  1. @Garystruder I think it did for a while but the problem came back. I took it in at the start of the year since I knew my 60k powertrain was expiring. The dealer said it would be covered and GM would rebuild it for free. I was fortunate though, the dealer included a 100k warranty when I bought the truck and I was able to get a new transmission (see this thread: https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/263709-2020-chevrolet-silverado-1500-8-speed-shudder/#comment-2647696 ) Anyway, I have the new transmission, I wouldn't say it's smooth, but the shudder is definitely gone. Still had shift when she's cold. Good luck!
  2. It should be in Settings->Apps-Audio->Auto Volume:
  3. Not working for me either. If I look at the debugger in my browser I get a 200, but it says it can't find my VIN: Mine is 2019 as well.
  4. I'm ok with the square wheels (though I prefer they don't) but what I will never buy is a vehicle where the steering wheel isn't centered with the drivers seat. I couldn't get past that!
  5. Update on my truck - the tech was able to reproduce the issue and has ordered a "tear apart" of the transmission (under warranty thankfully). I'm glad they didn't dismiss it as a fluid change. They're booked so I won't get in until next month I guess I'll update again late Feb....
  6. I'm assuming the process the dealer does is this: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10218882-0001.pdf I dropped my truck off this morning, they said they're going to test drive it and see if it's fluid or something else. I should know this week.
  7. Mine's going in tomorrow, 52k miles on it. I'm wondering if this would be covered under the power train warranty or if the transmission change is part of routine maintenance. I'll see tomorrow.
  8. Ford non-turbo. There's really no other option. RAM - Reliability issues (yes, all trucks have them, but RAM is notoriously bad) . Nissan - Might not be around in a few years, especially the Titan. Toyota - Old ones were reliable but had terrible gas mileage, new ones are still too "new", so maybe in a few years. Honda Ridgeline - Just on this list to ruffle some feathers :D
  9. Do you know if this can be used on a truck without maps? It says update. I have an SD card slow and a maps button, but my truck didn't come with the SD card. Here's what my build sheet says:
  10. "Better" in which way? The most important thing with CBs is the antenna. Personally, I like the president radios, but they're a bit higher up in price. They make some ultra compact ones though. My advice is narrow down to budget, features that you want/must have, and focus the rest of your money and research on a good antenna. Good luck!
  11. A lot of "preppers" are in to radio comms (ham and CB), so there's been an increase in the sales of them I'd say in the past ~5 years or so. Or maybe that's just my observation
  12. If it's real, I like the front but dislike the bed. Looks like an avalanche with the sidewalls. Makes the bed less-usable IMO. I don't think it's a real photo, the silhouette on TFLs upcoming video doesn't show that:
  13. Same here, I've drove almost 1,000 in the southeast with the ham radio on 146.520, I never heard anything. CH 19 on the CB though, is pretty active. Especially if you get near larger truck stops or in the city. It lights up during any traffic jam.
  14. Do you have any info on how to do this? Mine is "sticky" at times, maybe I need to make an adjustment. TIA
  15. @Transient I ended up putting mine on the bed rail near the drivers side cab. I can unscrew it when needed (parking garage or car wash). Probably not the best for reception, but works fine for my use.
  16. Thanks @Silverado 4x4 the TSB you mention looks exactly like the problem I'm having. I'll going to mention it to my dealer.
  17. I'm interested in this too. I have an LT with the larger radio (Sirius XM, HD radio, etc), but my trailer setup only includes the light test. I checked and I don't have the module, it sounds like it takes more than just buying the module, maybe a flash from the dealer?
  18. Don't sweat it Chris, we all do dumb things with our trucks sometimes. Anyone here that says they haven't isn't being honest An expensive mistake, but a good story (when the pain wears off).
  19. They don't have the stuff in your screenshot, but I saw that have some accessories that fit the current silverado: https://builtrightind.com/pages/product-result?rq=yr_2019~mk_chevrolet~md_silverado-1500 anyone have an experience with the "Tech Plate"? I'm wondering if I could mount it on the underside of my arm rest lid (like in their pictures).
  20. Android auto is fine, until you don't have reception. I know you can do offline maps, but it's also much quicker to just click the nav button and pull up a map of the area. My father has it in his truck, it's super handy when you're somewhere you're not familiar with, but didn't plug your phone in. That's why I'd love to buy the SD card.
  21. Is this the only way to get nav now in the silverado if your truck didn't come with it? I have an LT, and i have a nav button the bottom left (near the climate/audio buttons), and when I click the nav button now, it wants me to subscribe. Is the SD card option completely out?
  22. From my understanding, sport mode (and trailer mode for that matter) changes more than disabling the auto start/stop. I believe it changes shift points too. Many (including myself) have purchased this: https://www.autostopeliminator.com/collections/gm/products/2019-silverado-sierra-autostop-eliminator Yeah, it's $100, so that's up to you to decide if it's worth it to you. For me, it was.
  23. If you have a sliding rear window, try sticking a towel between the cable guide thingy and the glass. If that fixes it, here's a permanent solution that worked for me:
  24. Not here either. I'd like to have the "app" plan (for streaming music) and maybe live maps for more rural areas, but their prices are pretty insane. Other than unlock/starting my truck, it doesn't offer anything that isn't on android auto.
  25. Hi @AaaaaaaayushI've always wired my CBs to the interior accessory panel too, however, behind the passenger fuse block there's a circuit board - somehow it got fried and I had to replace the whole thing. I have the old one that they replaced I can take pictures if you're interested. I've been doing radios & CBs for 20 years, never had an issue, but I'm not going to risk it again I bought a relay that I'm going to wire in to the passenger fuse block to activate it, and then go right to the battery for the juice. We'll see how it goes!
