So I cant remember the last time I used cruise control in my 07 gmt900 but this morning on the highway I tried to use it and it is not working. The light on the steering wheel come on when you push the button but when you try to set the speed, nothing.

 

Just curious if anyone had this issue or has any ideas for a quick fix before I take it to the dealer to look at.

I have a 05 on mine all the controls are on the headlight/wiper/blinker lever. I first have to turn a little switch on then I push a button to set it and then i can go a little faster by pushing in a button or slower by pushing in the button to set it . It turns off if I press the brake or clutch or turn it off on the lever.

 

and I have to be going so fast to engage it . Will not work on a gravel road doing like 30 km in like 2nd gear or 3rd on my truck.

 

um maybe you need to replace the bowden cable but i doubt it.

 

You said you dont remember the last time you used it . Try reading your manual about it and see if you pushed the right buttons. I am out of ideas but will follow topic to learn .

It's all computer controlled on the 900's so if you've done everything correctly to set it, I'd be speaking with a mechanic

Updated brake switch for '07 900 pickups and utilities for these kinds of similar concerns. A good scan of the ecm cruise failure listings should tell the story though.

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve had several. The last was sold at the dealership hard with a soft top. They all leaked a little. The only one that didn’t was a topper. My supplier miss understood. It was supposed to be a painted match topper. I was getting ready for a trip couldn’t wait so I took it. It was easy to remove if needed and didn’t leak.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Very nice truck. I’m a strange one. I never considered trucks family vehicles. Work or personal vehicles for men. Watching kids or ladies climb into trucks can be amusing. I tried for retirement but the wife didn’t take long with her displeasure. That led to our first SUV. Now a minivan. People really miss the boat on that one. Even a midsized truck was vetoed. My wife’s car is off limits. That’s ok by me. I could do a full sized car ok. But for an old guy you have to sit first then bring the legs in. Then spin towards the door put both legs out then stand up. Mini vans are just high enough to step in and sit. Step out and walk. I hear the Toyota Crown is kinda like that. I’ll try that sometime. Go ahead and laugh, you’ll be old someday. A regular cab truck. I’m kinda looking for an older GM V-8. The Ridgeline is OK. But we’re not exactly speaking the same language. It’s a looker. But I’m missing that GM feeling, an old GM.

      Oil Consumption

      By riddler · Posted

      For clarity: per the manufacturer the 6.6L takes 8 quarts of oil with a filter replacement. I always add that amount which puts near the top of the dipstick range.

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Looking to purchase a used Sierra and want to have a tonneau cover put on at the dealer if possible, to avoid the back-and-forth with shipping & delivery of a cover.  Does anyone have a tonneau cover they can recommend that is completely watertight?  I've had BakFlip MX4, Retrax, and it seemed like everything leaks water from light rain to a heavy downpour.   I've been asked by several clients to start a marketing business, I did marketing videos for them pro-bono over the past few years and they think I'd be great to do it professionally.  So the truck may have drones, laptops, cameras, and video production gear.  Everything is in Pelican cases, but I'm sure something will get wet such as paperwork or a backpack like I have experienced before.   The rest of the time this truck will be used for long trips towing a travel trailer, so I'd think a tonneau cover can also help if I'd like to equip the truck with bed rails to haul mountain bikes or a kayak.  I am even considering a topper if that would be best for the combined marketing/video/event production business & RVing use the truck will see.

      First Sierra purchase, looking for a 2021 3.0 with the SLT package

      Thank you.  I ended up passing on that truck, it was $29k with 99k miles and local to me (Illinois).  Played that game once before, passed a much better condition vehicle for one that was closer.  $10k in engine work and $6k in transmission work later, it never drove right, and by that point the age & mileage made it worth close to nothing.  I now remind myself, a plane ticket and an Uber is a lot cheaper than buying the local truck with issues and having buyer's remorse.   Now looking at this for $26k: https://southernwholesale.net/vdp/23915469/Used-2021-GMC-Sierra-1500-SLT-Crew-Cab-Short-Box-2WD-for-sale-in-Trussville-AL-35173 And AutoCheck looks good: https://autocheck.dealercarsearch.com/Default.aspx?VIN=EPWlh9Ow3ceghogyxJFSf4bAycMno2xr4%2fK1GUasMDw%3d&DealerId=25052   This one from Carmax is high ($32k), but some people swear by the Maxcare warranty: https://www.carmax.com/car-detail/27952269   And this one for $33k seems insanely high priced, but it got a new engine at 120k, and no mention of transmission work except for fluid changes: https://www.alejandrocars.com/inventory/2021-gmc-sierra-1500-127941   Just trying to not repeat my first used car purchase, being so underwater I had to sell it to a high school w/vocational shop class because nobody would buy a recently repaired lemon.
