The radio comes on whenever I start truck.  I rarely listen to radio, could live without it just fine.  Anyway when driving around, I just have the clock showing.  When I start truck, the radio is on, but muted on the last FM station I used, prior to muting and holding until radio powers off and just shows clock.  While this is not a big pain, would be nice if when starting, it went back to same status as when I shut off- just clock.

Pull the fuse?

Radio on is the default. Seems like keeping the radio volume at 0 would be ideal so that you maintain functionality of the other features in the touch display, like the phone. The truck won't forget the volume setting between shutdown and startup.

Welcome to the club, that's how they do.  Other than developing a taste in music, perhaps you could set it to some media that you don't have (like BT pairing with a phone, or satellite?) so that you don't get any sound, but have screen functionality, as the truck should default to its last selected media device?

That's an extra step. The truck will recall volume settings. Just turn it to 0. Full functionality of the rest of the screen, no radio sound regardless of the audio source it is set to.

But then he'd have to raise the volume if receiving a phone call (if even using that feature), no?
There are three volume settings. One for radio and audio inputs, one for the navigation (if equipped), and one for the phone.

Next time you are on your phone via your truck or on nav, turn the volume knob. You will see it's separate.

Thanks, as long as I know that is the way it works, I will be able to deal with it .  I just wanted to make sure I was missing a setting somewhere.  Been through all settings, but thought I might have missed something.  If I have it on mute, it comes back on when started as mute, just have to look a little more to see the time.   Like to be on time when making a delivery, my 72 year old eyes aren't what they use to be.  Doesn't have bluetooth in radio for calls, so not a problem there.  If I wanted to make calls I could get another radio put in or they make some bluetooth adapters that will pair with phone that fit on visor.

You can also just Go into the settings and change the “max startup volume” to zero. And then every time you start the truck the volume defaults to that.

I know that there is a setting for "Maximum Startup Volume," and you can set that to ZERO. 

 

As for the radio being off all the time, you may have to have the dealership service department go into the firmware/software and program it that way.

I have a 2021 sierra 2500hd SLE, and usually shut down with the infotainment off.   Sometimes when I start the radio is on at the last station medium volume.   I have tried everything, mute, zero volume, totally off etc, and no change.  If it is only off a short time, few minutes to hours, it will start the same as shutdown.   But if off longer. like overnight, starts with radio on.   I believe is is caused by a system RAM problem.   My guess is that station presets are non volatile, but other data is volatile, and if it is lost, corrupted, or the computer thinks it is, it goes to the default software which is probably radio last station at medium volume.   Pulling the infotainment fuses causes it to happen every time, which supports the RAM loss theory.   I asked the dealer and they know nothing, so I am going to keep track of shutdown condition, time off, and start condition for a while, and then tell them to fix it, even if they have to replace the system.

Never pay attention to this, might have to test in the morning.  From memory, it doesn't play the radio (FM/AM). I always have it connected to Bluetooth and stream via YouTube.  When I start up the truck, it waits for me to play something on YouTube.  If I don't play anything on YouTube then it doesn't do anything other then staying on home screen.

If I have mine set to Audio (radio or SiriusXM), mine always comes on with sound when I start the truck.
I usually (alwost always, really) have it on Apple CarPlay and sometimes it starts playing where it left off and other times I have to press play on the screen.
No biggie for me, though.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
