Not to be left out, GM had to get in on the recall fun Ford and Dodge have been having…

Good question, I feel the same way and wondered the same thing. At least no flashing 3rd light on the rear, that is extra annoying!

Re the gear shifter, it is better than the alternative. My Silverado trail boss was loose, so I could see it bounce up and down out of the corner of my eye while driving over bumps in the road, and it annoyed me to no end. Good riddance trail boss, lol.

FYI, I was in the habit of backing up and connecting the 5th wheel, putting it in park and leaving the truck idling when I plugged in. More times than not, I would usually see the same message. I read here somewhere that turning the truck off, open the door so the informant shuts off, then plug in. Since I’ve been doing this, I have not had that nuisance message… Hope my good luck continues!

Thanks guys, sounds like the best thing to do is take it out on an hour long road trip every month. I appreciate the advice!

Summer is here, and using the Silverado every month or so for towing the 5er. I also used to use it for long work trips to avoid the hassle with charging stops with the EUV every month or so throughout the winter. Now, I purchased a new Blazer for work trips cause the 2500 was too big and was a parking hassle at my destinations. Long story short, the truck will be only used 3x a year in the summer, and the rest of the year it will sit in the garage. So the question is, how often should I get it out on the road and run it for an hour or so?

After about 5 hours on the road, I am ready to setup and have a cold beer. My regular get-a-way has a lot of congested traffic areas along the way so I'm ready! People pulling into the following distance space you are intentionally leaving and slamming on the brakes drives me bonkers...

Good choice with the body color bumpers!

Bah, 23's still have the tiny informant screen, which is what I have. Trying not to look at the 24's.

I am with you 100%. That is an awesome system, and I too would LOVE to have it!!! 10 years ago I would have traded in my new truck to get it, but I guess I am getting older and wiser.

You are on to something about the big city dealers taking longer... I go to a small town dealership and programming recall work has always begun on my truck within 5-10 minutes, and done in a couple hours or less. The exception being the shock recall that took 4 hours along with an oil change and couple other programming recalls I did not know it needed.

Thank you, that will satisfy my curiosity!

So, I went in to have the front shock absorber recall done (N222364680), along with an oil change and they said I had 3 other recall items to complete which I had no idea about. N222376580- Power assist step reversing N212356230- Font camera module inoperative N212351210- ECM OBD faults not detected I was not having any issues with the truck, and now I hopefully won't lol. Anyone have a clue what the fixes were for, just curious?

Amazon had my plain jane color by GM. I see they have yours in a different brand... Those chip marks really show up on white, don't they?!?

Yes, sometimes happens to me with the 5th wheel attached. If it is on, I stop at the end of my street, turn off the truck, open & close the driver door so the system powers down then restarting. Doing that seems to knock some sense into it. I thought it had to do with plugging in the trailer while truck was running, so have been connecting with truck off. It only does this when leaving home, and not when hooking up for my return trip so trying to see what I am doing differently at home versus the campground... I agree, it is annoying!
