There is a auto door lock disable but it seems to be an option or vehicle specific. I have the options to disable on my 2014 Silverado.

Here is a vid of mine.

Those options don't disable the auto locking. Have you actually taken the gearshift out of park with the vehicle running without the doors locking? On mine that's impossible.

 

The "Auto Door Unlock" only controls which doors the vehicle will unluck when you put it back into park. It always locks them all when you take it out of park. If somebody gets out (by pulling the handle twice or by manually unlocking the door) when your foot is on the brake, it locks again as soon as you start moving. Meaning you need to unlock the door yet again to let the person back in.

 

The "Unlocked Door Anti Lockout" just keeps you from locking the driver's door with the switch when it's open. On mine, it doesn't seem to matter if the key is in the ignition or not despite what the manual says.

 

In any case, there simply is no option to keep the doors from locking you and your passengers in (or out), all by themselves. It wouldn't be quite so bad if they only locked when you exceeded 8 MPH like the older trucks, but these won't let you creep an inch forward at 1 MPH without having to screw with the locks again.

Well I feel dumb :banghead:

I checked and Jon A is 100% right! I turned off everything in my settings and it still locked. So my vid can be removed if needed.

In my day to day I don't see this really being a problem though unless the driver and friends are doing Chinese fire drills.. glad you pointed that out though.

Try pulling trailers through pastures where you are constantly getting in/out opening gates. And you never get over 5 or 6 mph. It'll drive you batty. At least it does me.

 

I called GM about it, and they told me to FO essentially. I did tell them I found a work around. I leave my door cracked/open. That way the doors wont lock back. Not sure the rep liked that workaround

i've asked int eh other threads.... previously we had a gm service bulletin that allowed a dealer to flash the bcm to give us the option. i've not seen any mention of this for a k2 truck... only 2013 and previous. i personally had it done on my 2010.

 

my dealer has been no help. gm help on here supposedly opened a case for me but i've heard nothing yet. i hope gm will update the service bulletin to include the 2014 trucks soon...

old post. very old post. but just as an fyi for anyone who does the same google search that i did.... I work for GMC dealer in california had a customer ask to turn off auto lock in gear feature. Checked with tech who thought the same as me: not an option. So i googled it. Found this thread. Found a bulletin on GM service information and it basically states that the auto lock has been a feature in gm vehicles since 2005 and there is no option in settings OR in the BCM to disable this. Nor do they plan on making any such setting. Hope it helps any future searchers.

other manufacturers have it where you can set the doors to lock at a certain speed. from when you put it in drive and up to 15mph i believe, a nice feature that has been around for over 15 years. still boggles my mind that it takes GM over 10 years to adopt some nice features.

The way I look at it is.  If a person isn't smart enough to lock the doors when they want.  Then they ought to be a passenger.  This locking and unlocked drives me crazy.  Probably GM likes the income from the door locks going out from all the unnecessary locking.  Same with the automatic lights.  TO me that is an unnecessary danger.  What did God give us a brain for?  I like my old big 10 chevy 1981.  I will try the not shutting the door all the way.  ha ha,.

We need to make the deciosion of whether we want the doors to automatically lock or not and same for the lights.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      By Newduramaxh*ar · Posted

      Hello, Im in a bit of a bind maybe someone could help me out.  We towed our trailer, up a pretty steep incline (395 north of Bishop) done it before no issues. I got to our campground turn truck off, i restarted the truck about an hour later  and check engine light turns on. Found DTC P2C48,  unable to reset.  This morning i removed the plug, there's 12.12v at the plug. Reservoir near firewall is full of coolant, checked for leaks nothing. I dont hear or feel the pump turning on. My dilemma, is nearest dealer  is 4hrs away that has the pump instock. Is it safe to drive? By me checking the available voltage at the connector and not hearing/feeling pump turn on, is it a bad pump? Please help...

      The figure bandied about is "100 million barrels" so I think a decimal is off somewhere. But that doesn't change the outcome much when the expected flow through the Strait through over the same time should have been more than 2,000,000,000.   So 5%, if that number is even true, and there's sufficient data to believe it's not. Give that man another Fifa peace prize! 5% is less than the flow of a grapefruit-sized prostate blocking the release of cheap lager after a night of bingo.
