  1. I'm wondering if we're in violent agreement, by console I meant the thing between the captains chairs. I wish I would have gotten a bench seat, that sixth seat is for your significant other.
  2. Had this happen to a few times. No sound at all, including turn signals. Reset via the hangup button on the steering wheel cleared it up.
  3. In Oregon they allow both, abet the salt in only certain problematic places and LEOs give tickets out like candy for having studs on past March 31. Put me in charge and both get banned, studs with malice for the sound they make. For chasing storms in the Cascades, non-studded Nokian Hakka LT3's (stock size) have done me well for the past two winters. Only complaint is they wear fast, have probably two more winters (this one included) left in them.
  4. Just had this happen the other day, '24 LTZ 2500. I'm in Oregon, so they've get quite the workout but it was a first. Thanks for posting.
  5. Try Facebook Marketplace, it's been good to me. Found some for $300 (total!!) that I use for winter tires.
  6. Adaptive Cruise Control is dangerous and going to kill people if it hasn't already. I only use it on long flat roads in good weather. Curvy roads? Don't use it. Roads that quickly undulate? Don't use it. Precipitation of any kind? Don't use it. Night time? Don't use it. Dust storm? Don't use it. #1 and #2 above are super easy to reproduce. Head west out of Hood River on I-84 towards Portland, when you hit the curves at Bonneville Dam hold the **** on. That's assuming it didn't already try to kill you in the preceding ~25 miles. Vehicle: 2024 2500 LTZ with 43k miles on the clock.
  7. The lack of a column shifter in the 1500 put me over the fence to the 2500. Also, I don't like the squarish tile pipes.
  8. Side note: look at the date and version of Android. It was EOL before the trucks started rolling off the assembly line. This is bullshit GM, it's like buying expired milk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_10
  9. Nope, only tow basic stuff. I don't know if there's ever even been an LED hooked to it.
  10. Another "Trailer Brakes Disabled - Service Required" message to add to the pile. '24 LTZ at ~35k miles. Dealership swapped out the module, which didn't fix it and they kept it another day. Paperwork was vague on the actual solution.
  11. I ended up with a '24 2500 LTZ in black because the color options are not appealing. How many gray/white/red variants does the world need? The LTZ->HC bump wasn't worth it to me for the features (HC logo is also kind gaudy IMHO), but I'd pay that kinda delta for the color I want. Hint, GM, it's green. The supply chain argument is bullshit, there's money to be made.
  12. My wife's 2014 Suburban was "broken into" after someone stole some master FOBs from a dealership a few years back. The rolled into town and hit every GM vehicle they could find. The app on your phone that allows remote unlock makes this a million times worse and scares the piss out of me. I say that with my professional information security hat on.
  13. +1 for issues with the '24 fobs activating. Never a problem with any other year or manufacturer. I have to keep it in a pocket all by itself, and even then it can get activated by movement.
  14. Got my 2024 LTZ L5P flashed while getting an oil change today (25k miles in 14 months, servicing every 5k). Took an hour+ over normal service visits. Nothing noticeable to me, other than that the Android security patch level is now from 2024, which is an improvement, only noticed because I looked. The service manager said it fixed some battery drain issues.
  15. I'll take an upgrade for the setup on the '24s, slower than a 5 year old smartphone. GM missed big with that one.
  16. One possible way to deal with this is unhook the antennas and attach them to a dummy load, effectively grounding the signal. The system will just think you're out of a coverage area, permanently.
  17. "Tell me you don't want my business without telling me you don't want my business."
  18. In general GM, and everyone else, needs to follow Tesla's lead and only build sold vehicles, dealer inventory (read: dealerships) needs to be a thing of the past. And yes, if green were an option, abet super deep and non-metalic, I wouldn't have ended up with black.
  19. I wish I had the seats from the wife's '14 Suburban in my '24 2500. 3 kids, 10 years, and 180k miles, it's still a couch on wheels. The seats were a miss on the '24s for me, otherwise I really like the truck.
  20. I love it where it is, like where it's been since about forever. I was on the 1500/2500 fence and that's what threw me firmly to the 2500. The shifter on the console is also a huge waste of space, IMHO.
  21. That's the key. I've had sales people look me dead in the eye and tell me they wouldn't drive an hour to save thousands, we're your local dealership! I did the shop around thing with lots of emails, phone call, and a few visits, ended up working with a dealership 3 hours away. To be fair to the local dealership in this case, they told me straight away (this was a year ago) that they had such a line for '24 HD's, based on their limited allocations I should either wait for a '25 or go elsewhere, which was actually kinda refreshing. Also, shop around for service. There are two places closer, but I drive an hour each way.
  22. I've seen this too, the truck's lights will randomly flash and doors lock/unlock when I'm moving around in the vicinity with the fob in my pocket. My wife is who brought this to my attention. None of our other vehicles, GM or not, have ever done this.
  23. BFG HD Terrain for "more aggressive than street but not totally offroad". re: Michelin, we run them on cars in summer, but not trucks, great tires. No slight on them, just have good experience with BFG's on trucks. That said, in winter everything gets a set of studless Nokian's.
  24. 2024 2500HD LTZ with the Duramax, Z71+protection package, and fifth wheel/gooseneck prep. Came with the animated tails lights too, before they stopped shipping them for IIRC a supplier QC issue, dunno if that got changed for later builds.
