I need to get some more information on this.  Are you saying that I can get my WAZE specific directions to display o the DIC between my speedometer and my RPM gauge?  Which app are you giving the permissions to?

 

No. Only on the main display in the center stack.

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!

No. He is saying it will display on the infotainment screen (radio). Only factory nav or OnStar so between the gauges.

Econometrics, do you still own this truck I have some guy in Memphis telling me he will sell me an RST but it doesn’t have a title. He sent me a picture and said it was old. When I reverse searches the pic it was one you have posted on here.

Yes I do. Sitting in my garage. You’re getting gassed. 
 

Glad you asked!

Thanks, the guy kept giving me fake VINs. Was pretty obviously a scam. I messed with him a while and finally asked him how the scam works . At which point he deleted his Facebook account... Rude!

 

Sorry for the disturbance to the original topic here!

2021 RST 3.0 Duramax is the only model with a lower grille between the tow hooks. Also there are motor powered louvers behind the main grill that open and close depending on temp. 

 

Also, I read somewhere that if you connect  a AGM battery charger directly to the positive and negative terminals the battery, the "Auto Stop/Start" function is deactivated. Might be a way to turn this feature off without having to hit the button every time u restart the truck.

Very cool feature on some 2021’s... NO auto stop/start!  And $50 off the MSRP too!  
 

Sorry guys, had to rub it in a bit!  I suffered it on my F150 that I just traded towards a new Explorer for the wife (long story... but she got what she wanted and I did too... a new AT4 6.2L).  I installed one of the Eliminators the first week of ownership on the F150!

I just realized that my music listening just got easier.  On my 2021 Denali, if I move the menu to the audio section (the display in the instrument cluster), you can change stations one at a time.  It always frustrated me that pressing the paddle on the left only moved the station to the next preset.  Using this menu and the little rolling selector switch on the right, I can roll through the stations without regard to any of my presets.  I like that a lot better when I'm just looking for something different to listen to - especially with Sirius XM. 

try just holding the button on the back of the steering wheel down for a few seconds,  it will do the same thing or at least it works on the 2019

Tried it and it does indeed work.  It’s not quite as smooth as using the wheel but it allows me to not be on the music menu on my dash.  Thanks!

I have the max tow with 6.2 and it has the air opening slots between the tow hooks. I also was told 4cyl models have it for the turbo. Also the max tow gets rid of the closing air deflectors period.

Lots of good info here. I read it all. I just picked up a 2021 AT4 6.2L. I have a couple neat things to add.

 

2021 now has wireless CarPlay and AndroidAuto. You can also add multiple phones to your user profile to receive calls on both without having to switch Bluetooth connections. Good for having personal and work phones. 
 

Question #1 on the reverse tilting mirrors - my 2015 Denali had this feature and you could adjust and store their position when in reverse. I can’t seem to do this on my 2021. It tilts to some random point that’s not helpful. I want to be able to see my rear tires. Anybody figure out how to adjust and store?
 

Question #2 for Adaptive Cruise. Is there any way to adjust the following distance?  It’s too far and people easily cut in front of me in traffic. My mom’s Audi Q7 lets you pick a following distance from close to far. 
 

Question #3 is there quick way to get to the surround camera besides going through the menus or switching to reverse? That would be helpful for pulling into tight parking spaces. 
 

Thanks for the info.

#2 same adjustment as the forward collision alert (or what ever it's called).

 #1 no not that I have found I think it always goes to a pre-set angle only thing you can do is set the original angle lower, but that may not be ideal for normal view. If you put the truck in reverse before pulling into a tight spot it will do the forward view/above for a short time when going back to drive. 

 

#3 no Plus you can not view while the truck is in motion unless you have advanced towing, than only view changes are to the side you are using the turn signal on when towing a trailer.

I was unhooking my boat trailer last night after a day on the lake and I was pleasantly surprised to find that there’s an led light on the tailgate that illuminates the whole back of the truck. Very useful!

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
