    What is this symbol on camera screen?

    So I guess a couple questions are. If you leave the thumb drive in does it record every drive and like a continuous loop for two to three hours of recordings and then start throwing off the old stuff as new stuff comes in? Kind of like a continuous two to three hour cycle of history? That would...

    What is this symbol on camera screen?

    I think it's been discussed before but it I could just add a thumb drive and record on the front camera ...I'd be interested in how that would operate and what I'd have to do to enable it.....

    What is this symbol on camera screen?

    I believe that this is it. I just did an upgrade a couple days ago and I bet it could have incorporated the recordable driving camera software. Whether that is actually available or not may have to be investigated. Having a front recording driver camera, it would always be a benefit if it kept...

    What is this symbol on camera screen?

    No camera available? Seems to be working fine, just started seeing this today on the 25. Did an update about 2 days ago....

    2021+ Transmission Service

    Do they not "not" recommend flushes per se and just fluid drains and refills? I have heard that actually flushing fluid through it may do more harm than good.....

    Dipstick readings (different at 90 degree rotations)

    On my LM2/LZ0 it's 7 out and 7 in measured. Hardly ever look at dipstick... maybe once a month. Always full, always right at top of stick all the way thru 5K miles....

    2026 Tahoe with 6.2, im all good?

    All the PICO test did was buy them some time so that they didn't all fail at once...It never was about "Preserving" or "Saving" your motor. Just prolonging its eventual death if it didn't fail the test.....

    What’s the consensus on the Duramax reliability?

    There are dealers in Florida that offer the same thing. But the big twist is you have to bring it to only them for maintenance and you have to do it at a more aggressive schedule than recommended by the OEM. If you miss one lick on their requirements..... the warranty is void. Meanwhile they are...

    PPE engine oil pan first oil change

    As a previous LM2 owner, a simple Fumoto valve on the stock pan solves this problem in a New York minute. Tube runs from valve right into recycling container no fuss no muss in about 10 minutes.

    Weather Radar Over Navigation Map

    MyRadar app w/in GMC apps sucks. Doesn't show watch boxes or warnings, doesn't show time loop movement of storms, doesn't post or alert you of any watches or warnings you are driving through. A few levels of expansion or contraction. There's gotta be something better out there but I have no idea...

    First 5,000 miles

    A light tap of the throttle and you are on your way. If I'm on a hill, I much prefer MY control of the turn off, not putting it in drive and potentially immediately rolling back upon brake release. Simple and predictable, really.....

    Updated Gas vs Diesel Engine and Resale Value?

    I highly doubt this. It isn't about saving money. Does replacing engines save them money? Somebody just forgot to put the parts in. It's just that simple. I'm sure they've had a lot of 6 Sigma guru consultants and Kaizen events to poka yoke this process.... :)

    Wow at the Pump

    Updated Gas vs Diesel Engine and Resale Value?

    It's seeming more and more that it's only a mess if you are missing one and that seems to be getting less and less attention anymore. If you are all put together you are and have always been in as good of shape as any LM2. This problem, while a problem if you have it, is nowhere near in the...

    Oil for 3.0

    Fuel filter is good for at least 20 to 25K. I've put a Fumoto valve on both of mine. I run the tube right into the recycling container. Not one drop spilled and it drains it in about 10 minutes or less. Valve is tucked up under the cross arm so there's no real possibility of it getting hit by...

    Updated Gas vs Diesel Engine and Resale Value?

    You may be giving GM too much credit here. I think they just pull these parts from a big bin and stick them in and when the bins empty, they bring them another bin. If it was really done like the way they build aircraft engines you are issued a specific number of parts, the correct amount of...

    Wow at the Pump

    That sign more than likely means that they are out of that gas.. not that it is 9.99 a gallon. We have that Rec 90 fuel around here and it's about two bucks more than regular, but it doesn't exceed the premium price by more than a buck 50. It's not that special.....

    Updated Gas vs Diesel Engine and Resale Value?

    It would be pretty sad if this would really be the case of somebody just missing inserting both of them. First of all their parts counts would have had to have been way off because they should be issued in sets. Unless somebody slipped them in their pocket and took them home there's gotta be a...

    UOA and Filter photos of L87 time bomb.

    You can pile up all the evidence you want. The only thing the dealer is going to say is run until it breaks. The $60 question is when's it going to break? In your driveway or on I-75 at 83 miles an hour on your way to Disney World.......

    Updated Gas vs Diesel Engine and Resale Value?

    If you are ripping through miles like that you are wasting your money on that stuff. I've heard more negatives about it than I've heard positives. All you need is pure DEF..No additives.... Other than at a dispenser there is no cheaper place than Walmart.

    Updated Gas vs Diesel Engine and Resale Value?

    You need to be shopping at Walmart. 8.50 for a jug of DEF. I use about 3-4 a year. They get it in by the skid loads daily. It's never anywhere near close to being old.

    Updated Gas vs Diesel Engine and Resale Value?

    Unless you're towing, DEF won't cost you $50 a year. I don't even know why people mention it. The positives of the LZ0 far away are greater than the potential negatives of any 6.2 in existence.

    Oil for 3.0

    And on the Duramax forum DemonWorks had a thread where they tore down 106,000 mile 3.0 Duramax that had 8000 mile oil change intervals on 0w-20 DexosD all it's life, and its wear surfaces bearing journals and thrust bearings were absolutely pristine. I quit watching these videos long ago. I...
