2019 Start Stop Disable Module

JacobC1983 · October 14, 2018

I am having a hard time understanding why it is such a big deal to just hit the button to turn it off when you start the truck. The ignition button and auto start/stop button are about three inches away from each other. You don't even have to wait to hit it the auto start/stop button. Hitting these two buttons in succession is still less movement than turning a key.

Disabled by the tap of a button.. not a big deal and not worth modifying imo.

I agree, I just picked mine up yesterday and already am used to hitting the disable switch. No big deal.

Most of the switch, signal, and other information is in the upfitter manual for the new trucks.

IDK Why people busted this guys balls. I'm down for a solution. I hate the feature and its annoying having to press another button EVERY SINGLE TIME I drive the truck. I have a BMW 535i as well and it will save the setting if you turn it off. GM should have made it the same, give us the choice

Theres a company that already makes a plug and play device called autostop eliminator for the GM and Ford trucks that remembers your preference for the auto start stop crap based upon what you had it set to when you shut the vehicle off. As for the starters and batteries being designed for this stupid feature, that might be partially true, but the fact is that the factory really only cares that they last beyond the factory warranty, so I'd be willing to bet they'll last roughly the same amount of time/miles (5-10 yrs on average) as any other starter and battery. Either way, the feature is just a gimmick to improve fuel economy during the EPA fuel economy testing but has negligible benefits to most folks during real world driving. It adds cost and complexity to these vehicles that is unnecessary, and ultimately shortens the useful life of the vehicle.

Do all of the 2019 Silverado and Sierra's have a switch to disable it when you start your truck?

Yes, every truck that has start/stop has the disable switch.

Worth noting that the base level trucks do not have start/stop to begin with. That would include WT/Custom/Custom TB and base Sierra. They use last years engines.

As far as I know these are still pre order. However I do know the Ford guys loved these and I see you can get one for around 70 bucks if you pre order. I think I'm gonna buy one.
