Pale Rider

the external CD player would plug into the USB port. I normally would carry 4-5 discs in a small case at a time.

sadly I agree. After seeing a bunch of video`s and reading complaints on the web, Nice bozo move on GMs part. good grief.

has anyone here added one of those external CD players work being plugged into the USB port? I have the basic radio in my new body style 2019 silverado. No XM, no Nav, and no CD player. I would like to add cd player bc I have hundreds of CDs, Thanks.

good to know. I have this and uninstalled the device bc body shop had to run scan tool and resets, and I didnt want any issues. Does anyone know what exactly fails the readiness tests? maybe the AFM delete or stop Auto start?

finally had the chance to pull the wheels and have a look. I have never ever seen that the rear brake pads wear faster than the front pads ever. The Front pads look even and normal for 32xxx miles while the rear inboard pads showed 3/16, and the outer pads about 3/8s thick on both sides... WTH! sensor is so close to the rotor if not touching. before this system alerted me, I had 89% life and no 3/16 inner pad left... everything else looks normal, except the rotors a bit rusty, and appears to be of CHEAP metals. Is this due to the electric rear calipers (e brake) or is it just a ****** system?

I physically checked the brakes when the new wheels were installed before the winter season, I would have to say the brake pad monitor was accurate with the fronts being @ 82% and the rears @ 89%. As mention I was simply in cruise mod of the freeway when the info stated to Service Brake pad monitor. When I have a decent weather day I will pull a wheel and have a look...to me this just seems that something is in error. A battery disconnect did not reset anything.

I would say it has not, I have owned it since 2021 with 3, 056 miles on it. And to my knowledge It has not seen a GM dealer for any updates or have I received any information on this.

Hello All, while driving at a steady speed with the cruise control on, A message came on the info center saying" Service Brake pad monitor" I do scroll through my information every time I`m behind the wheel and the last reported pad wear was 82% front and 89% rear. Why would this message pop up on my screen all of a sudden? TIA mileage @ 326xx

going to be a delay on the install, heavy work load currently, and NO shop locally will install this for me because I bought the parts... wow...

Thank you Naughty Donkey. yes, alignment afterwards. release all other connections for slack. The steering rack tho had me questioning it. RC says it does something to the steering rack when disconnecting the tie rod ends. I`ve never heard that before. I`ll update when I`m finished. Thanks!

Hello Folks, been awhile, boating season is over here, except for another sbc engine build. Gives me a bit of time to focus on the Silverado. A few questions for you good people: I am installing a set of loaded front struts, and new upper control arms: Why would I need to disconnect the battery for this install? Why would I need to disconnect all 3 connectors for the electric steering rack? Now what exactly happens later when you disconnect the battery on these new vehicles? Will I lose my radio settings or need a code to turn it back on. Ive done many suspension upgrades on other vehicles, just not a newer 2019 Silverado LT. Thank you in advance!

I have the Range on my 2019 LT, always plugged in and no issues so far.

Thank you everyone, since posting this I have researched, read, and watched on info pertaining to this. You guys said it the best. I understand now what's going on. Awesome

Hi fellas, been awhile, busy with commuting for work. A few days ago, the voltage gauge dropped to what looks like 12+ volts 1/2 way home during a 70 mile commute. usually the gauge always sits at 14, or just a hair over 14V. Today on the way home it did it again. Now in the morning when I leave its a steady 14+ for 70 miles no issues. On the way home today it dropped and stayed there. The gauge will ocassionally come up to 14V but not stay there very long and back down to 12. When I got home I checked the system while the truck was running and saw 12.5 - 12.7 when the gauge was low, and 13.7-14.5 when the gauge was high. With the truck off, the voltage drops steadily from 12.71 down to 12.2 whats happening here, it the alternator having problems or a bad battery? history, 2019 Used Silverado purchased a few months ago with 3060 miles. truck is 3+ years old original battery. Truck now has 8500 miles and this just started... everything else looks good. is this from intelligent voltage control or similar? Thank you.

Will be picking up a Pace Edwards Switchblade retractable cover in a few days. Will update when installed.
