That's because you were sitting in it. The vehicle knows this.

The vehicle knows the key fob is in it.  I dont have to be.

I have insurance for that and my dog inside the truck just may prevent them anyway! There are others who have much more dire reasons for wanting a way around this function.

Yes, a manual override, or reprogramming, should be an option to the vehicle owner.  What would be the case for a K-9 Police vehicle?

Can you lock the truck with the secondary fob inside or do you leave it unlocked and rely on your dog as a deterrent to someone taking off in it? 

I don't believe that it will lock with the fob inside if your not in it.

My 2017 GMC Yukon Denali will lock with the key fob inside.  I found out the hard way that the engine shuts off after a certain time.   I almost lost two dogs due to this “safety feature” We left the dogs in the running truck with ac on.  It was 92 degrees out, luckily went back to check on them and the truck had shut off.  We were very fortunate they were ok.

GM has a fix but it has to be government owned vehicle. So stupid. I’m a fireman, truck is used for official business, and I still can’t get it turned off. Nothing like shutting a road down, (emergency lights on) walking away from the truck, to almost get hit by cars who have gone around the “truck with no lights on parked in the middle of the road”. “It’s a safety feature” They said.

If you're using OnStar it will keep running. If you have the fob with you my 2020 Terrain will run 1 hour. If you put in in drive and return it to park in less than an hour it will reset the timer. If your fob is in the car you can lock from either the outside or inside with the other fob.

I was told it is due to people pulling into their garage and, with not having to remove a key, they forget and leave the vehicle running.  For me, that "benefit" does not outweigh the inconvenience to being able to leave my truck running when sitting in hot weather.  There should be an option.

This is 100% correct. You might want to ask a tuner if they can turn that feature off.

It's discussed in the "extended parking" section of owners manual as mentioned.  Just buckle your seat belt, or try using one of the seat belt alarm silencers.  They are literally just the male buckle portion of a seat belt and can be had for as little as $2.

I was able to get mine fixed at dealership.  2020 Sierra 2500 AT4. They had to flash the computer.

So I may have found a solution to this issues after going round and round with GM.  There is an after market part called a Pulsar LT that will disable the auto start and stop.  From what there tech told me the idle stop feature is tied into this.  So when that is disabled with the Pulsar it will disable the idle stop.  When I get the money for it, that's my next purchase.  Can't have my truck shutting down when I'm shutting down a highway with my emergency lights.  POC Firefighter / Paramedic.

Just finished installing the pulsar LT and it doesn't appear to work to shut off the idle feature.  Still going round and round with GM about getting this damn feature turned off.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
