No idea, but thanks for the heads up.

 

I'd be happy with just more POI, from 09-10 I noticed a big change so I'm hoping for something similar.

Has anybody upgraded to this disc? Apparently it does include a firmware update and there is some new improved colors on for the display. Be interesting to see if anyone has noticed.

Got that disk but its a new Nav just installed with that disk so I'm unsure of the changes , other than it did do some firmware upgrade when I first turned it on .

Any new info on this updated disc? Thinking about ordering but $200 is a little steep for a few map updates.

One thing that I've noticed is that it has a "breadcrumbs" feature. It puts little dots on the map on the last route you drove. Maybe this is in a previous version, but I hadn't noticed it on mine before.

 

I've also noticed an increase in startup time for the map software. I don't recall having a delay with the map software before, but with the new software, I often get a message "Reading MAP DVD" or something similar.

Mine's got breadcrumbs and it's an un-updated 2007+. I agree Sir Dan, $200 is robbery!!! Those people are NUTS asking that much for that disc.

Can you give your disc to a buddy to load or not?

 

Also, when i drove my truck to my house the first time it showed no roads. I live in a new subdivision.

 

But maybe a week later i noticed that the roads were added, and i did nothing.

 

Is the nav updating somehow through onstar?

The DVD disc cannot be transferred to another vehicle, it stays in the unit at all times. There is no active update system thru Onstar that I know of. Sometimes it takes awhile for the software to fully load the area you are driving in so that may have been what you seen. Note also that the "breadcrumbs" you guys refer to is the Off-Road Mode in the Menu section. It leaves little blue dots in your track...mine has this as well but I leave it off.

You can give it to someone and it'll update their firmware, but the maps are on the disc. So, if you don't have a disc, you don't have any maps. A disc should always be in the nav unit.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
