mmmkk. Sean, where in the world did you run power wire on your truck?
That needs loom on the underside otherwise you should expect problems. Just so you know NBS trucks have a nifty little hole pre-drilled by GM and a groove in the rubber footboard to run the 1/0. This with carpet is 100% completely unnoticeable.

No promises on everyone else looking like this, but my 2002 does and took me just a couple of minutes to run. I ran it over the deadening and the ensolite in case I ever want to alter it. GM was nice enough to just use that black tar stuff to seal the hole which I reused to hold the grommet in place and seal everything up. The door grooves are sweet for the speaker wire as well.

Found this on FSC and all I can say is... You're a fuckin Liar!!! :P

Of course when I need luggage there is none on sale. That is something I will never buy regular priced. What a rip-off.

I seriously don't think I was blessed with this grommet of 1/0 Bliss

And my truck is a damn 02 Z71 just like Sean's :wtf:

The Cadillac likes the 91 octane fuel too, I only get ~21.5mpg on the highway with 87, but ~24.5mpg with 91.

Something is wrong with your foot then. Lower octane should always yield better mileage and more power provided the vehicle can run on it. It may just be that is was designed/programmed to run on premium and you're now learning that. Higher octane gasoline has less energy and is harder to burn as well.

Actually, from what I've read Premium has slightly more energy content, but is more stable.

But yes, if your vehicle was designed to run on regular it should do as good or better on regular.

What is wrong with people complaining about asking prices on my f/s ads ? If you don't like the price, move on.

I'm 99% the Caddy is supposed to get 91. It was probably pulling a ton of timing while running on the 87.

I get better mileage on Premium fuel as well. Reason is that they use 10% ethanol in all 87 octane fuels here, but none in the 91/92 octane premium fuels.
