I just noticed this after owning the truck for about 9 months but the speed info tab gives you the speed limit on the road your on and changes accordingly how cool is that?

Yes- and next time your out check out how accurate it is.  If you watch it will change almost immediately when you pass a speed limit sign when it changes.  I've always wondered how can it possibly know where every single speed limit sign is but it is remarkably accurate. Only works on more prevalent roads though, doesn't seem to work well around town or residential streets.

 

I could be wrong but I also think there's a setting where it will beep at you when you go over.

Pretty cool when it’s accurate. Don’t let it get you in trouble. Mine is inaccurate every now and then. There’s one road I drive every day with a posted limit of 45mph. Truck says it’s 50mph every time.

How do you get this? I run the MPH mode in my Sierra all the time and never have seen that, haven't seen it in setting either.

Wonder if it is tied to Navigation, so if you have factory NAV you get it and if you don't then maybe it's not available?

 

I found this in the owners manual of my 2017 under Instruments and Controls (page 158)

I'm pretty sure it is tied to the NAV. My '16 has that feature and I have NAV and my dad has no NAV and no feature.

Yup. It’s tied to the map data used for the navigation. As others have pointed out, this can be out of date. Be careful. Very cool feature, though.

Thats too bad. I use android auto all the time and keep hoping it will update with something similar. Honestly it's never a situation where I want to know the exact speed but sometimes you'll pull onto a road you're not familiar with and won't see signs for a while so it's a guess if it's a 35 or 55 road. Tiny thing but cool.

If you use Waze on Android Auto it does have the speed limit on it. But same as the onboard NAV one, not 100% accurate but I'd say 98% accurate for it.

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

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
