Must be nice to be rich like you guys. Ha
I don’t have the seats but the remote start. Got lucky the programming was there just had to get the fobs. It’s seriously a GAME CHANGER in my opinion. Not just good for winter. Aftermarket add on kits came down quite a bit in price the last time I looked at them

What is this "changing oil" you speak of TANSTAAFL? My car is the limited addition which comes with a self-lubricating chassis. Seriously, I haven't changed the oil in the 5-6 yrs I've had it. Just add another quart once a month or so. Almost 300,000 miles and still running strong. Why mess with an obviously perfect system?

What kind of Chrysler made it 300k miles? That's pretty impressive. Is it as big as a whale?

I am a let it idol until its warmed up guy

Even on the older cars and trucks I drive back in the day, climb in, start turn on heater/defroster, let it idle until the ice or snow melts off.
Climb in and drive.

One thing I like about the silverado I have now, is that remote start. Even from inside work, hit it and finish wrapping things up, clock out, get to the truck, its toasty warm, heated seats are warm, steering wheel heated up, shes ready to drive. Same with in the morning when leaving for work.

My last car...a 98' caravan was still running strong under the same conditions at 370,000 miles when I sold it in Washington, and moved here. The current car...a 2001 Chrysler T&C (the same car) is currently at 275,000. Same conditions. Never an oil change, just leaky seals and add oil occasionally.

That's nearly unheard of. You have some luck with vehicles.
