Oh, and I too still have the original battery. I do put the factory trickle charger on it once a month for a day or two...

Knock on wood...
You have 10k on the new pump. Glad it's going strong. How was the install?

2018 ZLE, bought brand new, getting ready to hit 41,000 miles. Daily driven, modified with JRE125 flex fuel package at around 12,000 miles. No issues thus far. Still on original battery, brakes, and oil pump.

Pretty sure it's just a software hiccup. Never had any battery issues, only replaced due to age. Rather not have an issue if I can avoid it since I daily mine.

That is great to hear, especially about the oil pump.

I have a 2017 ZL1 from the very first production run of 6th gen ZL1s in October of 2016. My car has a little over 15K miles on it. Other than replacement of the OEM paper air intake filter with a high flow Green filter and removal of the rain/snow blocker, my car is all stock.

The only problem in nearly six years of ownership has been a bad bearing in the supercharger idler pulley. It was replaced under warranty. My ZL1 still has the original battery which tested fine at my last oil change in May.

Seemed to go Ok. I only stopped by the dealership once to check it out while they were doing the install. Was only without the car for 4 days.

Under the circumstances, that went well.

I was thinking about a throttle body. Have you noticed a performance upgrade?
