2nd fill up w/ the new vent valve installed. It fills a little faster than the last time but still not at par.
Upgraded from a 2008 Denali to a 2009 Eski

No gain on ending the restrictive fill ups. Time to go down the rabbit hole with possibly ridding the system of carbon canister pellets and all the other time consuming diagnosis related to this. Time to start shopping for an OEM fuel pump as the tank is likely going to be dropped. I refuse to drop this tank more than once in this decade due to a cheap, knock off pump.

Girls started school and working on getting the oldest her license. Both are in high school now and starting to thrive in spite of all the hoopla going on. This takes precedence over everything else like front sway bar bushings that just mooshed out. Taking Talulah to get groomed as all our bulldogs are included in the kids senior pictures.
I did find the ultimate solution for Video / Phone / Navi in motion / bypass. The White / BT Dieselworks OBD for $195 + $195 will get me an entire ****load of features plus the screen unlock in motion for the same price as the Barracuda VIM for $330.

*Grr, just noticed the DVD bypass only works on 2012-2014 with AutoSync product. It's also listed as an extra cost option on 12-14. Hopefully AutoSync will create a workaround for the 07-11 BCM. They're so close to hitting all the marks on this product, hope they find a way to add this feature.

DVD bypass only works on 2012-2014 with AutoSync product as discovered above. Emailed them for a possible/recommended workaround to add it or see if they have anything in development.
Off the AutoSync spread sheet, the specific features an 09 Esky Plat will pick up are ...
Manual high-idle control.
Control EFILive/EZ-Lynk switchable tuning from radio screen or driver info center.
Strobe lights mode Flashes all exterior lights in alternating pattern (engine off).
Show live engine-transmission data in instrument cluster/DIC.
Manually view rear camera while driving.
Read/Clear engine codes.
Program TPMS warning threshold.
Disable TPMS (if plugged into ECU)
Turn signal automatically triggers backup camera for 3-seconds
Add one-touch-UP Driver window. Plat Esky already has one-touch-UP&Down for both D&P sides up front.
Add one-touch-DOWN Rear windows. No one-touch UP feature as GM doesn't have pinch protection motors in back.
Auto mirror fold at shutdown/start-up.
Windows up/down from remote keyfob.
Radio / HMI VIN clear/reset (swap radios without a trip to the dealer)
Secur-Idle - (automatically locks shifter in park when doors are locked with the remote keyfob while engine running)

The front tires were wearing at both sidewalls prematurely again. It’s a side effect of the AWD tire scrub. While the front tires were off for rotation I could see daylight between the sway bar and bushing LOL. I’m pretty sure I’m going to handle the bushing replacement with a sway bar upgrade.
All four Magneride struts are blown and the rebound bushings look like crumb cakes. The rear main has given the bottom of the truck a good underbody protection and my fuel pump is in its last leg at 155k. The sender is also 1/4 tank off. This is all simple, routine maintenance coming up. A large majority of the cost has been already offset by savings from e85 use. I love this trucks predictability after owning it’s sibling truck, the 08 YXL Denali.

The pesky little carbon pellets are like termites that propagate engine codes.
Going through some of them that came up from the pellets and I remembered one or two of the little buggers I forgot to order that is known to throw a code for the Evap system ...
Vapor Canister Purge Valve Part # 214-1680 (below) known to eliminate code P0446. There's a group of four that should be replaced when Evap codes start. I just ordered # 1 & 3 listed below. # 2 & 4 have already been replaced as deferred / preventative maint and a path to clear the check engine light.
1) 214-1680 (Below) ACDelco GM Original Equipment 214-1680 Vapor Canister Purge Valve
2) 22963841 Charcoal Vapor Canister
3) ACDelco GT295 GM Original Equipment Fuel Tank Cap *
4) GM Genuine Parts 23287620 Vapor Canister Purge Valve Hose + 19257603 Vapor Canister Vent Valve Solenoid Jumper Wiring Harness
2009 - 2010/11 and 2010/11 - 2014 may have a different thread pitch on the gas caps. Verify your VIN to ensure you get the right one. Part # GT259 vs GT359?
This leaves codes ...
P1175 (Fuel Trim bank 2)
P0420 (Catalyst system low efficiency bank 1)
P0430 (Catalyst system low efficiency bank 2).

- The replacement OEM fuel pump will cure the bad fuel sender and should have been replaced due to age (150K mi + 13 years of use) It should also cure code P069E (fuel pump module), P0191 & P2635 (fuel flow). When I have less than 5 gal of fuel in the truck it sputtered on hard acceleration.
- The P0523 code is taken care of by the new oil pressure sensor.

My daughter saw the other CoPirate post and thought it was cute. She made me crocheted copilot for Father’s Day since I liked Marco’s sweater from a tv commercial. Making the dog in the sweater was too hard so I got a bee. I like the bee even better
