  1. Looked underneath it and see no reason why it should not be working. The tilt function works fine. Will definitely be taking it in to a dealership as soon as I get a chance to.
  2. I have used these in my tractors, but not in my truck. Pretty sure the supplemental on the duramax suggests not using additives with the exception of one they say is ok. Cleanest diesel around here is the stuff wal mart and coop sell. Exxon's are the worst, had loads of issues with the tractors after using exxon diesel and on more than just one occasion.
  3. Yes, an lt. Have the allstar edition and convenience package 2 as well. It listed on the packages that the truck is supposed to have tilt and telescoping wheel. I am 6'2", would be nice if it worked, but I am getting maybe a 1/4 inch at most, I don't want to put more force on the wheel than I have tried already.
  4. Assuming you are getting a p0300, moisture can cause issues with ignition systems. Have had issues with the cap and rotor on my 98 k2500 with a 350 a couple times, random misfires and lack of power. Every time it was moisture or corrosion inside the cap. If it were mine, especially being that testing the ignition system is pretty simple, I would go back to that if you have not already. A simple inline spark plug test light can be a very helpful tool for diagnosing weak or lack of spark to rule out issues. Based on what you say you have done and not done, I am guessing you have not already checked.
  5. Funny how they respond sometimes. Let us know how they handle it. Sounds like they should replace the pads and check the rotors to be sure no premature wear due to improper pads.
  6. Read this article yesterday. Honestly think some of these features build over confidence in some folks that probably have no business pulling a trailer. I mean come on with the better mirrors available and rear vision tailgate mounted cameras do you really need a jackknife warning indicator. How did we ever pull and back trailers before all this tech......
  7. On the head unit, you have two knobs. The one on the right should have a check symbol in the middle of it. Press that button, and it should bring up the audio options. From there you should see the option to change speed setting volume control.
  8. What is the brake wear monitor showing? Probably would not hurt to call the dealer and see what they have to say.
  9. If you press the check button on the right, it will give you the audio options.
  10. AND KEEP them charged. I have bought several over the years, one of the first gifts I gave my oldest daughter after she started driving. Every once in a while sams club runs the stanley fat max 1000 amp starter for like $59. Had to use it a couple times on my tractor in cold weather and it rolled it fine.
  11. Might check out nexen tires. Good tires that are not overpriced.
  12. Not familiar with that engine, but if it uses coil packs and an ignition module I would check them. What cylinders are you getting the misfire codes on? If you know what cylinders are misfiring and they are on the same coil pack, swap that pack and see if the problem is on the cylinders you swapped it to. If the misfires are still on the same cylinders, more likely to be the ignition control module. Some of these gm systems the module can be taken out easily and tested at stores like autozone. If on a distributor cap system, check the cap and rotor.
  13. Is it in park? Gate won't open in drive or reverse with the truck off.
  14. Not saying I agree with the dealer, but at least if you check for yourself you can know if it is or isn't the issue. Just saying what I would do if it were mine. Of course your issue may be an intermittent glitch.
  15. There is. I have adjusted mine, but off the top of my head cannot remember exactly the steps I took to get into it. I lock the doors before I remote start, get the short honk when locking the doors. I have not tried remote start without locking the doors first.
  16. My lt has both the console storage and the lockable under seat storage. My truck does the convenience package 2, however the storage was listed as part of the allstar edition package. Guessing lt models without the allstar or texas editions do not include the storage package unless it is ordered with some other package.
  17. How much does it telescope? There is no movement in or out on my wheel with the lever down.
  18. Dunno, but if you have a meter you might try checking the voltage on your battery at night and then again in the morning. If your truck has 2 batteries check both. See if there is a difference and how significant. Then do the same again with the steps dc/d for one night. See what if any difference there is in a drain. If there is a significant difference there may be something wrong with your steps interface that is draining the battery.
  19. Before I washed the truck last week, I noticed two streaks on the back glass, one on each side in about the same place on each side. They were gone after washing, so I figured they were on the outside. Going to have to check into this with ours. Build date for our truck was 8/20, hope the problem was fixed before our truck was built, but would not surprise me much if not.
  20. With just shy of 900 miles, I honestly have not really dug in to all the maintenance intervals yet, but I would agree about the trans for sure. I am not a fan of the idea of not being able to check the level and color. All the more reason I am exploring options for an extended warranty. The grease fittings being dry sure does not give a good feeling about qc either. I looked at the rear end the other day, but did not pay attention to where the fill plug was located, surely it has one and is able to be checked?
  21. My 2020hd is supposed to have manual tilt and telescoping wheel, however to this point with the lever under the wheel I have not been able to get it to telescope in or out at all.
  22. Thanks for the information, I had not checked into that, but definitely will.
  23. The leather seats in our lt are very comfortable. Have lower back issues and the 8 hour drive home after buying the truck was not at all uncomfortable. If I was in your situation and money was not a concern, I might check into a katzkin option. I am eventually going to do the katzkin leather conversion in our impala to replace the cloth.
  24. You may want to make sure with your dealer what they can get you. I had to have them confirm for me before making a decision to go in a different direction. I was in a similar situation. Local dealer first said they could order it, then they could find it. Bottom line was that they could not get the truck we wanted, said they could work out a trade, I kept finding trucks on the chevy locator only for the dealer to tell me they could not work it out. Got frustrated with the dealer. Evidently these trucks and the backup for lost production from shutdowns has the 2020's in short supply, and so dealers are not trading them to other dealers. I actually had a better equipped truck than the one I bought found exactly how we wanted it just 2 hours away from home and the dealer I was trying to work with cost me on that one by not being straight with me. We ended up going to Ohio almost 8 hours away to get our 2020. I located the truck the day it showed up in transit and worked out a deal and put a down payment on it over the phone a day or two later. The closer truck had a couple options I wish I had in our truck. I asked a different local dealer about ordering us a truck and they told me orders would be for 2021's at this point and would be 6-8 weeks out. Also said that pricing and rebates would be with what was at that current time when the truck arrived. That was about 3 weeks ago, so I am guessing unless something has happened to dramatically change availability of 20's, that you would be buying a 21. She also told me that the current promotions are likely to be much better price points than when the 21's start to hit, which I already knew.
  25. Had a strange issue happen here with my new truck last week. Was sitting in sam's club parking lot, picked up a online order that was brought out to me. The girl used the scanner right outside my passenger side back door while loading stuff. Then I went to start and nothing. The truck would not recognize my fob. Ended up taking a few minutes to figure out to put the fob in the pocket under the seat and get it going. Guessing in my situation the scanner the sam's employee used must have somehow interfered with the system in the truck and put it into security mode. Electronics systems on these trucks should not be this fickle.
