  1. Awesome! The double handle pull works well and is easier than finding the lock button in a dark black interior. Thanks for the help guys.
  2. I have a 2017 2500HD LTZ. I do not want the doors to auto unlock upon selecting Park because of the possible safety issue of someone being able to enter your vehicle. I prefer that the doors unlock upon ignition shutoff with allows the driver to park the vehicle and be able to look around to be sure it is safe to exit the vehicle. So far I have not been able to get anything near what I desire except to disable autolock and manually unlock the doors. As I remember by 2007 1500 had the feature I desire. Thanks
  3. Due to a dealer error on my order my Silverado 2500HD came with the standard folding split mirror. After educating the dealer parts manager that the power folding trailer mirrors do exist they were able to order them and get them installed. Having driving about 176K miles with my 07 Silverado 1500 I would in hindsight have just kept the standard folding mirrors. For the amount towing I do they would have been fine and my wife and I wouldn't have to contend with the negative side of the bigger mirrors
  4. For the rear view I get I love the big power folding trailering mirrors but Chevrolet screwed the pooch on the design. They block your vision. If you aren't extra diligent looking around the mirror they can easily hide a car as crossing traffic and pedestrians in a crosswalk will magically appear. I suggest Chevy just lower the height of the mount about 1 inch. They can reduce the height of the lower fisheye about 1/2 inch or so and probably take about 1/2 off the upper mirror as well. Drop the mirror housing top down 1-2 inches and it will be much less of a hazard.
  5. ImBroke, Go back and tell the dealer to get his out out of his ass. It's a simple software change to reduce the brightness of the back up monitor. I'm pretty sure someone has linked to the file #.
  6. On mine it was the buckle taping against the plastic trim piece. If I'm solo I just faster the passenger side belt to keep it from rattling. Took me a year to figure out where the rattle was coming from!
  7. Snowshovel how's the camera system working out? Any issues with dropping the signal from the wireless camera? I'm assuming you have the Intellihaul Echomaster system?
  8. When I bought my gasser this year I at first ordered a diesel truck then didn't sleep for two nights because I just couldn't justify the need for a diesel, wasn't going to be towing that much. Love the look of the Duramax truck, always kind of wanted a diesel but I got $10K smarter and changed the order to the 6.0 gas motor.
  9. I also have the flex 6.0 in a '17 2500. With 3400 miles on the truck now my lifetime average is 13.5 (hand calculated but the DIC shows the same numbers). Normal driving for me is about 35 miles of highway at 70mph with 10 miles or so in city traffic. On highway trips I've seen as high as 17.5 when driving 55-65 through rolling/mountanious terrain. I expect better once long haul, at least until I hitch the trailer on.
  10. Geez, nice price! I paid 3100 for an ARE Z series, keyless entry, LED strip lights, glass rear door with slam latches and liner on inside. A Leer would have bit a bit more. Alaska prices. I like the removable front window, had that in my Leer on the 1500 and no problems with it. Also had sliding window that wouldn't stay closed. On the ARE I did not get the slider. Only leaks I've had on either cap is around the tailgate or the hatch/tailgate seam. Tailgate seal has solved leaks around the gate, working on getting the hatch sealed completely. I still get a small amount of water in around lower corners of hatch.
  11. Back to the dealer again! This time to exchange the GM in channel wind deflectors. After installing the deflectors I noticed wind noise on the drivers side that I couldn't resolve. Determined the driver side deflector was "loose" in the channel but passenger side was a snug fit. Pulled them out and compared, the drivers side is about 5/16" shorter. No wonder it's loose and leaks air. Really hoping it won't be a hassle to exchange, then of course they won't be in stock so it'll be another two weeks waiting.
  12. I had the truck in to finally get the correct mirrors installed and asked the service guy if it was possible to reset the TPMS alert level lower in case I want to run with lower pressures. He took that as an order I guess and when I picked the truck up all for tires were at 48-51psi (no two tires had the same pressure). He told me that the tech had "tried something they'd never done before, when we test drove we didn't get a check engine light or TPMS warning". Great, I'm a test pilot guinea pig!! It seems to be working okay, still no TPMS warning. I did notice however that now when I check the myChevrolet app it shows the recommended pressure for all four tires as 50psi instead of front 60/rear 70.
