    Got off my couch and spent 15 minutes trying to understand what just happened.

    I watched it like 5 times, and I still cant figure it out. Its like a bad video game, bumps the back of the truck, does a barrel roll, and pops back on its wheels and keeps going.

  2. Its the solenoid that goes bad. Its the round thing near #4 in psualumni's picture. It sucks in fine dust, and eventually sticks the solenoid shut, making for the slow gas fill. You can take it off and clean it, or replace it, but that is a short term fix. GM's fix was to replace it, and run the intake up under the hood with a long piece of heater hose. Looks a little hoaky, but it works. You shouldn't need to remove the box or gas tank to do any of it.

  3. As a northerner, yes I would kill to have a truck that clean on the underside. Also, don't feel to bad about no sunroof, the factory ones are pretty cheesy. I have one, I'd rather not have a hole in my roof, but it was what was available. That being said, $21K is $5K over the cleanest of clean retail.

  4. That truck is long gone, no pics. I did have an '03 escalade that had the PCV hole, but the PCV itself was hollow. It was mostly full of oil sludge, so I replaced it, and the new on was the same way, no spring/valve or what ever is in there, so I got one for an older truck, and it went right in place.

  5. '04 was texas only, and I'm showing production @646. I think thats for sierra & silverado, but I'm not sure. '05 was available nationwide, I know there were considerable more, but I don't have a VHO VIN to run to see for sure. I've seen a prob a dozen come through the sales in the last few years, almost none had the badges. I don't know if they were never installed, got stolen, or the owner just peeled them off, but I've seen a lot more without than with.

  6. The lights are the same as the regular silverado, but they clip to the bumper cover instead of the steel bar. So the bulb socket is fished though the hole in the steel, and its nearly impossible to get from the back. You might be able to get unplugged, but you'd never get it back on. If you do happen to break the clip, you can pop the painted cover off, and swap it for the back off a black textured one.

  7. I had an HD truck with a 6.0 with mystery oil consumption. The oil seemed to form a mist, get sucked up the pcv tube(or whatever its called since there's no pcv valve) it would hit the back of the intake, condense and fill the back of the intake with oil. Once it was full enough, it would run down the back 2 cylinders, and burn(usually on start up). I put a PCV style valve cover off an older LS(99-02?) and that seemed to severely limit how much oil made it to the intake, and the oil consumption went way down.

  8. If you have the defrost on, the ac will cycle on and off to dehumidify the air, regardless of the temperature setting. I put a stretch to fit a/c of an 09 style silverado on mine and eliminated the idler and the squeak.
