Then, you should have those settings under comfort and convenience as @Ravenkeeper mentioned.
If you don't, I guess, consult your dealer?

Thank You I will . I did have WAMS do some programming for my truck ,

You think that might have something to do with it not being there ?

For that, you'll have to ask WAMS but I wouldn't think it would have effected it unless you replaced the BCM or HMI module.
Give WAMS a message ... I'll check his user name in a minute.

I didn't replace any modules , just mailed him the existing BCM & HMI Module from my truck to program . I'll contact him on his site .

What did you have WAMS program with your modules?

I mean, if you already had everything, what else did you need?

remove speed limiter , video in motion , & a few other things that don't come straight to mind .

( this was all done when I bought the truck in late 2017 early 2018 ) So it's been awhile ...

All I can think of still goes back to WAMS to find out if they somehow changed those options.
I did most of that through Autosync and BTDiesel dongle.

Got new BFG’s! Tire prices supposed to rise again so decided to drop $$$ and upgrade now.

Installed bed rug which happens to match snugtop carpet. My first bed rug and it’s very nicely padded on the bottom which makes crawling around in bed pain free. Also has a foam on the side’s which is a small amount of insulation when truck camping 🏕 
 

My truck came with the spray on bed liner and the Velcro bed rug uses does not stick well to the bed liner even after using their promoter which they were very stingy with. Not a big deal I guess since it’s mostly to prevent air from getting under it and ballooning up at highway speeds. Not an issue with a tonneau or camper shell / topper.

I just noticed something from your picture above. At the seam between the bumper and your passenger side quarter panel; kind of just to the side of your fog light. Can you stick your fingers through there; is it open to the fender?

@M1ck3y Yes I can.
 

Fun fact the passenger side of the bumper has a larger gap between fender and bumper than the drivers side. Came from the factory that way. Most people don’t notice but I can’t unsee it with my OCD 😂

Wow! I had completely forgotten about this, I am so glad that it happened to get brought up.

I had noticed this for the first time after I took my bumper off to get powder coated. The mounting brackets were misaligned from years of driving, it was a pain getting it back on and took a little finesse. I had thought after all this time that I had put my bumper back on incorrectly, because I could fit my hand in the gap on the passenger side and not the driver side.

To hear that it was literally like this the whole time is such a breathe of fresh air, but also a very strange enigma, lol.

Ha, that's awesome; I wish the Chevys had that. I haven't seen it in person but I think it's probably safe to say that it's an air scoop of sorts.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
