In the end, it is just a car......but a damned nice one! It'll be like the girl who got away, you'll never forget her, and over time your yearning for it will be even better than the car really was. Only thing worse than selling it is if it got totaled in a wreck cause then you wouldn't have...

Or perhaps it was.

In general, true of most personal items i.e. clothes, belts, shoes, etc. unless they completely fall apart or are totally unusable.

My vote is take it to Safelite. They'll examine, give you best advice and an estimate for free so you can make a proper determination of best course to take.

Just have to say you are one of the most gracious respondents on this and other threads. Lesson to all.

Close, very close. About as close as I ever get.

Not a knock, but given the man hours and moolah invested in your build, brought my smile for the day.

The only thing this reminds me of is "ask a dumb question, get a dumb answer".

Since oil consumption concerns you, it will also concern whoever you in turn sell it to unless you can document your's doesn't. Regardless, they seem to still sell. If you can pick up a 2016-18 with a replaced motor likely won't have an oil consumption issue. No one knows what percentage of...

This. All you guys suggesting these wonderful, insightful, and erudite evaluations are great but probably beyond most of our abilities without experience, a shop manual, multiple trips to Harbor Freight, and a dedicated helper. What would be most helpful is if someone knew a shop near him in CA...

Instant classic. This must be a reproduction, but having never seen it before, makes my day.

Hard to believe there is no paperwork on the service. Not that I doubt you but not something a service department should not have some paper/computer record of so would double check. If you can't get it, then can't be certain 5w50 used and filter torqued to spec nor which filter used, so would...

Will add my 2017 Avalanche Gray, black roof, black stripes owned since new, now 72,500 miles and hibernates every winter. Agree it would be interesting but of doubtful significance to know how many original owners of these earlier years still own. My guess is as a percentage probably higher...

Nothing to add. You hit it on the head. Either check cold, or remove the dipstick wait 10-15 minutes for oil to drain out of the tube and then check level. I prefer the latter as checking after warm up is what I believe was stated in my 2017 manual but that's just me.
