tenths of gallons, so 260 on a 26 gallon tank.

My 2016 had a 26 gallon tank. When I'd fill up, I'd reset the "consumed" counter and know exactly how many gallons I had left in the tank at any given time. More accurate than a percentage. In the 2016, my fuel range would flip to "LOW" when I still had 4 gallons in the tank. It was very handy with that small tank and towing the camper. Not quite as important with the larger 36 gallon tank, but would still love to know it.

One thing I wish the 2024s have that my 2016 had is "fuel consumed." The ScanGauges of the past could also track this so presumably this new one can. I'd rather know how many more gallons I have in my tank than a somewhat arbitrary E------F bar graph...

Been almost a year since I got my Silverado HD gasser also, and there are things I like and things I don't vs my 2016 half ton Denali. Based on the lengths of these lists, it seems like I don't like my truck. That's not at all the case. The likes are mostly big things. The dislikes are mostly nits. Anyways... Likes: Towing stability with a large travel trailer. No brainer this should be better. Driving in strong winds or winding mountains is far less stressful, as is semi truck interaction. Transmission is excellent. Braking has become excellent over time. The cameras! Man, the cameras are awesome. The 6.6L gasser. I thought it was gutless when I first got it, but it's really woken up as it's approached and passed 10k miles The screens (more on this in the dislikes session though too). They're clear, bright, and intuitive, mostly. Wireless Android Auto The towing mirrors are fantastic Exterior lighting. We sometimes launch the boat in the dark, and all the illumination from the mirror lights and bed lighting is really nice, when I remember to turn it on. The power up-down tailgate is a huge hit with the DW. I'm actually glad I got it vs the multi-pro. Trailering app, light test, trailer profiles, etc. Very intelligent design and useful for someone like me with multiple trailers to keep track of. Dislikes The grade braking/auto parking brake is the most annoying thing on Earth. It kicks on at the most inopportune times when going to hook up a trailer when backing up a sloped driveway. To hook up my boat trailer on my sloped driveway, I used to put my 2016 in reverse, and use the brake pedal to adjust my approach speed when lining up. The stupid logic of the 2024 will automatically bring the truck to a complete stop while inching back, and won't let it roll again until you touch the gas. The only way to hook up a trailer on a sloped driveway is to drive with two feet so you don't lose the split second going from gas to brake. There's no way I've found to turn this system off. I HATE HATE HATE this... When I got it, the trailer brakes would just randomly stop working. I live near mountains. That was fun. Fixed this with a module update and a diode on my travel trailer. Sometimes the tailgate just decides it won't open using the rear switch. I need to use the button on the dash or the keyfob to get it to open. No, it's not locked. What was wrong with handles and latches? I have a weird chirping noise at low RPM and light throttle loads. Will have dealer look into this. Sounds like it could be exhaust chirp, or a knock. Doesn't seem belt-related. Yes, it's a HD pickup, but the ride should be better. I don't expect it to match the MagneRide in my Denali, but the Z71 Ranchos stink, and it'll rattle your teeth out over square edge junk and handles dips in the freeway like a pogo-stick. I don't think the Ranchos have any rebound damping at all. Related to previous, the TPMS warning threshold needs to be adjusted down (for better ride). 70 PSI is too high. Per Michelin's specs, 50 PSI all around should be all I ever need for my towing, and a better ride. Infotainment screen is laggy with Android Auto, often requiring several taps, presses, etc to get it to respond. Strangely, the less powerful system in my 2016 had none of these issues and was super responsive. Gauges should be upgradable via third party updates. The stupid bars are useless for things like temperature. I want numbers, not random bar gauges. Also, a transmission gear indicator would be nice. Size. Seriously. It simply doesn't need to be so comically large. Parking it sucks, even with the nice cameras. If GM made a truck that's the size of a half ton Denali or AT4 but with 2500 lbs of payload, half ton steering rack, 6.6L gasser/Allison... I couldn't give them my money fast enough. They'll say "but nobody bought a Titan HD..." Well yeah, it's a Nissan. Ancient steering setup. GM already beats the others in ride and handling with the superior IFS setup. Rack and pinion steering instead of old school tractor tech would be sublime. The seats were better in the 2016. The 2024s are less plush, so much so that my wife sits on an additional cushion in the new truck. Collision warning forgets when I configure it to use beeps instead of the seat buzzer. I'll be backing into a space and the seat will buzz and scare the crap out of me. I'll set it to beep, then it'll randomly set itself back to buzzing a few weeks later. Like Rancho should be embarrassed to have their name on those shocks, Bose should be to have its name on that sound system. It's OK, not great. I don't expect it to sound like the Burmeister in my wife's Benz, but I think the 2016 sounded better and had more adjustable range.

Just to be clear, is this the case with the truck off? When the engine is running, I have resistance and not all that slop, just wondering where that slop all goes when I start the truck.

You shouldn't get warnings at those levels. I think if you go below 60 in the rear, you'll see a warning. I like to run 55 on all four corners when I'm not towing the camper. Roads here in Arizona are great, but lots of places we camp, not so much. Just about rattled my teeth out around San Diego and Orange County last week.

Nice. Need to find someone local to do that for me or find a shop that rents them. Will ask the dealer but don't know if they'd be willing to do that.

Is it normal on these trucks to have so much slack in the steering when shut off? I know these things use ancient pitman/idler arm front ends instead of the excellent rack and pinion setups of their half ton brethren, but I don't remember having this much slop in my last pitman/idler setup. This truck is less than a year old and just rolled 10,000 miles, the vast majority of which is going in a straight line with a trailer attached. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Wciq7T2CQMnxCAjU8 Video at link.

patiently waiting for someone to make one of these for a 2024 system. Would love to adjust down my TPMS. I don't like the empty ride when aired up above the TPMS threshold.

I've had it before where the tailgate won't open if it feels like there's an obstruction inside or if something is pinched. Very annoying when that happens as I have to pop the side of my tonneau cover just enough to get my arm inside and flip the trigger to release it. I dig the power up-down but sure wish there was a manual backup.

AT4 should fit. AT4X probably won't. I have a 7' garage door with a 3/4" trim board and a weather strip and my LTZ clears by about 2 inches. AT4 would clear by about a half inch less due to the very slightly larger tires.

Mine does the same. Doesn't matter how long it's been running, but if I'm going 40-50 MPH and am on and off the throttle lightly while coasting, I get the same chirping sound. It goes away with a bit of throttle or a downshift so I don't think it's belt-related. Was going to take mine in also for this.

I pull my TT up the mountains in Arizona when it's 110+F. I'll drop the speed down to keep the RPMs between 3500 and 4000 and it seems happy there. I've seen trans temps hit 210F, which, historically, would scare me, but that's how these things are designed to run so I guess I'll just run it. I do plan on changing the fluid every 20k miles or so.

I'm wondering if mine is chirping from the same area. I started the truck with the hood open yesterday and it actually sounds like the sound is coming from underneath and towards the rear of the engine compartment.

This is a lukewarm start, but it's much more noticable on cold start. Hear the chirping sound? I also get it at light throttle applications if I'm coasting around 40 MPH and on and off the gas. Distinct chirping sound that can be heard in the cab. I don't believe it's belt related as engine load seems to make it disappear. Anyone else dealing with similar? https://photos.app.goo.gl/VTtedVjAzwjzfB3C6

It'll do the job. I'll get terrible gas mileage and rev a lot, but it'll do the job. I've seen plenty of gas trucks with large 5ers and toy haulers out here in the west.

I've towed several times post-update and haven't seen a single problem.

My 6.6L gasser gets worked pretty hard towing in the mountains in the Southwest in the hot summers. I've had it less than a year, but so far, so good.

In photos, I thought "eww." In reality, I thought, "I kinda wish I had some of those on my truck." They're not that bad. But the $3500 option wheels are by far the best GM offers...

I don't believe my dealer required an error message before ordering and installing the updated (older) part.

They're offering that on remaining 2023 inventory, which is pre-update and very very slim pickins. If you saw that on 2024 models, I was gonna be grumpy... lol

I was able to save a couple grand on a virtually identical truck when I bought my LTZ vs the GMC SLT I was cross shopping. In the non-Denali and non-AT4 level specs, I think the Chevy actually has a nicer looking front end, provided you get a black bowtie. Had a Denali before, thought I'd have another GMC, but ended up in a Chevy, and I love it except for the stock wheels.

Unladen, the 6.6L hustles along just fine. When towing a heavy camper, it's not gonna win any drag races but it does well. If you're happy with how the 6.2L moves your TT in the mountains, the 6.6L will be similar. They both like RPMs.

Going across the southwest in the summer with the camper in-tow, I'd let the truck run while filling up with the wife and dog inside. I did this because the RV lanes at Pilot/Flying-J don't have any sun protection, the fill times can be long, and the truck can go from cool to really uncomfortable in a matter of minutes. No issues in the 10 or so times I've done that with my 2024 and my previous 2016.

Mine flash on lock or unlock also, but when turning, the animation works. I notice it when I'm behind another vehicle with a tailgate.
