i have a 2015 hd3500 dually with remote start, is there an option to change the duration of run time before shutting itself off ? it only runs for 10 minutes and then i have to restart it. it is the factory option from gmc. also anybody else notice when heat or ac is on high and you open the door that there is a severe "popping" sound. i guess this is from the positive air pressure in the cabin.

I haven't found where you can change the time limit. It's also 10 minutes for my '14 1500. For a gasser I know 5-10 minutes is just right, but for the Duramax I would have set the timer longer being a diesel.

 

As for the popping sound, I haven't noticed anything like that.

If you have a engine block heater for the diesel, you shouldn't need longer than 10 mins. My duramax gets warm within 10 mins.

If you do the remote start process again while the remote start has been activated once, it should keep it going for 20 min. After that it will no longer allow a remote start until a certain time limit has passed. Should be in your owners manual regarding that.

 

FYI- The Block heater will not work at temps above 30F or right around there.. it has a built in thermostat in the cord. Not sure about prior to the LMMs, but on my 08LMM it said in the owerns manual that the glow plugs and engine is advanced enough that it does not need assistance from the block heater for starting and fluid warm up at temps above that 30 something threshold, so you can plug it in at night but unless the temps get below 30 or 32 or whatever the threshold is, the block heater will not come on. Now, when it does get below that temp and the heater comes on, yes you do notice a slight difference in time it takes to heat up but regardless they are good engines and do quite well in the winter. (This is with regards to the Duramax, not sure about the gasser)

You can extend the remote start 10 minutes more by doing the remote start procedure again while its already running. You have to do it before it times out or it will shut off and you have to start it again. Only lets you do it twice before having to put the key in the truck.

There's no plug for my engine block heater. Works on startup.

Yep, but make sure you wait until the time is almost out as you only get 10min. more once you remote start again.

They are zip tied up along the engine I think, passenger side towards the front of the engine.

The coolant heater plug is on the passenger side, generally near or under the battery, tie wrapped so you may have to feel for it. Use a bright light. Then stretch it as tight as you can and you can usually end up running it to just outside the grill if you so wish.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
