Took the 2500 out to do some towing; bought a ‘21 XT5 with 0 and I mean 0 tread left at a Genesis dealer.

Clearly was a miss by their intake team but otherwise the XT5 is solid and still under the factory warranty. Had to tow it over to the Cadillac dealer I mainly work with as the ice is still on the roadway from the previous nights storm and 0/32” isn’t exactly road legal.

Ended up making a killer deal as they wanted to at least sell 1 car that night.

Finally got around to adding an airtag in the 2500; working on some other measures to ensure it doesn't go anywhere but if it does at least this will let me find it.

Too bad OnStar didn't supply a 3G to LTE/5G module for the older cars, would have certainly upgraded.

It's up in the dome lights for anyone wondering; I wanted to ensure it was high enough that phones in the vicinity could contact it and also make it difficult for someone to find.

For others who may have implemented something similar; just found this product which claims a 10 year battery life for the AirTags.


While I haven't had to replace the battery in my 2500 yet I've ordered a set and plan to hide the tag a bit deeper in the vehicle. The key is to get the AirTag as high as possible without the possibility of it being found.

Thanks for the link!

Passed state inspection today on the '07 and I'm thankful to have an honest shop. I thought for sure I had a failing lower ball joint because the dust boot has been cracked a while, and I saw grease around it the last time I crawled under there. So I'd asked him to get his eyes on it and give me an estimate to have it replaced. He called and said it was just grease that got squished out the last time I had an oil change and lube, and that the boot was still intact with no play in the joint. Thank goodness for small wins because we've had some other expenses lately and I didn't feel like doing the job this time around, either.

Dropped of my rig for the yearly state safety inspection (only 2+ months late this time... im getting better). Had to fix the torn driver's side underseat airbag sensor harness, and tighten up my parking brake. But, let's see what they come up with to try and fail me this time.

I'm also toying around with the Tech2 clone I have, and learned about the idle speed adjustment options. That was neat.

Can you show us or tell us how you did that?
Yes, I'll go out later today and take some photos and/or videos.

Keep in mind it could be a fluke. I connected the Tech2 to my ECU using the 2008 6.0 LY6 option. I didn't use the OEM 2014 5.3 LMG option (well, 2013, because my Tech2 software only goes up to 2013... must be a Silverado thing) and perhaps that's why?

Either way I'll take some pics. It wasn't very complicated. I was messing around with trying to do the crank sensor relearn, but got distracted, and still have the warm/hot start stumbling issues.

So the Tech-2 talks to the 2014 if you change the year to 2013? Have always wondered but never had the opportunity to test it out.

Yes, and also when I select 2008, GMC, Truck/light duty, C, 6.0 LY6...

I believe the 2013 and 2014 Yukon SLT 5.3 are functionally identical.
