When u lock the doors with your remote, you can’t just push the button on the door to unlock the truck from the inside. The switch won’t work. I guess it’s part of the theft deterrent system. (Can’t put a coat hanger thru the window and hit the button)

My 2018 has an anti-sleep function and built-in seat and steering wheel massage.   To activate the anti-sleep function, just get up to cruising speed on the highway.  The vibrating and deep

I couldn't figure out what what going on when my high beams started turning on by themselves, I later found out that if you double tap the brights it turns the auto high beam feature on/off.

This is the way my 015 1/2 ton works if I leave the cargo light “on” it lights up (dash switch and cargo light) when placed in reverse then goes out when shifted out of reverse. Will also come back “on” when shifted into park.

yes my 17 works the same. I wish it could be toggled on to turn off when locked , like the perimeter lights

Reading through the manual, at work tonight (slow night), and if you tap the turn signal, it will flash three times, BUT if you tap the turn signal in "tow/haul mode," it will flash six times.

 

P.175-176

"Raise or lower the lever for less than one second until the arrow starts to flash to signal a lane change. This causes the turn signals to automatically flash three times. It will flash six times, if Tow/Haul Mode is active. Holding the turn signal lever for more than one second will cause the turn signals to flash until the lever is released."

 

If I'm playing a playlist off of my thumb drive, it will not continue playing when I restart my vehicle.    My '15 would continue playing where it left off, but my '18 won't.  :mad:

Corrected statement, thanks Brummie99 for catching that.

My 18 picks up where it left off, but...

It is hit and miss if it remembers to keep the "shuffle on"

My "shuffle" randomly turns off too.

Ditto. 

 

Also, it doesn’t play nicely when you have an SD card full of music in the SD card slot either. USB works much better.

I've posted on this before, but my '17 will randomly drop all my USB playlists and such from my favorites.  No apparent rhyme or reason . . .

 Does it find them again? Or do they stay lost? I haven’t had anything lost, but it will occasionally stop randomizing when playing off a USB stick. All I do is turn shuffle off and back on again. 

 

As far as the SD card...  sometimes it will just pick one song and play that. ONLY that. Over and over.

The whole story is the USB stick works pretty well, but occasionally stops randomizing. I just turn off random and turn it back on. It’s my preferred media for its consistency. 

 

SD plays it’s own game...  sometimes it works fine (like the USB stick), sometimes it picks a song and sticks with it (even if it’s Selfie by the Chainsmokers)...

 

The USB and SD each have their own icon but when scrolling through My Media Library with the “Media” button, there is one setting that is a musical note as an icon and I have no idea which media device it’s pulling the song from, so I can only assume it’s using them all, but not sure. (Both the USB and SD have the identical song list because this is somewhat experimental)...

Not that I've noticed.  They're gone gone.  It's the same whether it's an "Album," "Artist," or "Playlist."

 

It seems to be worse if I've playing off the USB drive and shut the truck off.  But not every time, though.

According to my manual, the 6-flash is triggered by enabling tow/haul mode. This occurs whether or not a trailer is connected.

I see a setting that I can have the ventilated seats turn on with remote start in my 2018.....They never turn on though. Is there a trick to this or am I misunderstanding the feature?

From how I understand that feature it’s temperature dependent. So the heated seats will only turn on when it’s cold and the ventilated one’s when it’s hot, when the vehicle starts. Maybe it hasn’t been hot enough yet? Not sure about your area.

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
