  1. does anyone have the diagrams showing which fuses under hood need to be relocated / installed for this aux switches? I have a 2016 2500HD WT that came with the switches, I bought the wire harness from GM and plugged it in under the parking brake and ran it out thru the firewall. seems the GM upfitter website where the pic I need is down? thanks
  2. I'm sure it's done to improve the mpg by 0.00001 indont nt give a flip of it uses another nickel a month in gas to shift like a normal vehicle should why people worry about mpg and don't consider depreciation is really strange I have never and will never buy a brand new vehicle I buy mine 5-7 years old at an auction last one was a 7 yr old 4wd EB expedition in excellent condition with every available option that cost $51k new and I was the top bidder at $6400 so the person bought it new lost $43k . But they were probably constantly complaining about the 11.5 mpg in town and I wont be buying any more late model vehicles either they are intentional made to be so complicated that no one can work on them when my expy wears out , likely the vvt or transmission , my next vehicle will be the nicest 88-91 K-5 Blazer I can find . I need reliable 4wd SUV or truck that can be maintained by an average mechanic I don't need the freaking space shuttle on wheels with 18 computers and 26 miles of wiring .
  3. Wonder why GM with thousands of engineers can't fix it and a small company can fix it ???! answer :. GM is full of mouth breathing morons from the CEO and top engineers down to the tards at the stealership I took this one in for its "free" oil changes and even made an appointment only took em 3 1/2 hours to change the oil WITH an appointment if I took it in to get the chuggle fixed , they'd need what , six months ?? is there a way to get a tune that makes the Trans shift up like a normal Trans should instead of going to 6th gear at 33 mph while going uphill?
  4. The one I drive is a crew cab 4wd 3/4 ton with a 6.0 Edit worse than I thought :. Just walked out and checked Monday I drove from Atlanta to Jacksonville and back yesterday cruise set on 75 , interstate the entire trip computer says 14.7 for the trip
  5. The infotainment doesn't interest me at all and I liked that the tundra I drove didn't have one at all . The GM one is irritating since there is apparently no way to dim it at night , so when I drive five hours in the dark I have a tv screen shining in my face the entire time I dont watch videos or text while I'm driving so the tv screen in the dash is not important to me at all butnondon sometimes wonder how much apply paid GM to write the software so that google maps will not appear on the tv screen in the dash , only apply maps will appear the Tundra I drove got 16in town and 19 on the road , the Chevy gets 13 in town and 15 on the road and rides worse than some of my 18 wheelers did . Apparently the flexy frame soaks up a lot of bumps I'm considering removing a couple of leafs from the rear of the Chevy to soften the ride and eliminate the stupid looking of the back end sitting 8" higher than the front no no chuggle problem with the Yota though .
  6. I drive a 17 owned by the company I work for and have noticed the same thing it's very irritating no wonder GM had to get bailed out by the fedgov I have not taken it in for repairs because I know GM is too stupid to be able to fix it I figured it was something to do with the CAFE ratings , it's really irritating that this stupid truck will up shift into 6th gear doing 35 mph uphill so that when go up the next slight hill in a residential neighborhood mashing the gas pedal does nothing to increase power until you totally floor it causing it to slam down into 3rd and take off like a rocket , there is no way to accelerate in between these two modes unless you drive it in the Manual mode and shift it your self Using the trailer tow mode helps but the "grade braking " slamming down gears every time you ease off the gas pedal is irritating too Lexus had rev matching downshifts about ten years ago and GM can't do it ?? it's also hard to believe that they sell a vehicle without power mirrors and if you don't buy the option package with the remote control to lock and unlock the doors GM has purposely written the software so it can never be added later The previous company i worked for had crewmax tundras and wow, that's the truck to have . Plenty of power and a very intuitive transmission , rides a hell of a lot better too
