I just ordered one. I despise that feature. And no switch used every start will last forever. I hate hitting it every time. An we have 3 cars and 2 trucks plus I drive semis for a living. I don't like a special step for just 1 vehicle.

You are really blowing this out of proportion.  I am sure they will refund you if you are really that upset about it.  I never had any issues with mine.  I already replaced mine and sent the "bad" uni

I mainly purchased one not because i just find it annoying to press it all the time but because other family members and close friends may borrow my truck.  Not all of them have these feature on there vehicle.  So rather than ask them to not forget to turn it off when they get in and start it.  This device turns it off automatically.  I mean the light on the switch does come on during start up but the quickly goes out and states on the DIC that auto Start Stop has been turn off just the same as if you used the switch.  I would also notice when it does work at times when it would start up at a stop light I would lose 2 miles less on total miles before tank goes empty.  I like the device in my opinion.

Does anyone know why the increase in price? I just read thru the thread and it was about 70$.

I paid $89 back in August, that was direct from Autostop.

Well maybe not now I have a CEL. I will scan it tonight to see if it's related.

I finally plugged my laptop into the truck tonight. 14 hours each of the last 2 days made me too tired the last 2 nights. The only thing that requested an MIL was the brake system module. A lost communication code. The freeze frame data from the time of the request all looked fine. It's either a fluke or I did something installing the auto stop eliminator. It's off now. I've been driving my old Duramax since that day. I will drive the 1500 tomorrow and make sure it stays off. But there were no ECM or CAN codes that would have been caused by installing that unit. The freeze frame didn't even show any requests from it during the time the MIL was requested.

EVERY time you order something, Google for a coupon code.  I ordered from Griots and The Rag Company this morning and found coupon codes for both.  I wasn't able to find one for BakFlip MX4 cover, and all of the links that I've seen posted for "better prices" are all showing the factory direct price unless you call, however, Amazon had it for $120 less with Free 2nd day Prime shipping.

Anyone who bought the Autostop (AFM)disabler you realize it just controls the auto stop system? You truck still has the the DFM fuel management system the eliminates cylinders when less power is needed which can cause other issues . Ranger has a product that handles both and it plugs into the main plug underneath the dash . Your truck runs on all cylinders and doesn’t shut off at stops. It cost $149 when I got it in 2020. Hope this helps 81F97AAC-A8EB-4D1B-9452-2090B860EC6F.thumb.png.7465b012b5c52739e4d22b46de4a1c30.png

Sadly, isn't compatible with the refreshed 2022 models yet. Wonder what the differences are? Even powered running boards and some bed mats claim to not be compatible.

It's not even compatible with a 21 with the 10spd. Would have bought it a while ago if so. Two birds, one stone.

The Range also wasn't compatible with my '20 with the 8 speed. It caused surging between 30-50 mph when constant on the throttle. Their techs couldn't explain or solve, so I guess I was a unique case to them. Went with the Eliminator that plugs in behind the center console switch and it has been flawless.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By XY74 · Posted

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
