  1. It's a big deal. I understand GM wanting to monetize that data, unfortunately i have yet to see an infotainment system that worked as well as CarPlay, and I'm confident the Android folks will soon tire of paying GM for access to the Android apps already on their phones, and that they are already paying data plans for. Adding AppleMusic as an app to the GM environment where I still need to pay for data access is a non starter for me - I already pay for one data plan and don't see how it makes sense to pay for another one. I won't be buying a new vehicle that does not support CarPlay, as long as there are alternatives (Body on frame like my 1500) that I can purchase when the time comes. I think it's quite a misstep by GM, I wonder if they will come to their senses. It will be weird to not be driving a chevy vehicle after 40 years of owning them.
  2. https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls is a great start point.
  3. I'm sorry GM Customer Service, but my 2021 Silverado will be my last GM Product. Even with the Apple Music app, I'd still be required to use your in-car wi-fi, and I still would not have access to Apple Maps and Messaging, which I use daily in my truck. CarPlay/AA support is a "have to have" for me when I buy a new vehicle.
  4. Diameter is pretty close, its the width that might give you problems: 275/50-22 305/45-22 Difference Diameter inches (mm) 32.83 (833.8) 32.81 (833.3) -0.02 (-0.5) -0.1% Width inches (mm) 10.83 (275) 12.01 (305) 1.18 (30) 10.9% Circum. inches (mm) 103.13 (2619.46) 103.07 (2617.89) -0.06 (-1.57) -0.1% Sidewall Height inches (mm) 5.41 (137.5) 5.4 (137.25) -0.01 (-0.25) -0.2% Revolutions per mile (km) 614.38 (381.76) 614.75 (381.99) 0.37 (0.23) 0.1%
  5. In my specific case my 2021 6.2 (Built in February, not part of the recall VIN Sequence in the recall) engine was replaced with a reman. when the engine failed at 26000 miles. So, I can report that they do not always replace with a new engine.
  6. Things will pickup when we have more info around the next gen Trucks, and we can have endless discussions and excitement (and 2nd guessing and GM bashing)like we had back in 2018/2019.
  7. You can't do it - the 2024 Is on the "Global B" Electronics platform, its a completely different and non-compatible protocol.
  8. I take it the revelations that Lexus/Nexus was sending that data to insurance companies was a liability too great for GM to consider. I received this email yesterday: From GM: Dear bwoodsmn, We are reaching out to inform you that we are discontinuing the Smart Driver service on June 26, 2024. As a result, you will no longer be able to access the Smart Driver features in your myChevrolet mobile app. No other OnStar services are impacted by this change. If you have any questions, please check out our FAQs here: Smart Driver FAQs. Sincerely, OnStar Member Services
  9. I own a 2/21 build, 6.2 - 20,000 miles, over half towing a 5k RV, and no problems. So, from my sample size of 1, you'll be fine. OK, so, you are on a Silverado forum, and of course, people are quick to post about their problems, so you are in the right place for folks to chime in about how bad their engines are. I rarely post to say how happy I am with my truck - who'd read that? I will say the lifter issues have not reached the point of a recall, or a successful class action suit, so the numbers, while noticeable, have not reached those action points. Lifter issues have hit all years, unfortunately - but at a rate that's been discussed on this forum to be less or around 2% of the engines built. Of course, if you own one thats failed, you would argue that number is too low. I knew about Chevy lifter's when I bought my truck and I bought a drivetrain extended warranty. I'd suggest you do, too. Good Luck finding your new truck!
  10. No, they are different and are not cross compatible.
  11. Michelin Defender LTX is a solid all-season tire in 275/50r22.
  12. This reads like something from ChatGPT What device are you writing about?
  13. In a 2021, you would need to have an IOT level radio, with Nav, to see the Map tile in the split screen. It is GM Nav only, you can't drop Google Maps or Apple Maps into that spot.
  14. Here's what I have learned, after researching the same question for several months. The 22" wheel does not allow for a lot of sidewall, so there are not as many All Terrain options as there are for say 20" or 18" Tires. Nitto has several options in 305/45r22 that fits, according to several threads already started (hint) on the subject. BFG KO All Terrain does not fit without a front level - as they only do 35/12.5/r22 in that size. With the lift, the Upper A Arm has very tight clearance, still might need a spacer. The BFG option would be the Trail Terrain TA, in 275/45r22. There are also 285/55r22 and 285/55r22 options that fit. Happy hunting!
