    Made my first several modifications.

    I did most of those same ones too early on. 👍

    Automatic Emergency Braking Problem

    I turned that feature off before leaving the dealership. I’ve driven several GM products with that feature and it ALWAYS flakes out at the most unexpected times. It’s another nanny state over reach feature that is WAY not ready for prime time.

    Still “rare” in NE PA

    This is probably the thing that puzzles me the most… You are driving along at speed, the only vehicle on the road in either direction, and someone turns right in front of you forcing you to slow way down and lose energy. Instead, the guy could have waited ONE second for you to pass and then...

    20 mpg in city on a 6.2L V8. Love it.

    Nope, that was all Rt. 78 East in NJ from Bloomsbury to Newark Airport. So mix of NJ hills, coastal plain and rural traffic with Metro-NYC urban traffic. Maybe I had a tailwind!

    Still “rare” in NE PA

    Picked up muh truck at the PPF installer yesterday and he was asking about the ZR2. He noted he hasn’t seen many come through his shop and was appreciating the exterior stance and interior finishes. And this is a shop that does high end vehicles primarily. Separately, I really like how the...

    Yup, really can’t complain about the fuel economy for such a heavy vehicle with large displacement small block V8. 😎

    What have you done to your Silverado ZR2 this week? 🛠️

    Had Xpel Ulimate Plus PPF installed on the leading edge of hood/bulge, headlights/foglights, front bumper and side mirrors. This is the fourth vehicle I have had Xpel installed on. The install is flawless - not a single error or speck of dust under the film. Very impressed with the install...

    2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 zr2

    Honestly, you should schedule an appt with the dealership to look at it. These things are so complex now that there isn’t much diagnostics you can do on your own for an average Joe. My CEL came on at 1500 miles and of course I assumed the lifters gave out. My dealership got me in the next...

    Oil leak after 3K miles in oil change

    Oil leak from where? Filter? Drain plug? Could happen if not gasket/o-ring slips or plug/filter not tight enough. Or are you saying oil is leaking from someplace else?

    CEL after failed remote start

    So, the CEL was off when I started the truck the next day. Must have cleared itself overnight. This was on my way to the dealer who was able to schedule me same day. (Hat tip to Brown Daub Chevy Service in Nazareth). Service advisor said there was no CEL light on so there isn’t much they can...
