This article applies to the Chevrolet Silverado 2007-present. Owners expect their trucks to accomplish these tasks without complaint, while also expecting them to endure, as the average age of a full-size pickup is now more than 10. The subject vehicles may have a transmission oil cooler line that is not securely seated in the fitting. In the affected vehicles, the chassis electronic module may be internally contaminated, resulting in an electrical short.

Welding on the passenger airbag inflator may fracture when the airbag is deployed, allowing some gas from the air bag inflator to vent behind the instrument panel, instead of into the air bag. Both MyLink systems feature intuitive and easy-to-operate controls for major functions. The 2014 Silverado and 2014 Sierra make the most of the technology, with improved engine mounts, electronic throttle control, adaptive exhaust systems, improved aerodynamics, low-rolling resistance tires, and other technologies that help the engines operate in four-cylinder mode for longer periods of time, further increasing efficiency.
And I've always used quakerstate for everything from vehicles to tractors but now I'm thinking maybe synthetic but don't know enough about it to switch. Most 2014 Silverado models feature MyLink with a 4. Pro Tip The oil from the pan can squirt out a foot or more so be careful and adjust where you place the catch pan at.

But you can also rotate the air in your tires every 500 miles and buy new tires every 20,000 miles too. More than 100 iterations of the combustion systems were evaluated through computer modeling before a final design was selected for each engine variant. Like Terry just said, too much oil and you risk the crank splashing around in the oil which causes foaming. The mounts tune out both up-and-down and side-to-side movement for a quieter and more comfortable ride.
So now I am torn on what to do. That's like a 45 percent increase on the 5. The nnbs take 6 quarts right?
