  1. I don’t believe there are any differences that would prevent them from working. I read that TB/AT4 got new upper control arms on 2023s but that doesn’t affect you.
  2. Thanks I’ll probably try it tomorrow and see what happens.
  3. What exactly are you looking for?
  4. I have that also. If the truck is shut off while playing an XM channel, the next time I start it “loading audio” is displayed with no music playing. This happens about half the time and will sit there indefinitely until I switch the channel. I haven’t done and kind of reboot myself, but I’m assuming the dealer has. I would guess that when they do a software update it reboots. All minor issues I know. More of an annoyance than anything. Still issues none the less that I plan to make them fix. We’ll see how long it takes to get a radio and if that fixes it.
  5. I’m still dealing with this. After I posted this in September, the last thing the dealer said was they’d have to replace the radio. I assumed they had ordered parts and would call me when they came in but apparently not. They never called and I just kind of forgot about it because I don’t listen to the radio that much, figured I’d get it taken care of eventually. I was kind of holding out hope there would be another software update rather than have to replace hardware. I had an appointment for a separate issue in early February so I asked them to revisit it. There was a new software update at that time which they applied. It put my problem back to where it was when the truck was new (prior to the first update I got in September). The current state of the issue after that update is: I can set and use AM/FM favorites like normal. When I try to set a Sirius channel it sets to the tab most of the time, but the tab is completely blank. It does not display the channel name. When I try to press on the tab it just says “favorite unavailable” (90% of the time, some channels will actually work, seems like it depends on the channel and the day). I let the dealer know, they took a look at it again this week during another unrelated service visit to confirm that’s true. They have now actually ordered the parts to replace the radio, backordered with no ETA.
  6. The big truck nozzles fit in the fill tube of a 3.0 1500 just fine. Have you even tried it? You just can’t really pull the handle all the way for full flow. I just set it to the first click on the hold open device. Still fills faster than the passenger car diesel pump.
  7. Just curious where you’ll even get axles.
  8. My local autozone carries Mobil ESP X2. That oil is very available online as well. Were you just referring to the more recent additions?
  9. Agreed. However, also realize that a whole lot of people level their trucks without doing anything beyond an alignment.
  10. Should I be putting 15W-40 in my truck for the summer? According to this chart, the manufacturer specified 0w-20 isn’t good for summer temps!!
  11. A friend who got his truck in Early summer last year got this email.
  12. You can put an additive in if it will make you feel better, it won’t hurt anything. Any that advertise anti-gelling or cold weather use will be fine. At those temps you really don’t need it though and you definitely don’t need the block heater.
  13. While I believe it is possible to do, it’s not as simple as you may think. You can’t just add a front factory camera and have it work. There are other modules and programming (that isn’t available from GM) that are needed for that camera to work. The Video Processing module in your truck may not even have the port to plug in a front camera, I don’t believe trucks built only with a rear cam are able to accept more cameras. So, you may be looking at finding a VPM from a truck that had more cameras. You also have to get the programming on the aftermarket from a company like WAM, whiteautoandmedia.com If you want a factory front camera the easiest thing for you to do is trade in your truck for one that was built with it. Otherwise you’re going to be stuck with one of the aftermarket solutions like what @cwtech references above with a separate screen.
  14. It’s likely a 2022 limited which is a 2019-2021. Nice truck
  15. It’s likely not doable since there’s a good chance your BCM is not currently programmed to recognize and control it. That’s the case with most of these features. It’s either built with it or it will never have it since the programming is not available after the fact.
  16. I have a Silverado that’s Dark Ash Metallic. Same color as titanium rush. When I ordered there were only stock photos online. I was pretty disappointed when I started seeing videos/actual pictures and eventually trucks in person. It is unmistakably purple in bright sunlight. In low light it’s a blackish dark grey which looks pretty good. overall it’s a good looking color however Im still not that crazy about it. it has grown on me. If I could go back and choose again, I would have just gotten white. You need to find a vehicle and go see it in person. Especially when it’s sunny out.
  17. Yeah I don’t know, I didn’t save any links or anything and don’t care enough to look it up. I have without a doubt read post about motors failing and other general corrosion issues with the moving parts. There are videos on YouTube of people installing grease fittings after replacing worn out parts. My “lots” quantifier may have been slightly inaccurate but the issues are out there nonetheless. Not saying it’s a significant problem that every user will see, after all I ordered them on my truck. However I do think the amp is a superior product.
  18. Is that too high? I’m not sure it’s much different than any stock step. I don’t really recommend the the factory retractable anyhow. I wish I hadn’t ordered mine with them. I don’t think they look that good and there are lots of reports of them failing after a few years. I wish the factory steps were more like the HD or full size SUV retractable. Look at AMP Research steps. I think they come down a little lower when they fold out.
  19. I don’t know, I think his problem is more with GM service rather than the 3.0. They obviously didn’t fix the right thing or there’s another thing that’s causing the def injector to fail. If you kept having the same component fail over and over again would you just keep replacing it or would you look for the cause? There are enough of these trucks on the road and next to zero mentions online about def injector failures for me to know there’s not an inherent problem with the def injector itself. He’s got some other problem the “techs” reading the computer haven’t identified or fixed yet. Sucks for him.
  20. Well it’s certainly not for me, I wouldn’t consider that “classy” at all. I would assume most wouldn’t like it just based of the fact that you don’t see many white truck wheels for sale or on trucks. It’s obviously not “in” or popular. What matters though is whether or not YOU like it.
  21. There’s not. GM didn’t build in a way for users to disable it. Besides pressing the button obviously. There is a company selling a little module that plugs in behind the button. It essentially “presses” the button for you when the truck starts, turning it off. I’m not sure who the company is or if it works on the Refreshed 22.5 and up trucks. I never cared about it enough to look into it. AS/S doesn’t bother me.
  22. Wireless charging wasn’t in the console lid for pre refresh. It was up closer to the center stack. So no, the current location for the wireless charging slot is not the reason for deleting the tray from the console lid.
  23. The badge on the fender will say “CarbonPro” if you have the carbon bed. Also it’s not covered by a spray in bed liner (from the factory) like the normal bed will be on a Denali. Look up google images of a carbon pro bed and compare them to yours. If you’re still unsure, post a picture on the inside of your bed. Just an FYI more “hard tri fold” covers like Undercover flex, bakflip MX4, etc. are NOT waterproof. If that’s a must for you you want to look for one that specifically says it’s waterproof and avoid ones advertised as just water “resistant.”
