  1. You do know that Canada, just like Mexico, is not actually part of the United States right? So any opinions about "outsourced" vehicles and parts from one is the same as the other, considering they're all part of the USMCA.
  2. I think the higher the trim, the worse the seats are. I have gone from a '21 High Country (full leather) to a '22 LTZ (partial leather) to a '24 LT (cloth), and the seats have gotten more comfortable each time. I also sat in a friends '21 1500 AT4 and his seats were rock hard, so it's not a Chevy vs GMC thing either.
  3. I have a '24 2500 LT, and I noticed that it started doing the same thing a couple weeks ago when it got a lot hotter out. I've had the truck since November, and hadn't noticed it before, but that may be because it wasn't hot enough to care. FWIW I had a '21 2500 High Country and a '22 3500 LTZ, and I don't remember either of those trucks doing this ever.
  4. Ended up getting a call after a few days that the new module made it in, much faster turnaround this time. Took my truck in on Wednesday and the new module fixed the missing camera guidelines and grayed out camera options.
  5. Got a call late last week saying the module had come in. So I took it in today to get replaced...and then the dealer called an hour and a half later to tell me that GM put the wrong module in the box. Turns out the box it came in had the correct part number, but the module had a wrong part number and won't work. So they ordered another one, hopefully that one doesn't take 4 weeks to come in as well. This will be attempt number four to fix the failed camera module, smh.
  6. I only had the initial free month of the WiFi hotspot. My issues started once that initial trial was complete, but I don't know if that is just a coincidence.
  7. Well here we are almost 3 weeks after my last trip to the dealer to fix the camera issues, and I was just informed today that the camera module is back ordered. This issue, combined with the fact that my wireless Apple CarPlay won't connect the majority of the time I start the truck, is starting to make me question GM's commitment to quality. These SW issues should have never made it into the field.
  8. Ever since my Onstar data trial ended my phone doesn't automatically connect to Apple CarPlay unless I disconnect the phone from the truck and then reconnect...very annoying.
  9. I haven't had the issue with the T/S's not working, but I have had my truck for about 5 weeks and I've noticed that the animated headlights don't work (at least not that I can tell). The lights just flash when I hit lock or unlock, just like any ol' regular light. I've had other electrical issues too, my camera guidance lines have never worked and I have a blue hourglass in the top left corner when the cameras are on. I have taken the truck into the dealer twice for the camera issues, and they can't fix it even with GM tech help. They now have a camera module ordered to replace the one in the truck, hope that fixes the problem.
  10. Almost the same truck I just picked up yesterday. Mine is a 2500 instead of 3500, but has most of the same options. I have the sunroof, bucket seat, and 5th wheel package, but didn't get the extra battery and alternator, ACC, or camera mirror.
  11. I have a 39' 5er that is just over 14k lbs dry, 2100+ lb pin weight, and GVWR over 16k lbs. When I stayed in-state in Michigan I had no problem pulling it with my '21 2500 HD gasser, even on trips of close to 200 miles. However, when we made plans to start taking it out of state (Georgia, Texas) I decided to move up to a '22 3500 HD dually diesel. Pulling through any kind of mountain elevation, like in West Virginia, I knew I was going to be happy to have the diesel and the extra stability of the dually. Overall I was seeing about 2 mpg better in the diesel than the gas when pulling that kind of load, and about 3-4 mpg better unloaded. Granted I went from a CCSB 2500 to a CCLB DRW 3500, so the truck weighs more and is even less aerodynamic.
  12. Ordering for 2024 Chevy HD's has been open for months, and the trucks have been hitting lots since some time in March.
  13. I stand corrected, just looked up the owner's manual. I don't have the feature on my '22 LTZ, but I did have it on my '21 High Country, and I thought it was only the FCA. I guess I never got into a situation that required the automatic braking, but it is good to know the feature was there. I think I crossed up my thinking because of the Lane Change Alert only being a warning, and is not the same as Lane Keep Assist.
  14. Was this in your '21 HD? I'm fairly confident that the '20-'23 HDs don't have AEB or IBA, only following distance indicator and forward collision alert. These are just alerts (seat vibration, sound, and lights, if equipped) and don't actually provide braking assistance.
  15. Good to know. I wonder if it is tuned differently with increased hp and torque, similar to what the 1500's have been doing since 2014.
