I don't hate it. Strong dislike. Still trying to get in the habit of hitting the button after starting. Slow learner.  I would disable hood switch if this is a cure and it doesn't affect anything else. I've got 2100 miles.
The hood switch is part of the security system.. Your auto start ..

I didn't mind the auto start/stop at first but now it's annoying.  There is too much hesitation IMHO.

Ummmm,  Starman, the small bit you are missing is that there is already a factory installed switch on the center stack of the dashboard.

yea but it resets every time you turn the truck off, so you have to turn it off every single time you start it. It's quite annoying

I was also going to say that messing with the hood latch will disable remote start. I have only driven 1 car with auto stop, and I got used to it pretty quickly. I think I would leave it on most of the time, it barely affects normal driving.

   If you want to keep the remote start operational but disable the other system - you could run a bypass circuit using a relay. It would be easy to set it up so that the hood switch circuit is broken only when the engine is on. When the engine is off, the relay would close the circuit, allowing the remote start to work. This may help keep the security system fully functional as well. You could even put a manual bypass toggle switch on there too, so that you can easily enable the system if you wanted to. 

 

The whole setup would cost about $20, and would take an hour or so to hook up. 

 

 

Here is all you would need:

1. would it throw a light when the truck is on telling you the hood is open?

2. If the hood was open and truck was running, you wouldn't know

I don't own a vehicle with the "engine start/stop" feature. 

 

I'm not suggesting that people modify their vehicles. 

 

If they are going to disable the hood switch anyway, I have simply listed out a few different options that may improve the modification. 

 

As far as disabling the hood switch goes, I am neither for it or against it. I'm absolutely sure that the dealer would not recommend "disabling" anything on the vehicle by removing hood safety switches. If you want to talk people out of doing it, you should talk to the person that posted the original question, or people that own that type of rig.

 

I need no convincing. 

 

If someone is going to modify their rig anyway, is it OK to throw some ideas out there that may help them out?

WOW are we getting lazy, Really,,,, push start, then press auto start off.     I remember manually unlock door with key, put key in ignition, push in clutch, shift into neutral, pull out choke, pump gas pedal, then step on starter pedal  and nobody was on  the forum whining.  Of course this was my 1951 chevy truck.   :lol::)

Good times man. I can respect that  -   Old school. 

 

I was looking at a 1950's Ford today. Not sure why, but I kinda liked it. I sat in the drivers seat and turned the steering wheel back and fourth like I was a kid in a toy car - in the old magazine pictures. I thought about what it would be like to have a manual choke, pump the gas peddle, no air bag - kinda car. I thought I might buy it and drive it around.

With all the crap going on with the car makers right now, I'm thinking more and more to get me a nice Jeep J10 again .

Yes, I know, lots of evenings with dirty hands and always the little creeper crawling up my neck, waiting for the next stumble of the engine or whatever.

But I remember that this was actually the fun of having an old truck. For the money I would spent on a new truck, I could get a f*cking mint J10 or Gladiator.

And he'd tow my boat just fine.

 

so long

There was no online forums back then! Ha ha ha. Just the local hardware store shooting the shit with your colleagues about how great life is!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.
