change on it. I used Wolf's Head fluid that I bought from the dealer. When the trans fluid got up to temp, I started having all kinds of shifting issues. I ended up having the dealer do a fluid flush and that resolved all of my issues. I...

    Air filter and/or Cabin filter

    I generally stick with the AC Delco engine air filter, The truck has a DIC parameter that tells you when it needs to be changed. I have K&N cabin air filter that I will clean and recharge about every 10k miles.

    CV joint has vacated the premises 💥

    I just happen to have both factory front axles just sitting in my garage with less than 7000 miles on them. Wish I had seen this when you were looking for one. Let me know if you want them, I will give you a much better price than the dealer.

    Turbo Overboost Code

    First, service writers are usually just that, then do not necassarily know the technical aspects of these vehicles, otherwise they would be in the shop fixing them. Secondly, in all likelihood, you probably had a momentary overboost signal thet may not have been caused by an actual overboost...

    Your first mod?

    i unfortunetly recorded two seperate occasions in which my Colorado had gotten hit. The second of which totaled the truck with $21K+ in damage. That camera is the same one that is in my Silverado now. No matter what you get, if you want to hardwire it in, you will need at least one add-a-fuse...

    Your first mod?

    I don't have any opinion on this camera. Personally I try to steer clear of these off brand units. These are electronic equipment and I want to make sure that I have the ability to contact the manufacture if I have an issue. I also did not have the need for a display on the camera. My intention...

    Your first mod?

    Honestly, there is nothing the Blackvue can offer over the Thinkware that is worth an additional $400. That is my opinion anyway.

    Your first mod?

    Sorry just seeing this, I have the Thinkware 700. I think this has been replaced by the Pro 720. Around $180 for the hardwired kit on Amazon.

    Things you learned about on your truck...

    That would be the correct timing for DEF fill. Per EPA regulations it is supposed to be maintained approximatly the same as the oil changes.

    Oil ads

    There are two rreasons that we use 0W20 oil. #1 Emissions, The EPA states that each manufacture has to have an overall fleet emissions number and one of the ways they get this is by utilizing thinner oils. we don't really need to go into how this works. #2 these engines are very close tolerance...

    Oil ads

    What exactly are you looking for it to do? Oil itself is a friction reducer. Anything that will increase friction in an engine will be because it is a solid that is suspended in oil.

    Voltage Gauge

    These trucks have a smart electrical system in them where the alternator output voltage will varie depending on the required load. it is totally normal for the gauge to show fluctuations from battery voltage ~12V up to around 15.6V.
