Oh heavens this key is so hard to use... not liking the direction car manufacturers are leading people in the least bit.

Lol at Sarah

 

So how about that automatic transmission, or power windows, or pretty much any other item on the truck. What is GM thinking leading us down this path of improved products! Lol

I'm with Sarah. My wife's new Flex has The Button. She wants me to drive when we go in her car. One night shortly after we bought the Flex, I'm driving to the drugstore, she gets out at the front of the store, I drive over to the cafe a block away to get take-out. I park and suddenly realize, I won't be able to start it if I shut it off. I have to leave it running while I go in and order and wait for the food. Coulda been way worse. I coulda drove a long way from the keys.

I was just watching a video of the 2015 F150. Push button start, power locking tailgate, power release tailgate and a new and improved tailgate step.

my last car was a push button start. It was nice, but not a deal breaker by any means. I do wish the doors had a button to lock/unlock though. That was a nice feature.

I'm more confused on how you got a SLT and didn't get keyless entry.. Now unless you mean passive entry where you just grab the handle and pull that's a different story..

When you trade your 14 for a 15 to get keyless start let us know what that option costs you! My guess is that it will cost you at least 3-5k to trade. Personally it is not that important to me but it may be important to some.

Actual improvements are one thing, silly gimmicks like this are another. I just can't understand why people feel all cheated the SUVs have this and the trucks don't. It was clear from the beginning the SUVs were aiming toward a premium product and it's not like the fact the trucks don't have it was somehow hidden. And all one needs to do is see how shitty some of these keyless systems are to realize they aren't reliable or in any way secure.

I happen to like the perimeter key, remote start and heated wheel. When we get older one likes to pamper themselves. Not sure I would trade a year up for it though...

When I bought this truck I was planning on keeping it for years, I have to admit I am researching the 2015 F-150 with the 5.0 engine, I like push button start, but that is just one reason(still do not have good FM reception and very disappointed in audio system). I am not saying I will trade but I am looking. There are a lot of things I like on the Sierra but I am disappointed in the way GM is handling my concerns in a $44,000 vehicle.

The push button GM has available on some cars you just grab the door and open. Vehicle is started by pushing button. The fob remains in your pocket. There is no place to insert a key.

 

Keyless entry (remote unlock with the fob) is standard on SLE and SLT, available on base level.

I've driven around in mall parking lot in the Impala when the fob while the fob went in the store and I went to park. It didn't shut me down.

 

Id love to know what the restrictions are on shut it off and restart as long as car is not opened out of range of the fob. Someday may take time to test.

So they are planning on doing this with the 2015 trucks or is that just a guess?

They're not good for security. The C&D article is tongue in cheek but I've been able to drive at least a quarter mile in a Challenger with no fob inside myself.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
