Sorry to ask what probably should be a simple question. I did a search and could not find anything.

I was going through the screens trying to customize a bunch of things (chime volume, which doors unlock when you hit the key fob, etc). Before I started to do this, I could always see the favorites bar 'anchored' to the bottom of my radio screen . I must of done something. Now instead of the favorites bar, I have the pause, rewind and fast forward buttons. I tried to go to settings and adjust the number of favorites shown. ( I tried them all) It has not worked. I tried swiping up at the bottom of the screen thinking I may have hid the buttons. This also has not worked. When on the radio screen, I can see my the favorite bar if I tap the screen and then hit the 'icon' on right hand side of the screen. But this is in the settings screen. As soon as I exit, they disappear.

 

Thanks for your help

OP, when you are on the radio screen you need to drag your finger up from the bottom of the screen. Should bring the favorites back up.

This was one of the first videos I found when I bought my truck. I think a lot of your posts have been helpful to me. Thanks for all your posting!

Thanks I will try that again. I might need to work on my touch. Each time I did it, the screen changed to the settings screen. (It must of thought I was touching instead of dragging)

 

I will try tonight and report back.

Push, hold, swipe up.

 

With practice it will be easy and you'll wonder why it was so much trouble.

 

There is a setting in personalisation that lets you set how many rows of favourites to display.

 

 

I wish I could select 'which' row of favorites to display. One for near home, but I'd like to be able to select a different one when I am away -- and or have the 'one' display whichever row the current station was selected from.

If you are displaying a single row at the bottom all the time, you can also drag the screen left or right to display the next "page" of favorites. I find this easier than dragging the screen up.

 

You can also edit the displayed name on the favorite to what ever you want also, so rather than ( 101.3 ) displayed, you could have it show ( Station Name ).

 

You can also save anything to the favorites, not just stations. You can save phone contacts for easy access, favorite songs from usb or sd drives also.

 

Kinda a neat thing I stumbled across.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
