What's the next mod we all want Phil Gamboa to figure out?

I want to have the power memory seats be a "one-press" button as well.  Why do I have to hold the button down???  

So this might be known already, but if you set the Auto memory recall (includes seats, mirrors, pedals) in the infotainment system when you get in with your key/fob it will sense which fob it is and move the seat to the saved position. You can also set an exit position(shared feature between all keys called "Easy exit recall") that moves the seat when you open your door. I am about 6'3 and the wife is about 5'2 so its nice never having to "adjust" the seat or mirrors. Just be sure which key you have as I was driving with key 2 and didnt know it, I wanted key one lol.

That’s nice and all of you take the keys out every night and each use a different set of keys and key fob. We never remove the keys from our vehicles because they are in a locked garage each night. So one key is always used.

Her Acadia has the same issue with the button. Got to hold it down to get the seat to the saved position.

Hell my wife's Buick has it too.  

 

I never understand why GM is so different across their brands with stuff like this.

If you hold down on the unlock button it moves the seat like just about every other vehicle that does it with one click? Wish I had known this for the last several years. Don't know how many times I've went to jump in and get rejected because the wife was the last to drive it and the seat was nearly to the dash.

I don't know about the unlock button.  Mine has the programmable seats, with a position 1 & 2 on the door.  And a third position meant to go "all the way back" for exiting.

 

My wife's Buick you can tap the buttons and they'll go to their programmed position.  My truck you have to hold the button down.

Our 2016 Suburban is the same way. You have to hold the button down. Our 2011 Acadia you jut hit the button and the seats and all moved.

Another thing is the high beam switch. What is with having to move it forward to turn on the high beams and then pull back to turn them off. On my 2014 Cruze when you move the turn signal handle forward it is spring loaded to return back to normal position. Then to turn the high beams off you can either pull it back and let go or push it forward and let go. To me this is a better set up.

I dont know if it has been said, but my 2014 High Country is 1 touch seat recall when truck is ON. Only have to hold it when truck is OFF.

Yep since I’ve had my 18 I definitely miss my power rear sliding window. I’m throwing that in the list of things for Phil lol. You can use my truck for the guinea pig if you want. I have no problem making the trip lol

Make the temperature gauge on the stereo display the correct outside temp without having to meet all the BS requirements of:

 

The outside temperature will begin to update if driven above 20 mph for at least 5 minutes. If the vehicle speed drops below 20 mph, the timer will reset and the display will stop updating. Once the display starts to update, it may take several more minutes of driving above 20 mph for the display to fully update.

 

Why not just have the true outside temp displayed, and then behind the scenes have the "the truck is trying to figure out what ambient temp it needs to tell the computer it is" algorithm going directly to the computer that needs to know that?

That drives me nuts! There are days that it never updates. Makes me think there is something wrong with it.

Maybe a stupid question, is there a way to have the current hvac setting for a 2018 LT display all the time? Mine displays when I change something but then goes away. I'd like it to always show on the screen what settings are active...

    • Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.          
    • Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.  
    • I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
