Cannot count the number of time I said to myself 'Grumble Grumble, I wish the windows would roll up when I lock the truck by default' From a computer/logical standpoint it is pretty pointless to lock

And that's the thing. All of the windows have pressure sensors now. Anything pushes on them they go back down automatically. No reason why they can't do it. I hate having to run outside to roll u

Ha, really? That's probably the dumbest thing I've seen so far on this truck. Thanks for the info!

So I just sent them a email. Come to find out, they are only open on the weekends, and will not respond to anything not sent during the hours of open operation. The next thing I noticed was their location. They are in my state, a couple hours away. They are near a race track that we go to, plus a buddy of mine lives near by. I will have him look into it while I am in Germany for the next three weeks. I'll post up what we come up with...

 

**WAMS IS CLOSED DURING THE WEEK!!!!**

 

 

Now that we have your attention! Due to the amount of correspondence being sent during non business hours (as well as spam) if you contact us outside of the business hours posted on our site (Sat/Sun 10AM-4PM Eastern) you will likely NOT receive a reply. There unfortunately just aren't enough hours in the day to sift through 1000+ emails a week and make sure all of our programming is done in a timely fashion. The website will still take orders and operate autonomously during the week however.

 

 

 

Please contact us during business hours; thank you!

Well they have done nothing in 2019 to address this. You still can't roll the windows up remotely. 

 

Another feature I'll never use in it's current state.

I use it all the time in the hot weather. If imagine that they don’t put auto up for the same reason they don’t put auto up rear windows, kids.

I remember being a kid and I had my head out the window (we were in the driveway, just got home) and my mother started to roll the windows up and didn’t notice I had my head out. I started to yell and mom noticed lol.

Granted, they could have pressure sensors that if they detected more than normal resistance, they would go back down, like a garage door.

I hate having to run outside to roll up the windows when a quick summer thunderstorm hits. Would love to do it right from the app or my fob.

I can keep dreaming until 2025 when they figure out how to do it safer than they can today.

I have auto-up in my BMW.  It's a '07 at that.  Will open or close both windows and the sunroof.  If the key fob range wasn't so poor on it, I'd probably use it more. :(

I know MVI & Chris White/GTX.... work together for BCM updates, He can update your BCM to allow auto up, not sure if it works for the rear.

 

 

How did you get this to happen? 2019 Silverado RST Z71, All Star, Convenience 1 package. I can do the roll down with the unlock, but not the roll up. Please explain.

If someone reaches inside the rolled down (or broken) window to unlock, then open, the door, the horn should honk until you either kill it with the fob's panic button or the vehicle is started. Try it (not sure how long timer relay on power lock buttons takes to disable them... should work by pulling inside handle twice, too).

 

If it doesn't look like rain, I like leaving the windows cracked 1/2 - 3/4 inch when it's hot out, so I would NOT want them to roll up by just pressing the fob's lock button; holding that button down for, say, 3+ seconds and having them roll up would be nice, though.

Duplicate post (stupidly posted using truck's laggy AT&T wifi... thanks for the provider choices, generous motors).

 

WHY CAN'T WE DELETE OUR OWN POSTS???

So now it's 2022 and the fob still won't roll the windows up.  At least let us roll them up with the outside lock button.  Nothing is more irritating than getting out of the truck and discovering a window still down & having to get back in, start!!!!! the truck, & roll the windows all the way up.  DUMB.

I can agree, I have a 1990 BMW 535i and, when I lock the car with the key (I don't have a remote) and hold it, all of the windows roll up and the sunroof closes.
Still, pretty sure it's a liability issue Chevy didn't want to take on.
I did, however, get an AutoSync Dongle, along with BTDiesel customization and made my child lock button act as an all up window switch but, even at that, one still has to open the door and turn on the key to make it work.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
