I noticed when looking at the extended 5 day forecast... it's about 2 days behind. It says today, tomorrow, Sunday, Monday, etc.. Well today the problem is today is Sunday. I sent a XM refresh and it didn't help. Anyone notices this... I guess this is an XM issue..

I have had the issue but it usually resolves itself. What I don't like is the forecast stays on the screen shrinking the radar size. Is there any way to get that off and see more radar?

How do I get XM Weather on my truck?

Must have a radio with GM navigation

Must have an active XM service

And then you can contact XM and have Travelink turned on. It includes XM Weather. Go to the site below and enter your vehicle information to see availability of optional services.

I didn't keep the XM Radio as I thought it was crap for the money it costs. The coolness of it went away quick the first time years ago and very fast this time. I then found out that I lost weather and traffic, so I call to get it back. $15 to connect it again. I talked them out of it because I didn't know, so she is like okay it will be $5.** a month. WTF? :nonod:

 

If the 2015 does it through the ATT data and is more reasonable in price or you get more for the money. I'll be pissed.

XM is becoming the AOL of radio. They were great back in 2000ish when they first came out and were solid until they merged with Sirius. Ever since then the quality of the music has gone downhill tremendously. Now they fired Anthony Cumia from the Opie and Anthony show which was the only reason I remained a customer this long. As a musician myself who is serious about the music he listens to, I find Pandora to be leaps and bounds better than what Sirius is offering now. I use Podcasts and AM radio to fill the void of talk radio I used to get on XM. Overall though i'm saving money every month and getting better music variety and still no commercials or censorship. I was a 10 year customer and just canceled a month ago. I think it's only a matter of time before they go belly up.

haven't found a way to shrink forecast to make radar bigger.... I know what you mean.. it would be nice to have full radar on the screen.

I'm going to agree with those saying it's way too much for what you get. Most of the music is dated and the traffic and weather are a joke. On the radar you can't zoom in far enough to get an accurate reading for your location. The traffic is so off it's not even funny. You'd think it would pull from the same place Google and others gets the traffic from but it never seems accurate. I've had it show me green and clear rolling only to be stuck in traffic several times. Mine only shows the traffic on highways and not even major arteries. I'm in a big metro area so the info should be easy to get, it's just doesn't deliver.

Google Maps is the best tool for real time traffic reporting in my opinion. I use it all of the time on my iPhone.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
