Supplied owners manual is a joke. Online is double the information. 

What am I missing?  The one I downloaded, a .pdf file, is exactly the same as the one that came with my truck.  I just like it because the .pdf version is on my iPad so I don’t have to go out to the truck to look at it.  Is there some other manual?

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!

Not on my '23. Supplied manual has 1/2 the info of the online one. Found that out when I looked at the online before picking up truck. Now I have to pour through it to see if the online is up to date.

When I picked up my 23 Sierra my salesman said to me that GM condensed the owners manual and it was in fact a lot less pages than my 19 High Country, he said I can look online for a complete owners manual.

Auto started 2023 At4, it was 91* out and had the hvac set on auto to 74*. My driver side cooled seats were on when I got into the truck, the passenger side was off. When my passenger got in the vehicle the cooled seats automatically came on when they sat down. I thought that was pretty impressive.

Just got the park assist retrofit on my 22 LTZ - when pulling into a tight parking situation it pops the front camera on automatically!

Really? That's interesting. My 2022 refresh LTZ doesn't do this.

Maybe it's a setting? 🤷‍♂️ I didn't change anything when I got it back from the dealer after the retrofit. Or maybe it's only my small garage that gets close enough to trigger it.

My 23 High Country does this too.

I don't know if there is a setting. It did this since day 1.

Nice feature

Depends on setting selected, and depends on how close the truck is to the object. 

(there are a bunch of camera view choices) 

 

I sometimes put it in reverse and back to drive to activate the front camera -- instead of getting within 12 inches

 

1. Front/Rear Standard View


Displays an image of the area in front or behind the vehicle.

To select, touch Front/Rear Standard View on the infotainment display when a camera view is active.

 

When the hitch guidance is selected, Rear Standard View will remain visible across gear changes, otherwise the view will toggle between Front and Rear Standard View based on gear position.

 

If equipped, the front view camera also displays when the Park Assist system detects an object within 30 cm (12 in).

 

To access this view when in a forward gear above 12 km/h (8 mph), select CAMERA on the infotainment display and select Rear Standard View. The view will close after 8 seconds and can be closed early by selecting X, Home or Back.

Apparently the ability to remote open and close the tailgate is limited to the LTZ and High Country models.

Not available with the multipro multiflex gates

You can remotely open the Multipro / Multiflex tailgate, but no Auto Close feature.

Correct.  Thanks for clarifying that.   Guess it's too heavy to auto close.

This is a great thread and I read it all. Appreciate everyone's input.  I wish there was a thread for the refresh trucks that was similar because I am thinking a lot of this does not apply to 22 1/2 up trucks.  Maybe there is a thread somewhere. If so, point me to it :)

Again thanks. I learned a lot that actually did apply to my 2024.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
