Hi!  New to the forum.  Does anyone know for sure if the +/- switch on the gear selector has a back light?

Welcome to this forum!  You have posted an interesting question which has sparked my curiosity as to why you ask.  The different needs and wants we have with respect to vehicles I find interesting.  Does the competition light up their column shifters?   I've been looking at a plain Suburban at my dealership.  It has no carpet or console but has rain sensing wipers!  Lights and sensors may be factory issue decisions but there must be a perceived or real market for these features.  Locating my shift in the dark or recognizing rain are behaviors I take for granted but maybe I shouldn't!  ;-)

Right?!

Rain sensing wipers should be standard on every vehicle. That is one option I really like on our other cars.

To each their own. I'm not a fan. I prefer RainX and hardly ever use my wipers (unless it's a torrential downpour)

I thought I was the only one that did this. lol!

 

There can be a crazy storm and I'm still there with a mid-level intermittent setting at best. :lol:

Agreed. Same here. I find the wipers going back and forth extremely annoying. I get even more annoyed riding with someone and they have crappy wipers they keep running. I actually bought a set of wiper blades for a coworker that I rode with often because his were driving me insane,?

So the light question has been answered and the discussion was inadvertently changed to rain sensing wipers.   I would find this option as handy as the automatic headlight feature. Nice,  but very low on my priority list.  I would value  carpeted floors in a Suburban more than auto-on wipers.  Of course I remember when intermittent wipers were a frivolous option!...

don't know about the +/- button being back-lit would be something that'd make a difference for me. 

 

The rain sensing wipers however would be nice.  My wife's car has that & its very convenient.  Better than intermittent wipers as the only wipe when needed instead of at preset intervals.  We can adjust sensitivity as well so it doesn't go on for nearly no reason.

I ceramic coated my windshield so I use mine a lot less than never. lol

Ditto on the RainX, however if the Truck had Rain sensing wipers I would not have to treat with RainX. Loved this feature on the Durango I had before switching over to the Silverado.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
