I usually fold the mirrors in when I park... Keeps them out of the way... Started having issues a couple years ago, more frequent now... Especially when it's cold out (cold in this case is like below 50)... Right side mirror won't open. Close again and sometimes it will open 2nd try, sometimes 3rd.... If it happened all the time I'd have something I could troubleshoot, but intermittent is much more difficult to track down. Anybody had issues with this? Thoughts? 2019 Sierra SLT

Did a fluid change in both the Transfer Case and the Transmission (8L90) on my 2019 Sierra SLT 5.3... Transfer case takes like 10 minutes - take out 2 plugs - very easy to get to, replace the drain and fill, replace the fill plug. bang zoom done. 8L90? Take the pan off to drain - can't get the pan off, exhaust in the way... fill plug on top (was a bear to get back in).... Just seems they *could* have made the transmission more serviceable... or maybe I just like complaining

I have never had it aligned... Just put new tires on a few months back at the Dealer (they had a sale going on) - but didn't ask for an alignment.. truck only has 46000 miles... I'll go get it aligned

Recently I've noticed a distinct clunking noise usually when backing out of the driveway and turning - usually feeling something in the steering wheel... sometimes sounds like it is coming from the back, but feels like the front... Thought maybe front CVs, boots all look ok - but I noticed the camber adjustment looks like they maybe have moved on their own... and certainly don't look like they are symmetrical Should I just take it in for an alignment? Something else I should be looking for? Thoughts? Thx (2019 Sierra SLT 4WD )

Back in 2019 when I picked up my 2019 Sierra SLT I wanted a bed cover - ended up with the Extang Xceed - I liked it because it was a hard cover, but had a vinyl coating to make it look solid... looked really nice... fast forward 4 years, and the vinyl has shrunk, peeling up along the edges... doesn't affect the function but looks pretty ugly... luckily, I discovered, the Xceed came with a 5 year warranty! So I sent some pictures in, and they offered me a replacement choice of the BAK MX4, or the Extang Solid Fold ALX... I requested the MX4 since on the ALX, the 3rd section doesn't fold up.... But pretty solid customer service - responsive, no hassles... :)

5.3 L84. Lots of people doing lots of different types of driving with their trucks... 25mph average on mine, 52.5 mph on yours...

Truck rolled 1000 engine hours this week... I'm sure its not the first one

I usually close my mirror in when I park to avoid anybody hitting them... but went out today and the passenger one wouldn't come out - even after hitting the button a few times. It can't be manually opened - at least I was too afraid to put any more force on it... After a bunch of times it did finally open... Anybody seen this? Anyone know how to open them if the motor won't?

Well, it happened again - but this time I watched it happen - Got in the truck, and a progress bar started on the screen - moved really quick up to 99% then sat there for a few minutes. I got tired of waiting so I drove off. Both screens not showing anything useful. A couple minutes later the progress bar finished and it boot up with the Cadillac logo! very strange... finally came up to the normal screens, but radio presets gone again, most things reset to factory. After shutting it off and restarting, came up with the normal GMC logo at least. I'm afraid to take it in - they'll just charge me to tell me nothing is wrong... but I can't keep having it reset every couple of months...

Headed out this morning, noticed all my Sirius XM presets were gone - FM presets were still there. Then, a few hours later, my wife took the truck, and she said nothing even came up on the screen until she was all the way down the block, and it popped up with a notice that it had been factory reset. Now, everything is gone - all radio presets, audio settings, etc... Anybody seen anything like this? V807 (just checked) - dated from 2019, so doesn't look like a new update.. 2019 GMC Sierra SLT

Honestly, I rarely use my truck for trucky things... but when the city offered up free compost, I was all over it Drove over to the lot where they had a nice pile of super smelly compost/dirt (bed still smells like a dairy farm 2 weeks later)... shoveled a bed full... took it home, shoveled it out... Now, my tailgate is full of dirt/compost. I've pressure washed the thing, through some of the exterior holes, etc... but there is still dirt rattling around in there. Do I just need to be resigned to have dirt in my tailgate? Is this my badge of honor for using my truck like a truck?

Ok, so I slapped these puppies in on Friday, and I can concur - while normal driving doesn't seem to be affected, any bump has a noticeable change. Speed bumps, where the back end would bounce 3 or 4 times, now does 1 bounce and done. So much nicer Now I need to do the fronts - might pay somebody to do those so I don't have to mess with spring compression....

I recall this being a topic a couple years ago - GM took away the ability to get Text notifications with the standard infotainment. It is a stupid removal if you ask me. Only workaround that I have found is to plug in and make sure Android Auto is loaded - then AA (and I assume CP) will provide the notifications.

Such a rebel!

Ok, so I know this has probably been answered in this thread (or elsewhere) - but I can't find it now... There are varying opinions around the web - but which way do you install the 5100s in the rear? Boot side up, or down? I would think with boot down it would hold all the gunk in there since it is an open boot... so Up makes sense, but I read a lot that say boot side down... Then I read make sure the label is right side up... I'm so confused...
