Hey all, i live in canada and i have a 2014 LTZ Silverado with factory command start. Just wondering if anyone has gotten that module from on-star or from GM that allows you to start more than twice before u have to go out and start it? If anyone has details about it price, what exactly it does it would be much appreciated. I spent 56k on this truck i should be allowed to start my truck as many times as i want.

Where did you hear about this 'module' from GM? Reputable source?

I command started my truck twice with remote one night, then the next morning i tried starting it nothing worked. Tried the On-star app on my phone and a message came up, that i should contact On-star or a dealer about the Long distance module. Ill try and get the message again and maybe snap a screen pic of it.

I would suggest reading the manual. It is very clear on the operation of the auto start..

It talks about the fact you can't start the truck more than twice in it? I'll take a peek at the book later today.

So did you leave you keys in the ignition like the message indicates?

 

When you remote start with key chain, it starts your vehicle and leaves it running for 10 minutes. You can extend the running time by pressing the lock button again and the remote start button again for a

additional 10 minutes running time. Total 20 minutes running time.

 

I haven't had any issues with the OnStar app starting my truck either.

No my truck starts fine with the keys and/or my phone 2 times. Its just that it can't be command started 3 times in a row. I have to actually go to the truck and start it with the keys after the 2nd time. Call me lazy or whatever, it just seems really inconvenient.

Well, that's just the way it is. 2 times and 20 minutes. No way around it.

I stayed with the GM 2 way factory in my 2010 and I'm sick of it. The aftermarket was more advanced in 2005 than GM is... on my Clifford you could program everything run times, automatic timer starts, everything.

I put an aftermarket one in my 2010 and plan to do the same with the new one . Sorry but here in the winter, 20 minutes doesn't even defrost the windshield......

They limit the time for liability reasons. My aftermarket one runs for 45 minutes. And it works more than 200 feet away.

i would think they only allow 2 times in case it is being started by accident or by kids, etc.... Would you want it to keep being started and run out of gas? Did GM really mess up or are you just being a little too picky......

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.
