First Pick-Up truck :)  I just retired (well, forced retirement) my 1999 Isuzu Trooper :)

Most other vehicles I've seen have the audio controls on the front of the steering wheel....

Wait, come to think of it, my SS's were on the front side too! ?

I found out this weekend that while using Android Auto (maybe CarPlay as well) if you rotate the right radio knob it will zoom the map in and out.

Discovered this today.... if you press on the skinny pedal on the right, you can find Ford F-150's in the rear view mirror...   They just appear there... its like magic!

In case you were wondering...  Two bottles of wine fit in the door compartment perfectly!

Front of the wheel is just sort of awkward. Think the last vehicle we had with the volume controls on the front was a 1999 Aurora. Also had climate controls on the other side, which was kind of cool and not seen anymore. Otherwise, even Chrysler products have had the buttons on the back from at least the mid-90s on. Don’t know about Fords.

a power-lift tailgate is not available on the 2019 Sierra in any trim/option/package; that's a Chevy exclusive. 

 

The remote up window feature is a typo slated for update. Remote roll up in a pinch hazard. Certain vehicles you can get a module that plugs into your OBDII port and will autoclose the windows. I had one on my 2011 regal, cost me $12 on ebay. 

 

The 2016 and up Sierra has has remote window down.

My 2015 had it as well.

This is caused by one thing.   Lawyers.

 

(Sorry in advance if any of you are actually lawyers :seeya:)

So... If you are reading that message and crash, Can you sue GM for distracting the driver by requiring them to read the message and hit OK or would the message be used against you as in that was your warning not to take your eyes off the road? ?

And heated seats and steering wheel if you have them.

And the ventilated seats as well when hot out.

My 2012 Kia and my wife's 2013 Toyota both have buttons on the front of the wheel for audio controls and my cruise control buttons are also on the front of the wheel.  Based on the GMs I've driven, I have no strong preference between the two locations.

This is the standard view yes. I don’t have the max trailer package either. If you have the extra sensors I would think your truck has the package. Think it is called the pro trailer package or something like that. Really enjoying it so far! Only wish it could handle more trailers! 

I have the pro trailering system and the truck came with 4 TPS  for a trailer. I read somewhere where it will support multiple trailers if you purchase more sensors obviously.

I believe it will support up to 6 sensors! So I guess that could be three single axle trailers. I just have a few double axle trailers!

Six sensors per trailer
multiple trailers can be programmed

Was at the OBX this week on vacation. When airing the tires up after wheeling on the beach, the horn beeps when each tire reaches the correct pressure.

I have a LT Trailboss and this does not work, is this not on all trucks?

I don't know, my truck is an RST. The truck was running when airing up. We aired up multiple times and it did it each time for each tire.

my 1998 beetle has auto up widows that have a safety built in.  It they hit your hand, they go back down.  Also, you can open and close the windows with the key in the drivers door.  Just twist and hold in the appropriate direction.  This was 20 years ago!!

Yep, unfortunately Dan is correct. I just tried it. No power up.  

On my High Country,  on the remote, press the tailgate button twice to lower it.  Press it once then hold it down and it closes

I've been reading about the air in the tire beeping LOL.  I found on my build sheet where they list it.  Not sure if it's standard but definitely listed as an item on the build sheet.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
