that was my first thought (as well as the wife's), but i havent found anything definitively explaining that, and if i had a young kid and was supposed to use this, i'd have no clue how its supposed to attach to it.

I think the child safety seat has a clip that engages on it...I've only attached a seat a hand full of times but it's been a while

could be. Hell, its been over 20 years since i had to fool with one of those things with my two boys, so maybe the new ones have something specifically designed for those things and car manf.'s are installing them in all new vehicles nowadays. As i said in another post, this is a 2017 model, and the last truck i had was an 03 crew duramax, and it definitely didnt have these.

Is this the feature titled "LATCH"?

 

I also am too old to have had any experience with this technology. I used to let my kids lay up in the deck below the rear window, while I smoked cigarettes on the way to grandma's house.

 

No. Wait. That was me and MY parents...

It's a latch strap for a carseat when it's in the forward facing position.

They are for the upper tether on forward facing car seats. You are supposed to take the tether from your car seat and go through the loop directly behind it. Then attach the tether to one of the loops next to the seat. Then tighten it up.

If you go on YouTube and type in "How to put a child seat into a 2016 GMC Sierra Double Cab" they show you how to put in your seat using the loops

Yes they are the LATCH system. It's listed in the manual under "Child Safety Seats".

      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.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.
