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.

Filled a tire up on my truck yesterday and the horn beeped when at the right pressure! Pretty cool.

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!  

AT4CK!

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

Just noticed the LED white  night lighting behind the driver and passenger door handles. 

Nice touch. 

Is there a way of turning them off cause I don't have those, and I would think it should have them.

Maybe not a cool feature, but interesting...  I notice that the T1s moved the side mirrors to the actual door panel instead of the window triangle.    Not sure why I noticed that, but now that I have, I see it in every car on the road... seems majority of vehicles have them mounted in the triangle... but a few others have door mounted mirrors... I'm sure they had their reasons.....

Helps reduce NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness) It helps keep vibrations off the glass which reduces wind noise. I'm sure there is more to it but that's the most obvious. Ford does this with the Mustang as well.

Exactly.  Thousands of hours spent in the wind tunnel to find the sweet spot for the side view mirrors.

A few guys here have also said these new mirrors have much better visibility than the ones on the K2s.

They are considerably better, IMO. First, they are LARGE mirrors again. Second, the positioning of them off the window/door corner, moved a little lower really does improve the angle for better POV from the driver's seat.

And I feel like there is better visibility going around a left turn when there is a median or something.

I am hugely happy with how it reacts to remote starting in the cold.

 

full defrost. Heated seats on. Heated steering wheel.

 

awesome

Yea they did a better job on this truck than the K2's. Remote start used your last HVAC setting, heated seats on low, and no heated steering wheel until you got in and hit the button...

The “Peremiter Lighting System” succeeds the the previous, cargo box lighting feature on the K2 Generation. On the 2019 Silverado, the Perimeter Lighting System is standard on top two trim levels; LTZ & High Country. On the 2019 Sierra, the Perimiter lighting is available on 3 trim levels; SLT, AT4, and Denali.

 

The Perimeter Lighting system illuminates the truck’s bed as well as the area around the vehicle, thereby helping owners see their truck as well as immediately surrounding area in poorly-lit conditions, including dark worksites, camping grounds and driveways.

 

 

Is this standard for all AT4’s? Does that include the light on the side view mirrors? 
 

I looked at an AT4 that had them, could not find which package it was included in.

Apple CarPlay and navigation - the HUD and Driver Information Screen will only show navigation when using the onboard navigation but not with when using Apple CarPlay (Assume Google is the same) That's too bad. I tried to "trick" it by using both but engaging one navigation will cancel the other. 

So, if I understand correctly. If you use WAZE as an app on your Apple phone, you could NOT display it on the infotainment screen while the car was in motion?

It does display on the infotainment system, not on the HUD. All Waze functions works via touchscreen.

      There you go again.  Preaching your politics and worse case scenarios.  And what are you doing to make the world less polarized?

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Maybe.   Maybe.   I don't want to be the one that needs help and can't get it when I need it. That is a legitimate complaint, and how they respond to those legitimate complaints is a big red flag to me.   I don't care how good the product is their conduct is subpar. Some people are fine supporting that for the sake of getting the product they want. I'm not.   To be fair, I haven't seen or touched their product in person to determine for myself the quality of it. I'm not offering any opinion on that either.

      So if you do nothing and they act on their threats like death to America or Israel. And possibly a nuclear war. Whoever survives wonders why didn’t they listen? Or we do something like every President has said they can’t get a nuclear weapon. We’re at the 10 yard line and it happens the time is now or never. I think I’m ok with paying a little more for gas for awhile. It’s a shame that we now live in a world that’s so polarized.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      4-5-6 fails due to design.  Not enough clutches and not enough piston to clutch surface area.  Also the backing plate can bow.     I'd say converter is two part.  The design of converter chosen, and factory tuning of it aka slipping it in D (also L6) for AFM purposes, as well as locking it up in 2nd gear, sometimes 1st, also it will partially lock up at light loads.  All because CAFE/fuel economy requirements.  A billet converter on the stock tune might hold up better, but would still be subject to the stock tuning and how its designed to lock or partially lock.     The most baffling part to me, is the 2007-2013 6L80s didn't have the failure rate the 2014-2018 ones do.  I've been where I work for almost 17 years now, and I recall maybe 3 or 4 of the 07-13 transmissions getting pulled for something.  14-18 on the other hand, it was at a minimum one a month being opened up.    If I had to guess, I'd say the tuning for the gen 5 engines/6L80 setup and its fuel economy goals had a good bit to do with it.  Also, it was bankruptcy time during these years, so I'm thinking some cost cutting was done for the launch of the K2XX trucks.  See also now the 10 speed valve body issues (more cost cutting).  They blow out some mesh screen in the spacer plate, undersized check ball, and the feed limit valve was aluminum and wears out prematurely.         I don't think it was the HP jump from the gen 4 to gen 5?  The 6.2 in the 07-13 trucks was good for 380-400hp during its life/states of tune, and the 5.3 did 310-320hp.
