Very last sentence. 

Ok, I see how you might interpret this, thanks for your comments.

“Avoid rapid acceleration” does not mean “don’t do this”. The caution sections says make sure it’s disengaged before driving, which it does when you tap the accelerator.

That's how I read it too.

Installed the Auto Stop Eliminator on Monday... was wondering if it would be worth it, but it's actually kind of nice to not have to remember to press the button every time I start my truck.

I didn't know this existed until now!  Thank you!  I just looked it up and I'm buying one. Such a simple thing but drives me crazy.  I have a 6.2 with borla atak and hearing that rumble of it starting and stopping when I forget to hit button is so annoying!

Some features I liked noticed that I haven't seen posted - 

 

The windshield HUD in tech package equipped trucks can convert the speed limit sign to a bar graph that shows how far under (or over) the speed limit you are. To me this is a big improvement over the little speed limit sign and makes the HUD way more useful. 

 

Don't know if this will disappear when my onstar trial is up, but the myGMC app will tell you how many gallons are left in the tank under the vehicle status screen which can be handy. 

 

Also found that connecting the truck to my phone as a wifi hotspot enables all the downloadable apps on the head unit like spotify to work just fine which is nice if you have unlimited data and don't want to pay for the onstar service. Handy if you just want to throw your phone on the wireless charger and browse for music on the head unit without having to plug in for Android/Carplay.

Hmmmm,adjustable sun visor....???? 
Wondering what they could have added as more useful convenience .
Sun glass holder ......
Tray in console......
I literally use mine every morning or I'd have sun in my eyes for about an hour straight.

Here is another cool feature I found. I'm sure its been mentioned, but didn't want to dig through 30 pages looking for it. [emoji4]
 
 If you are plugging up your phone to use apple car play or android auto, you can plug in your cable inside the console and run your cable out under the console handle. They left room for your cables.  The will keep it cleaner and less cables in the way of your cupholders and stuff.

I do not understand why the 2020 doesn’t have this.

What trim level? My 2017 LT Z71 had USB ports in the console but my 2020 LT Z71 does not.

I havn't read this entire thread but did stumble on this conversation. If you put the shift lever in L and select a top gear the autostop is disabled. I believe the DFM maybe too, I'm still trying to determine this. I have a gut feeling that either/and/or sport and offroad modes disable them also. 

 

In my '15 Z71, I would put the shifter L5  unless I was doing 70 on the highway.That way the AFM wasn't always kicking on and off driving around town. With the '20 Im using L7 for in town L9 for local highways and wont hit drive until on an interstate.  I grew up with sticks and I still like to shift, even if it is with a button. Wife has a Buick Lacrosse with 9spd and paddles. I love taking that thing out and playing F1 with some Beamers! ?

I realized that the adaptive cruise is great for stop and go traffic where I no longer have to worry about the engine shutting off when it auto stops behind a vehicle. I also realized that I dont have the hold the brake as the vehicle is doing it for me, really makes stop and go with stop start actually bearable. Use the auto stop at your own discretion, you keep your foot close to the brake pedal when you are letting the machine do its thing.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
