I understand this is a rant, but I'm having heartburn reading this and I'm extremely confused.

A. If parking assist isn't working on a new truck, that's easy warranty work.

B. If it's a high country, chances are that you have TPMS. It's all digital in the center guage cluster.

C. "Dealers website and Chevys"..... All trucks come with TONS of different options that you can add/delete. So you're telling me that you bought a $60k truck without looking at packages/options or even a window sticker??

1. For the park assist, that's why there's a warranty.

2. It's a 1-ton diesel. TPMS isn't required on vehicles above 10k GVWR, so you may not have it. It stinks that you were mislead, but if I was dropping that much money on a truck, I'd best be sure it was what I wanted it to be.

3. DEF gauge is probably in the DIC

4. (:

Time for a dealer visit. If you aren't familiar with the DIC display and settings, ask here. You can add-subtract what screens scroll thru from a list. I may be wrong, but parking assist may be in the selectable list as well.

Fyi, the radar has issues with ice. Very common for it to give false warnings when it’s cold out.

I had an issue with my 2016 Sierra 1500, DIC said to service park assist system intermittently, my truck only has the rear sensors. Finally took it to the dealer when my stabilitrak stopped working and I lost the steering angle and incline readings on my off road screen. Turned out to be a broken wire leading to the BCM. Of course the truck was out of warranty so it cost a pretty penny but since the wiring was fixed a few months ago I haven’t had any issues with the rear park assist (even with snow and sleet build up on the sensors) or any other functions. The dealer is pretty sure that there was at least a crack in the wire from the factory.

My 2016 Silverado High Country park assist is malfunctioning. Sensor and display shows something at right front passenger side when nothing is there. Truck is clean and sensors are clear. It only seems to do it in cold weather. The dealer had it for 3 days the first time and 5 days the second time. They replaced the computer and sensors to no avail. Why is it still misreading/ malfunctioning? Very frustrating. I would rather not have them if they aren't going to work right.

This may sound stupid but was there a car ahead of you to the right at all (I know you said nothing there, but maybe where normally it wouldn’t pick it up) like maybe at a stop light? I ask because on cold days, when I’m sitting in traffic and a car that is still warming up putting out a lot of steam/exhaust (you know when you start your car when it’s cold and clouds of exhaust gas billows out) out, my sensors pick it up. Happens on both sides just depends on where they are sitting. My sensors would not pick up the actual vehicle, just the foggy mess coming out the back of their car like in the picture...I know it’s a long shot but figured I’d at least share my experience. The sensors never fail or give false warnings except when they pick up this exhaust from a car slightly ahead of me on either side.

Any chance they have checked to see if the camera in your rearview mirror housing (Front Collision Alert/Lane Departure) is still good? At this point I would have them check everything before you warranty expires.

Not a bad call, they will pick up cars in front of you, cars going through the intersection, and so on. Most times I think they designed them after the Munster's episode when they trapped Grandpa as a bat and thought he was drunk flying around, because his sonar did not work so well.
