So I guess the question is this is a common complaint? I mean I dont mind doing custom jobs but this would be a big one (and way to expensive lol) to do for one person :)

Pretty common...most people have no way to fix it.

 

I even started a thread in the 2019 area to see if it's plaguing the T1XX...Jury is still out on them...

I replied to that initial thread as it states the 2014's were originally 100% closed but people were still complaining...

I have read that too but GM changed it due to dust accumulation in the cabin. I'd rather clean my cab than deal with the smell. After a few "behind a bus" rides in your new test bed will better show the issue we now have. GM says it closes 90% but there is no comparison between my 2008 Avalanche or either of my Honda cars. I'm just asking because it's pretty bad with the programming they changed it to.

I get that (and agree) the issue I see is even the early posters were complaining which means theirs were 100% already and it still was bad LOL

Then maybe a bad door design, even with it 100% closed you're going to get some smells but not like an open window parked behind a school bus :sigh: I understand if it's too much to play with but I had to ask.

Not too much to play with at all :) Again the concern is if I'm able to help hence the 100% door statement hopefully an early 2014 owner will chime in because from what I can see that bulletin would make things WORSE LOL :)

My suspicion is GM covered their backside by saying they changed it to 90% closed to stop the bleeding and have an excuse why their system is sub-par to everyone else's. I would be willing to bet that the 14 probably was set to 90% too since they were having issues back then as well. Only way to really tell is to see the door in action I guess. Like I said, no matter if the door actually closed 100% or not some smells will get in but never have I had a vehicle this bad. Thanks for considering it Chris.

Yes we sell the programming. You'd want to contact us from our website for more details :) 

can you program my fob to roll the windows up, similar to how they roll down at the same time.

I’ve read that if you have the setting on dashboard  outlets only it is better, anything else like a dash/feet setting or feet only it stinks. Of course defrost or defrost/feet uses outside air so they have to let some in. I almost always have either defrost or the face/feet selected. I will try dashboard vents only and see if it’s better.

This and longer remote start times would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!:seeya:

How about auto fold the mirrors on exit door lock ?  Would be nice to auto unfold on start, but some may not want this as there may be a condition where you need to have the mirrors stay folded.

You probably already know this but hey, I learn something new daily. If you hold the lock button down (for about 3 seconds) on your key fob they will fold in but you have to manually push the button on the door to fold out after getting in. I would not want an auto extend on mine because I would surely forget I had it set to do that. When I am in a parking garage (and get lucky) I park next to a wall and get as close as I can with the mirrors folded in...you can guess my dilemma when I came back, get in and started it....DOH...Bart go to your room! Trust me I would forget and wipe out my mirror.

Yeah. Knew about the key fob trick, but it would be nice to have it do it automatically. And I agree with the auto unfold - that is exactly the circumstance I was referring to. Would suck to see your mirrors power out into a wall!

Have actually considered this. Its a different module than we are currently working on but what the heck LOL

Never going to get enough early 14 owners to reply. It’s enough to make me consider selling it. I rode in a frickin Ford today and we were on the Eglin AFB range BEHIND another Ford that is a huge diesel truck, never smelled a thing. Pisses me off I didn’t know about this before I bought it.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Diesel or gas?  The 37s will obviously, drastically reduce mpg, but the gasser will take a bigger hit to mpg, and power.  Rough guess, but I'd estimate a wmpg hit on the diesel, and up to 4on the gasser.    I wouldn't sweat a gear change on a duramax at all, and unlikely on the gasser either. You're obviously not concerned with acceleration or towing, and the 10spd will find itself in the right gear without much hunting, if any.    If towing, mpg and acceleration are a concern, you're doing the wrong mods.  Either leave it alone, or do the lift/tires and let the chips fall where they may.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I understand. It is disturbing to think a manufacture asks so much and gives so little in engineering support. This is not a GM issues, this is a greed issue and one the ALL practice.    My intent was not to remove the wind from anyone's sail but rather to point out the areas deficient so that they can be discussed with improvements the goal. But to do that you have to know the truth and what that truth is.    The commercial interest are honed in on a few select issues in which they control all the variables and are not forthcoming in the least with their customers about the details. Failure is the only thing that drives these people to improvement. One way not to fail it to manage public "expectations". The set a bar they can clear and put their thumbs under the suspenders with chest puffed.... Only the internal data tells the story fully. As we don't have access to that for decades then we have to generate it ourselves. UOA's with data that matters.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.
