If the push button start happens it better only be on high trim stuff. Don't want that garbage.

I have two friends who HAD to have the earliest 2014's with Z-71 Package and both have had leaks from the Rancho shocks - repalced under warranty of course, but should not have happened in less than 1K miles. As for keyless start, I was told it would be a rolling change starting in the spring when the Tahoe/Yukon's begin to be produced....it's not rocket science to integrate that into a car nowadays. This coming from a GM employee out of Detroit that I went to college with. They are terribly frustrated with the constraints and I was told that off the record, it was a huge waste of money to hire people to make sure this did not happen.

 

 

 

If the shocks were currently leaking I would think they would put them in constraint and get it fixed immediately, right?

I can see a keyless coming, but I wouldn't imagine in a year model change that quick. Isn't as easy of an addition as just an ignition thing. I would think it would require New engineered entrance handles too to detect that you have it on you and some kinda entrance field. My last car with it knew when it left the car even a few feet.

I also wouldn't think they'd spend all that time on the new truck system and then rid of it a year later. I would assume the Tahoe was based off of its platform actually and perhaps just some new skins coming. If anything I wouldn't be shocked if they put a rear camera with a larger sensor in it. Pretty sure it's the same camera with a sensor made for the 2" terrain rear view mirror. However, if so it should be a swap for us. I know in 2008 when BMW had a x6 with a low res backup camera, the 2009 upgrade was easily upgraded in the old models

 

Don't think the push button start is coming to the trucks. When the debuted the Tahoe and Suburban they had the push button start in them and the interior lay out is quite a bit different from the trucks, so unless they are planning on making the SUV interior fit into the trucks, push button start probably isn't getting into the trucks until a major refresh or the next design.

While I agree it's not rocket science, it's also not a single part swap out. UNLESS they make entrance and exiting not fobless and just a simple keyless ignition. I am talking about a total keyless setup as in never touch the key to open your car, start it, etc.

Having a Caddi with the keyless system has one issue that I hate. If you leave the keyfob in the vehicle and it has a low battery (keyfob) it locks down the vehicle. A person needs the extra keyfob to get the vehicle opened. Sure there is a spare entrance door key in the end of the fob but doesn't do much good when it's in the car. This happens about once per year, I keep a pack of batteries on hand.

Well I have had my 2014 Z71SLT for 5 weeks and I can tell you that I absolutely hate this system. It is not user friendly. Navigation in my 2011 Acadia is much better. In fact everything is better. Voice recognition is not great. Did I mention that Navigation is aweful. There were more choices in earlier models. Not only was it easier to store and access destinations, it was easier to get to your favorites. I tell ya. I had a chance to buy a 2013 Denalli new and this 2014 for very little difference and I wish I had taken the 2013.

Yea I will admit that arguing with the trucks voice command is maddening. Passengers think it is funny though - good entertainment for them! I'm fine with the key and FOB as is and my shocks are fine as well. I compared all the trucks and bought this one because I liked it best. Everything will get niftier and better over the next 4-years until I compare them all again and buy another one. Just the way it is.

I definitely would like the keyless entry and push start. I LOVE it on my car and couldn't imagine not having it

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      Joke Thread

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
