Confirmed dealer add on. One of these weekends I'll have to pull that out. Not a fan of the pulsing 3rd brake light, even if it may provide a minor advanced warning to cars behind me.

Thanks everyone!

if you yank it out shoot me a pm with a price. Please note which wires it was hooked to.

If I lived in a metro area I would probably have a different opinion. But, in middle TN there isn't enough traffic for the potential safety benefit to override the fact I don't like the look of it.

 

I agree that on a motorcycle it is a different story. My R1 has a similar feature.

 

If I get around to pulling it out I will be sure to PM you.

I couldn't care less if it annoy someone behind me, honestly the a##hole in me smiles thinking about it doing so. I care more about getting that stupid moron off their phone long enough to not rear end me. Won't cause damage to me, but waiting around 2-5 hours for FHP to show up just so you can get the traffic accident report and go home is quite a PITA though. I toy with the idea of adding this to my truck, didn't know it was an added feature, thought it was computer controlled. I know a few of the loaners the dealer has given me has had a sticker saying something about the vehicle having this feature but those were tiny car like things.

 

*edit*

 

I think some of our UPS package cars have this "feature" too.

It gets your attention for sure. I like it but I too would like to see some sort of logic in the thing so if you're in stop and go traffic it doesn't keep going.

Sounds like something the dealer did and charged you for. Did you notice it on the paperwork?

For me, I think all this add on lighting is getting out control. Most are a distraction to other drivers. Front or rear.

      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.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
