If you are still concerned about the regens, you can always get a Banks or Edge monitor, and it will tell you the status of your DPF filter (soot level) and when regen is active. I use the Edge Insight CTS.

"31 is amazing.. are you driving 55 all the time? :D" No, as you can see from the photo, my average MPH was 37. My commute is mix of city/highway/freeway.

I switched tires again. At times, the Coopers had such a rough ride at freeway speed like everything was shaking. Sometimes, the ride would be smooth, but you never knew what kind of ride you'd get, and this was traveling on the same roads daily. I took them back three times to get them balanced...

What I would really like to do is have the grille painted the same body with the black emblem. But then again, I'd have to remove it which would be a PIA plus I don't want to screw up my PPF on the front.

Switched out the front and back chrome badging for the blacked-out ones. I was procrastinating doing this due to thinking I would have to remove the grille for the front badge. Found a super easy way of replacing it without taking the grille out. Will do the side badging at some later point...

Congrats on the new truck and welcome aboard! I don't tow anything currently, but I have used use Timbren-like absorbers in a previous truck, and it certainly helped. If I tow in the future, I'm more inclined to get air bags though. As far as diesel additives, I've tried both Opti-Lube XPD...

Hmm, I'm not having any issues using Apple CarPlay with either cable or Bluetooth. I can listen to music and see my maps at the same time. I feel the same about Google but they are probably locked in contractually with GM so don't think that can happen unless you can hack into the system.

The same Color I had on my F 150s. This time, I went Stormfront Gray on the Siera 1500.

Welcome aboard!

I haven't tried it yet. I'll try to remember tomorrow.

Do you have a link to such article? There was an article written last year about the discontinuing of the LM2 which was the predecessor to the LZO. The LM2 was still being used in the full-size SUVs for Chevy and GMC. They have since switched over to the LZO.

2025 is not the last year for the 3.0. Read an article about the upcoming 2027 modal which will have the 3.0 as one of their engine options. I have a 2024 Elevation and it runs great with no issues. 11,600 miles.

No, renewable diesel is not the same as biodiesel. Renewable diesel and biodiesel have different chemical compositions. Renewable diesel is a much cleaner fuel to use than biodiesel. Unlike pure diesel, biodiesel is a mix of diesel and biofuel. The most common biodiesel is B20, which contains...

I try to find renewable diesel when I can. It's cetane numbers are supposed to be in the 75 -90 range. I can find it at the local Circle K and 76 stations. It's the same or lower price than diesel #2

I don't have a diesel fuel Hydormomiter so I haven't checked mine. I use Opti-Lube XL and XPD to raise cetane and lubricity when on road trips. At home (western Oregon) I always fill up with renewable diesel which is supposed to have higher cetane than diesel #2. I've been using XL for...

That's the price for the basic oil change. Tire rotation would be extra. Thinking about inquiring at the local Chevy dealer to see what they charge.

Geez, I need a new dealer. Mine wants to charge $200.

If I had the space to change my own, I would. I would not trust a quick lube place to change the air in my tires. Just say'n.

140%? Never heard of that happening before. Mine always kicks on at 100%. It's a good thing you're tracking it. Good idea for the dealer trip to figure out why it's doing that.
