Okay I'm new here and I have a question. Last Friday I bought a '15 GMC Sierra 1500 crew cab 2wd SLT. The truck has this off road graphic that show steering angle, as well as vehicle angle side-to-side and front-to-back. I have seen this work driving around on my property at low speeds but I. Can't figure out what triggers it. Can anyone help me with this.

you can set it to display with the steering wheel controls

its in settings. I have it added as a page on mine so I can just arrow down to it.

 

I have not had my turn on automatically.

I would image it turns on at some extreme angle.

 

Why would a 2 wheel drive have an off road package?

I'm with you on that. I have added mine to the 'scroll list' and mine doesn't come up automaticlly. Sorry for the confusion. I had the DIC page on driving across my property and I could see the angles change with steering input and as I went up and down hills. However, when I driving down the road the page doesn't do anything. All the angles are zeroed out like the page is inactive.

its active... truck isnt moving enough.

 

I was going over a pass in Colorado and it changed.

 

Strangely the pass was a 7% grade and the screen showed 1%

 

I don't know if it is off or what.

I planned to look it up in the manual but forgot.

It's just inclinometer. Readouts are probably calculated from outputs from longitudinal accelerometer, yaw sensor, and steering wheel angle sensor. I believe it's part of the Z71 package. Remember that Z71 package is not limited to 4WD.

How does it get onto the screen? I have the Z71 package on my 2015i GMC 2500 HD SLT and wondered my self how it appears.

With the new trucks 2014 and 2015 I did not think Z71 was available in 2wd like the previous years. But I wish I could add this readout to my 2014!! I even have a page that literally reads "Blank Page" in my DIC.

Mine has worked several times and I have 4x4 Z71. It wasn't in 4x4 when it activated . Helps with uphill acceleration and downhill. But when you have 4x4 in gaged and the setting it works like a champ. No slip or extreme acceleration to slide out. It will only pop up when active going downhill or up hill on freeway when cruise control is on. Or if you turn it on manually with the button with 4x4 to help down extreme angles or up etc.... 262c74baffa83122141e45586dddf8c4.jpg

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
