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. :thumbs:

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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
