For those who like to drift in the snow or need to turn off the traction control in sticky situations, hold down the traction control for about 5 seconds and the stabilitrak will also turn off, which turns off the traction control "even more". If stabilitrak is still on it will not let the wheels spin freely. This also works for other trucks as well, especially fords. This came in handy for the rental in colorado for doing donuts in the parking lot haha

this works.. but stabilitrack seems to kick out at bout 40-50kmh on my 2017.

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.

Yep, stabilitrak turns itself back on above about 50kmh, traction control stays off.

Sorry, that one was in a different thread. 

 

For simplicity’s sake, pull off the driver’s side fuse panel cover and switch this 50 fuse from the position it’s in, to the second position...  referred to in the owner’s manual as postions 10&11. 

 

This changes the power outlet on the dash from constant, to RAP (switches off after 10 minutes).  

 

Hope that helps!

Many thanks for this. I have a stripped 2019 GMC Sierra Limited double cab and I occasionally use a Garmin GPS for navigation. I wanted the 12-volt dash outlet to be switched in order to shut off the GPS when the truck was key off.

I have a question about the 50 amp fuse is positions 10/11... I have it in the position for battery (11), I want to be able to leave my phone charging occasionally when out of the truck, but it doesn't seem to stay on.  If I'm gone for an extended period I can hear the phone make the tone like it was just plugged in and starting to charge when I open the door or get into the seat. It would only do this if it hadn't been charging.  Now I am using the USB ports in the center stack and not the power outlets.... I just assumed that the RAP power or Battery power was to the USB and Power Outlets...  Was I wrong or am I missing something else?

If you have the floor console the constant-power only works for the outlets under the accessory switches.  The USB outlets inside the center console and the 12V on the rear of the center console still shut off after 10 minutes.

Thanks...I realized I wasn't clear about which USB ports...

 

I am talking about the 3 USB ports on the center stack that are with the two power outlets and the 110 AC outlet.  I haven't tested to power outlets to see if they stay on, but I guess I just thought it would all stay on with fuse in right position.

It may have something to do with the driver door. If you go from passenger door, turn truck on and off then your radio will still play till RAP shuts off.

I wondered about that. But I was thinking on "battery power" would mean they would stay powered regardless of door being open. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pull interior door handle twice to open a locked door, even while in motion. You don't have to put the truck in park or manually unlock the doors to let someone out. Perfect for dumping off your side piece as quick as possible.

Probably not, but if she doesn't care about your wife, she probably isn't too classy anyway. I don't condone throwing handguns out of trucks. They are soon to be gone in my country if the Libs get in again which concerns me.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
