    Bilstein 5100 Shocks Installed on LM2 / RST Silverado

    Fuel cap mod

    On the capless filler neck there is a vent from inside to outside just below the flapper valve, If you try to top off your tank too much fuel will be forced out of the vent and on the ground. As for the warranty claim ? I have had mine on since the first month of my 2021, 36K no troubles at all.
