I was going to just delete this post when I realized what a dumbass I am, but figured there might be another dumbass out there too, or maybe somebody just needs to laugh at my dumb ass. Apparently if all the doors aren't shut all the way, it won't let you lock them with that button. Didn't realize the wife didn't shut her door all the way and I'm out here mad as hell at this ridiculously expensive truck not working right.

My button on the door handle that locks and unlocks the doors just started acting up today. It will unlock the way it always has with 1 press unlocking just the driver door and 2nd press unlocking the other doors. But suddenly for some reason it won't lock them. Anyone had this issue before? Only thing done on it is I have the Pulsar LT, which has caused issues before but the issue it has caused has been the same every time. It sometimes makes every light on the dash come on and the only way to fix it is to stop and disconnect the battery and unplug the pulsar and wait a couple minutes and then put it back. It's only done that maybe 4-5 times in over a year though and mine was a demo one I tested for them. I doubt that would cause this issue.

I've got a sunroof and I DO have the same popping. I kept thinking an acorn or something dropping out of trees hit it, but then its happened several times with no trees around. I can live with it, but I sure would like to know what it is. The noise behind the back seat drives me crazy.

Exactly. It would also help tremendously if they'd have the adjustable seatbelts too.

Looks awesome. . . and like a very expensive endeavor

Did you need grommet pliers to get the hangers out or did they come out pretty easy?

yes either the brake is farther back (i.e. closer to the seat) or the gas pedal is farther forward (towards the firewall). No dexterity problems, it's just way different than any other truck (several chevy and gmc's included) that was like this.

no, hit the bottom side of the brake with my big toe trying to go from gas to brake because the brake pedal is like 6-7 inches closer to me than the gas. It's just a lot different than what I'm used to and it seems dumb to me that this feature is available on all the other big brand trucks.

No I'm well aware of how the adjustable pedals work. the brake pedal is too high/close to driver seat or the gas pedal is too low/close to the firewall. That's great you didn't need them, but don't assume what I think.

I realize GM took away the power adjustable pedals. For some stupid reason that was a corner they decided to cut. But is it possible to manually adjust either the brake pedal out or the gas pedal in? They are ridiculously far apart in my truck and i've had multiple times when I had to hit the brakes hard because I missed on the first try. When I switch my foot from the gas to the brake naturally my foot goes right into the side of the brake pedal.

Ok that's great but what's going on with the secondary resonator on the s-type and whatever that is on the atak? Almost looks like they keep one of the flappers or something. Also, I want to make sure I'm understanding correctly that the exhaust is 3.5" in (same as stock) and 2.75" SINGLE out (smaller than stock). Wouldn't that be counterproductive? When will sound clips be posted? Thanks

I've been hesitant to go this route because I've heard you lose bottom end HP and torque

true. did a bit of research after the initial post to realize the problem and potential solution. It doesn't require a complicated system. An app and the existing hardware are all that's needed. It's just going to take an app developer with a vested interest, hopefully an owner on here that sees this, to take the idea and run with it.

The tech is built in because you have what is basically a wifi router in the truck. You'd just need to create a local network. much like in your home if you have a wifi printer. if your computer and printer are both connected to the same wifi router in your home (i.e. local network) then you can print to that printer regardless of whether or not the internet is running. It's not new technology at all. And google released android auto wireless last year. There is a developer who has been working on an app that would use a amazon stick or device with wifi hotspot capability to do exactly this same thing, but we already have it built in these trucks.

Shouldn't matter if you continue the AT&T wifi plan. The wifi "router" is still in the truck and shouldn't require a data plan to connect to your phone. It could simply be used as a local network between the truck and your phone allowing you to use the android auto or apple play (or whatever it's called) wirelessly.

But our trucks have built in wifi. There should be no need for internet connection to transfer from phone to truck via that wifi connection, and that would be plenty fast to get it done. Sounds like OnStar can capitalize on it so they have to interest in making it work.

Why can't you connect to the android auto wirelessly? don't understand how it works I guess but I hate having to have a cord plugged in when there's bluetooth and wireless charging it seems like there would be a better way. Possibly something that could come with system update later? edited after some research. Still should be able to do it with built in wifi and an app that could be downloaded.

Anyone tried just covering the mesh "resonators" on the stock exhaust with the factory muffler? kind of curious how much of a difference that would make. I want the new corsa system BAD, but am having a really hard time justifying spending that much on exhaust

thanks! Guess it's kinda hard to guage from clips on the computer, but it doesn't seem as loud as I thought it'd be

Well don't I feel dumb! Good call there. Kinda hard to hear it when it doesn't exist

Has anyone heard or have any video of the AFE exhaust on the 6.2? They're calling it the Vulcan series and I can't find any sound clips or videos for any vehicle with a Vulcan series. That's the only cat back I've seen with 4" in and dual 3" out (not single out to a "Y")

Took mine in early last week. It's the actual grommets/guides that hold the headrest into the seat. They are replacing them on Tuesday, so hopefully that'll fix it. Another member on here had the same issue. If you really don't want to go through the hassle of all that, you could probably wrap electrical tape around the shafts that go in the guides a layer at a time until they fit tight and see if that fixes it.

There's been several complaints on here about similar things with the 5.3 and 8sp. I dont recall seeing any with the 6.2. It blows my mind that GM continues to increase the prices on these trucks when they already have a huge profit margin on them, and then lowers the warranty to 60k miles instead of 100k on powertrain. If they won't stand behind them for 100k miles, why are we all dumb enough to pay more for them? Things I probably should have thought of BEFORE buying one.

Yeah, it only did it between 1200-1500 rpm range if I was on a flat or slight downhill slope and lightly touching the gas. Unfortunately where I live and work there's a lot of driving in those conditions. It would even do it on the interstate though. You could feel it in the floor, pedals. Steering wheel, and center console. Almost felt like running over some very worn down rumble strips or rough grooves in the road. The first several times it did it, I looked at the console for my phone because I thought I had left it on vibrate and it rang sitting in the top cutout there in the armrest part. I took it to the dealer and he said it was normal and was just where it was going into v4 mode. I explained that this doesn't have AFM like the 18s and doesn't go into "v4 mode". That was at 600 miles. At 1300 miles I took it back and the same tech admitted that my truck was the first 19 he had even driven and that he wasn't that familiar with DFM and how it worked exactly. I said if its normal, we should be able to go out and get in another new one and it'll do the same thing. Drove another, and it did but not nearly as bad. Obviously not normal in my opinion. They had no clue, so I contacted GM who was not helpful at all. They escalated my case to a lady that would only call me in the evening when i wasn't available. I would return their call during normal business hours and leave a message explaining I was only available during those hours. Then they'd call me back that evening. Went on like that for over a week and I got sick of it. Ate a huge loss trading it in on a 6.2, but MAN what a difference!

Guess I'll add mine. Nothing special, but I love it. Lost my tail on the P.O.S. RST I had for a month with the 5.3, but I'm glad I have this one. At least it doesn't vibrate and feel like a cell phone vibrating in the center console every time its between 1200-1500 RPMs
