Does anyone know what the max size the system will recognize on the SD Card? 32GB? 64GB?

 

Biggest I have is a 32gig in my camera. When I get some time I'll copy some songs to it and see if the truck reads it.

So I did some testing tonight. 32gig card works fine if it is formatted with FAT32. It will sort and show album art if the MP3's have that info. I dumped several different artists songs just into the root folder and my link sorted them out into their own folders when browsing the songs. Very nice!

 

I formatted the card with NTFS partitioning and it will not read it. So stick with FAT32 and you should be good to go with a 32gig. Now if only I had a 64 gig SD to play with. :-)

Awesome. Thanks for testing it for us!

Also, this might be a dumb question, but the fat32 format, is that like a certain type/ formatted sd card I would need to get? Or is that some formatting that I need to set up once I have the sd card? Could you explain it? Lol sorry

FAT is an ancient file format system that is plagued with issues such as data integrity. Data can become corrupted fairly easy.

 

It can be formatted with your computer. When it is in, right click it and click format. Then change it from NTFS to FAT32

It most likely will already come formatted like that. I was just testing NTFS format for my own personal reasons.

 

No biggie if you need to format it to FAT32 though.

 

 

Instructions

    • 1

      Insert the card into your USB card reader and plug the reader into your computer. If you have an internal card reader, insert the card into the reader port.

    • 2

      Right-click on the "Start" button and select "Open "Windows Explorer."

    • 3

      Right-click the SD card in the navigation pane on the left and choose "Format."

    • 4

      Make sure that the drive size option is set to the size of your card in the formatting window.

    • 5

      Click on the "File System" drop-down menu and change it to "FAT32."

    • 6

      Click on "Format" at the bottom of the window and allow the process a few minutes to complete.

Has anynody tried to play a movie or video off the SD card? I can't get it to work.

 

It's not worth it for video. I tested several videos of various sizes and file types. For the ones that did work, the playback was choppy and out of sync with the audio.

You can watch video with the truck in Park. If you put truck into gear, the video playback stops but the audio will continue.

I run a 8gb card with no issues.. one thing I would like to figure out.. it's a tough one.. I hope you computer geeks can help..

 

About half of my music on the SD card is music I ripped from the original CD's. I have everything sorted under the correct folders, etc. Now.. my wife's Audi will let me browse through the folders and pick the song I want...super easy.

 

However.. the GMC doesn't sort folders.. only let's be search by Artist name / song. All the ripped music does NOT include the artist name in the file properties. So my question is..

1. Can this truck sort by folders anyway...

2. If not, how to I manually add the artist name to the .mpg properties. I tried to right click/ edit... I see artist name is blank.. but it won't allow me to edit.

 

Please help.. I could use my bluetooth / android phone ...but I personally hate using my phone for music... I want it only as a phone. I like all my music on it's own separate SD card.

Interesting call to Infotainment Service Center today.... The guy I spoke to today told me that the SD Card slot is mainly for Navigation and system updates. He did confirm it can be used to play music but will not work for picture viewing or movies UNLESS you have the Picture Viewer icon on your home screen. He did tell me that they are working on an update to add a few features and this might be one if them. I would like to use it to view pictures from my game cameras at the deer lease! Also found out that the slot under the radio is actually a CD player and NOT a DVD player like the rep that sold me the truck said it was!!

""view pictures from my game cameras at the deer lease!""

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
