Had a look at the new Denali yesterday.

No one could tell me how the tilt steering worked other that that lever in the middle of the column.

Hoping that isn’t the only way to adjust.

Also, power pedal adjustment gone?

May not make a move...

Correct.

No power adjustable pedals in the 2019 T1 trucks.

Also no turn signal indicator lights in side mirrors.

Both two thumbs down in my book .

Didn’t know about the turn signals. Interesting.
How about the tilt steering?

Steering wheel is either tilt only or tilt and telescoping, depending on trim level.

Denali should have both.

It is operated by the single lever under the steering column for both functions.

I don’t like that at all. I guess I will Wait a few years

In the years past I have always had tilt wheels without the telescoping feature. My 19 is the first to have the telescoping and I love it. You release the lever in the column move up and down on the steering wheel to tilt it and pull out to telescope it. At first I was disappointed about not having the power adjustable pedals too. In my opinion the power pedals are really not needed once you get your steering wheel, and seat adjusted to your liking. Overall I’ve noticed a big change in how everything is layed out. It’s much easier to navigate all the features of the truck going down the road. I would recommend taking some time to get everything adjusted the way you like it and take that puppy on a test drive. I don’t think you will be disappointed. ?

Actually the new trucks disappoint me over my 2016. So does the tilt steering, turn signal in the mirror, power pedals and more. May just keep what I have for a few more years.

Turn Signal in the mirror = not good if you have blind spot monitor mirrors.  All the different lights would conflict. 

 

Power pedals -  I personally never touched them on my 2014 or 2016, and could care less they are gone now.  But I know a lot of people share vehicles and like it.  I guess the telescoping wheel gives more adjustment and GM felt no need for the pedals.

What is nice and it is only in the SUV's  Tahoe and Suburban is the power telescoping and tilt steering wheel.  Love it in our Burb.  When I get in to drive all the adjustments go to my settings which is really nice.

 

Why GM didn't keep that feature is beyond me. One would think they would have at least had it in the High Country or Denali package.  I guess they did away with it to help get down on the weight of the truck.

These aren’t huge issues but when you add them all up and then you have the cost to it....it does become a bit of a disappointment.

On my 2019 High Country the steering wheel tilts and telescopes with a single lever on the bottom of the steering column.  I was originally concerned about no power pedals since my wife always needed them in the past.  On the 19 she is able to adjust the seat and steering wheel to comfortably drive the Truck without need of the power pedals.   I miss the turn signal indicator lights in the side mirrors, however I would not trade them for blind spot monitor indicator in the mirror.

GM dropped the ball on these 2019 1500s so far. De-contenting has never resulted in increased sales. A gimmicky tailgate does not create sales. Nor does omitting the items you mentioned, and don't forget no CD player. Sure, CDs aren't popular like they once were, but many people still have them in their vehicles because not everything they listen to is on their phone.

Am I the only one who likes that the steering wheel adjustments are not powered? When I get in and out of my truck I always raise the steering all the way up so I am not smoking my legs against it. I am not even tall and figured this would be a larger pain if I was..

I have had a tilt steering columns in cars and trucks dating back to my 1973 Buick and in all of these vehicles I have raised the steering wheel to get out.  I recently tried out a 2019 Denali and when I got in my right leg drug on the bottom of the steering wheel.  I looked for the tilt lever and was disappointed by what you had to do to adjust the wheel.  But, once adjusted to my liking, I found I did not have to adjust it again and I liked it.  My 2014 Sierra and my 2017 Denali both had the adjustable pedals and I never found a need to adjust them as long as they were all the way down.  I really liked the 2019 and it felt both quicker and smoother than my 2017.  Also it was quieter and rode better.  While I really like my 2017 I plan on trading as soon as GM starts to offer some incentives on the new trucks.

No power tilt/tele in the Denalis? Hmm..in my 10yr old BMW and our Infiniti SUV, the power tilt/tele is tied to memory settings and will automatically move out of the way and seat will move back when ignition is turned off.  Considering an SLT 6.2 nearby. Power pedals missing is not major, but I read that rain-sensing wipers are not available either (but once were)?

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
