What is your DIC page preference?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey guys,

 

What do you guys prefer to show up on your DIC? I know we have many options, such as trip, fuel eco, tires, speed, etc. Which one do you keep it at or use most? I tried keeping it at music source but it's a duplicate of what's on the infotainment already on my avalanche I use oil life.

Big fan of the speed limit indicator. Helps keep the flashing blue lights out of my rearview mirror, which I find to be a bit distracting while driving.

 

Is this the one that works with the limit you set or with the nav?

Digital speedometer. Though I scroll pretty regularly to view trip A/mileage, tire pressure, last 25 mpg.

Digital SPEED - the rest are handy like tire pressure, tranny temp, % of oil life etc - but life is too short to fixate on MPG or how often it is in V4 mode.........

 

I did not have digital speed on the 2007.5 Duramax - but added a DashHawk to track regens - fav screen there was also digital SPEED - which you could correct for tire size...........

I just use the one that shows the speed limit sign for the road you're on. The sign doesn't always show up but it is usually pretty accurate when it does.

 

I'll also flip around to my tire PSI and MPG some.

    • Certainly as the new model year comes along and that may mean a new refreshed model such as for example the upcoming 2027 half tons and lets just say for arguments sake that current year trucks are in decent supply on the new lot and its not guaranteed but some years and depending on the current economic state that buyers may turn their nose up at the so called old stock/old model and want the "new new" shiny object. When those stars align and in this case GM corporate puts out a great discount on what is becoming the old stock as well as dealers willing to deal to get that inventory off the lot, that's when it would be easier to deal as long as, as it was pointed out that your willing to take what is there for choice of inventory in an area that makes sense to you shopping wise. What you don't get deals on or typically so is the incoming new toy in the showroom, that is where if they don't have much inventory of the new model year and customers that are willing to pay to beat the Joneses and will pay top dollar for it just because. Also sometimes there is that vehicle that few are interested in for whatever reason in how its equipped that becomes two years old and they really want to get rid of that vehicle. New in all cases and warranty the same typically although plan on changing that battery out on the older used one, lot rot of batteries with todays vehicles that draw power constantly.    I too was just too leery about buying a newer used truck as I know how all too many seem to treat their vehicle maintenance wise and up here in Canada there wasn't the used market to choose from like one would assume because of all the bull crap going on with under a year old trucks and under certain mileage being bought up by USA brokers and being hauled/driven south to be sold in the sates so the used price was too demanding here. Also a certain insurance coverage I wanted was only available on a new truck at time of purchase and not even a so called new demo on a lot could have that no depreciation loss coverage. I made the best deal I could on a truck I personally chose for options on an order so they knew it was most likely sold before it ever hit their lot so no lot interest charges for the dealer to swallow. I also wanted a new vehicle so that I could plaster the crap out of it underneath with fluid film and see if that will help slow down the rust issues we have here due to the crap they spread on the winter roads. 
    • Sure...but there is no "update" to be had.  GM has not issued any support for this.  
    • You mean it's not supported yet in the trucks. The hardware is certainly there. The software just needs updated.
    • Is the carbon pro bed still a thing? I figured it was one of those things that quietly disappeared from low take rate.   I thought Chevrolet tried adding it too...   Minimal.   Despite all the 'all new' versions since GMT-800, lots of parts still swap from generation to generation.   I've seen a bunch of GMT-800s with a K2 rear bumper on them. 
    • We still haven't seen the GMC's. I expect the Chevys to more orr less match the Fords, but with no all aluminum body and simple SBC, be significantly more affordable. I'm hoping GMC offers the 6.7 engine and lays it all out on the line. My main question? More premium GMC's already use composite leads out back. Does Chevy get any? What other frame/suspension changes?
