Ok, so you guys probably all know this, but this thing has computer controlled louvers to regulate airflow in front of the radiator.  Never seen such a thing.  Should help with faster warmup from cold and a bit better mileage from improved aerodynamics when the air is cold...kinda like cowl flaps on an old radial aircraft engine.

 

Old news, I'm sure, but was new to me.

Well, it isn't old news to you! I just want to caution you if you decide you want one of those grill mounted light bars...to my knowledge, nobody makes a bar that fits into the grill without modifying the active grill shutters...:thumbs:

That sounds like a diesel?

Negative. I have this on my 5.3L. Started in 2017 I believe.

Rough Country makes a 30" curved light bar kit for the grill. Bolts right up perfectly, have one on mine.

Do you have active grill shutters?

Shoot my bad, I did not notice you were talking about the shutters, I must have misread it. I do not have the shutters on my 2016, those were new on the 2017 and up.

I was able to get a light bar between the grille and shutters on my 2017 Sierra but I do have an aftermarket grille as well.8dd60a178b249c012f45187db1d2ceb9.jpgd23b5f8849c303797537a6bedfe1367e.jpg

I like the light!  

 

Nope, haven’t seen those louvres yet. New to me, not on my 2015 6.0L

 

I wonder if they would play nicely with a snowy, icy northern climate…

Well they’ve been around for a while and I haven’t heard of anyone having problems...well other than making it difficult to fit the light bars in there.

No way to roll up with fob? 

 

I like the auto down feature and was showing it off but then had to get in truck and roll up with switches. 

Scrolling through this feed and I am intrigued by the idea of rolling down the windows using the unlock button on the fob as well as the ability to fold in your mirrors using the lock button on the fob.  I'm driving a 2018 Sierra and am not able to do either of these.  Do you know of a particular setting that i need to adjust or anything?

My 2017 has this feature and I didn't even realize it a while back. Then I saw someone post about it having to be turned on through the in dash screen, it is under vehicle settings. Sure enough my truck has it, it just wasn't turned on.

Just a quick Thank You to everyone that's contributed to this thread. I've had my '16 Silvy less then a month and have learned more from this thread than I thought possible.

My settings to enable or disable those features are in the infotainment system.  The mirrors are in comfort and convince (I think) and I forget where the window is located, but they are both in there if equipped on your vehicle.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
