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.

I turned my ACC off because it seemed to act wonky for cars turning way in front of me. Like, a car would slow down and turn several hundred feet ahead of me, they’d make their turn and then my truck would jam the brake when they were already clear of the road. Would also randomly slow down. Really frustrating. Also ACC doesn’t like direct sunlight going up a hill. Mine would disable on every sunny morning commute.

It’s great for interstate cruising though.

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!

First post here. Great nuggets posted, I read through the entire thread.

One thing I noticed on my ‘19 LTZ - it’s more of a why this but not that instance - is album artwork is displayed at the track level on the center stack when using Apple Car Play, but not when playing files from a usb drive, despite album art being in the ID3 tags.

Guess it’s some sorta safety feature.

I believe it has to do with copyright infringement laws. Apple Music has rights to the album cover artwork but Chevy does not. When playing music through the Apple CarPlay app it would be legal but not through Chevy’s infotainment system. I could be wrong.

Thanks, figured it was for either safety or legal reasons. I was hoping that Gracenote would attach its album artwork to the music as it indexed the files. Surely they can do it from a legal perspective.

 

Kind of a bummer to know my '19 Silverado can't accommodate art from a USB but my '11 BMW can.

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! 

Wait.  Is this why I found 4 TPMS in my 2019 Sierra glovebox that I bought a month ago?  To install them in a trailer?

Thanks.  May end up with a trailer some day or may need to replace at some point when I do tires on the truck, so will prob just hold onto them...

Not much of a discovery but the trailer tire pressure monitoring is awesome!!

Thats a pretty cool feature in my opinion...  My trailer doesn't have TPMS sensors, do you have to get certain ones to sync to the truck?

My first post here.?

Just bought a 2020 and needed to hard wire my radar detector. Right (PS) side of dash has a fuse block. Found several 1/4" spade type male connectors here.. Most were 12Volt's DC(+) constant battery powered, but found one that was ignition controlled. Used a push on 1/4" female insulated connector with inline fuse (+) and grounded (-) to the metal support brace that was there and now my radar detector turns on only when the truck is running.Tucked the wire up into front of headliner and down right (PS) A-Pillar.?

Need more info haha

Just got my 2020 LTZ CC, and noticed that there was a 'button' on the back of power running boards, that when tapped, shifts the board back to a rear position that makes a step to reach into the front part of the bed. Very cool and neat feature if you ask me!

Good morning. New owner of a Silverado 1500 LTZ Crew Cab short box. I’ve only had it for 2 weeks. So I’m still discovering how freakin awesome this truck is. But so far. The seat cooling feature is absolutely amazing. Especially when it’s 90 degrees outside. And I absolutely love the led headlights. Those things are really bright.

Reading through the owners manual about a month go I found out about "modes". "Sport", L8 is quite the nice performance setting. Use it all the time unless on the interstate. I purchased a 'Range" device and didn't bother to install it.

      Did you ever get this worked out? Mike is doing the two start thing now too. This is after a new camera back in December.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
