A while back I posted that my truck didn't have an integrated compass that I could find and it irked me. My truck is a Custom trim level, with the base dashboard. I was paroozing trucks online today and saw this one, where in the photos there is clearly a compass in the lower right of the DIC. Both trucks are 2016's. The only thing I can think of is that I'm pretty sure the truck in the link has OnStar, and mine does not. Interesting how no OnStar also means no compass, however. Anyone wanna help me figure this out?

Same! Mine is a 15 though so maybe some hardware differences. Another thing that comes on the 16s are the v4 indicator. I really wish I had this and it drives me nuts that I can't see when I'm running on 4 cylinders.

Should have said earlier that I have the WT cluster without steering wheel controls. Sorry.

That dealership is just a few miles from my house. I do not like them. High pressure sales vultures!

 

Every Rick Hendrick dealership I have visited is like that.

I have to agree with you there. We got my wife's Traverse there and won't be going back.

Is the compass information delivered through OnStar, perhaps?

Nash Chevy in Lawrenceville is my preferred Chevy dealer. Bought my wife's Traverse there.

 

Bought my new Sierra at Jim Ellis on PIB. And the Rick Hendricks GMC in Duluth is less than 1/2 mile from my office. I would never buy from them.

incorrect, no. The compass info is built into the rear view mirror just has it has been for years now. I don't have OnStar and my compass works just fine.

I bought at Hendricks once years ago. That will NEVER happen again. They are the worst. Their deals are the worst and they are trying to rob you at every turn. Go figure he is a car guy?? Every Hendricks dealer is the same I have dealt with, and have come to terms not to even attempt to deal w/ them. I travelled to Jim Ellis in Ga. and they were a dream to deal with straight forward, same car, thousands less. Hendricks is a thief.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
