Its a safety feature so you dont pull up in your garage and kill yourself.    Leave the key in the car and it wont quit.

Maybe people should read what they're commenting on before posting useless AND incorrect info.  People shouldn't "guess" at answers to technical questions or questions to which they don't have a clue

My mother in law gave my wife her CRV. She was close to giving up driving anyway. The driving aids sped up the process. The car can be very intrusive and upsetting. Some up the aids can be turned off. The adaptive cruise control can be useful. The most annoying feature is the panic braking. If a car is moving to a turn lane and the painted line is faded. The CRV will panic brake. So you have to ready to tap the gas to override. Otherwise you’re going to get rear ended. All things considered I don’t need any of it. Being a free car I live with it. Can’t wait to see how it all works on a trip.

Well I finally read the LM2 diesel supplement owners manual. 

 

I have idled for extended amount of time. I have not timed it, but I'm sure sure there has been times that its been longer than an hour.

 

There is a 1 line sentence in the supplement manual in regards to Extended Parking. This is good news for us LM2 owners that are used to idling all day.

Put the truck in neutral and apply the parking brake, it’ll keep the truck on for as long as you want it to. I know it’s a bunch of unnecessary steps, but it works wonders for me.

Yep, just found this out myself yesterday. I have a 2021 RST. I was idling with the AC on and the truck shut off after 1 hr. While I agree the truck should shut off when no transmitter is detected, there is absolutely no reason why it should shut off when the transmitter is in the vehicle.

 

I hate the Nanny world we live in.

Yours made it an hour? Mine will shut down in 15 minutes. I'm also irritated it won't let you sit in the truck when its a conformable temp in acc mode for more than 15 minutes.

yep, got me just today, pissed me off! we're in the middle of a heat wave and I was out loading up cargo and tying everything down in the bed while my wife and doggy were in the truck keeping cool with the AC. fun fact, you can't lower the tail gate when the truck isn't in park. neutral, parking brake set, using the manual button on the tailgate itself...nope. no way to lower the gate unless you put it in park. as I was out loading everything up, the stupid thing shut itself down and I had to stop what I was doing to go restart the engine so they don't start cooking in the cabin in 5 minutes time under the sun. Absolutely stupid feature to build into the truck intentionally. imagine if I wasn't just in the back, but rather went inside a store while they were out waiting for me? believe me, if its a store that has rows and rows of power tools, I could easily kill an hour in there while she reads kindle books.

while not ideal, the neutral and parking brake work around will help in that situation. but the tailgate won't lower and the task lights cannot function unless the shifter is in the actual park position. even though its impossible to be driving down the road in N with the parking brake set! so if you need any of those features, the N+Park workaround is too much of a hassle.

Yeah, I found this out the hard way this weekend when my better half arrived back at the truck with bags and asked why the tailgate wouldn't lower. I'm considering the wams method just for this. I just need to figure out if I want to keep this one or get an order for a 2022 with supercruise. I'm really on the fence. Sorry for the offtopic.

I'm sorry your wife isn't allowed to restart your truck and/or she isn't capable of doing it.

She finds restarting it quite difficult when the key is in my pocket.

Even if not is she going to climb over the center console to reach the brake?

SHOCKED!!!    Mine gets 15 min with no key fob, 30 when it's inside the truck.  

 

Absolutely terrible feature.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
