Just got an email from Onstar which claims "up to three months" free services.

 

However upon a closer read it appears to be only 1 month free.  The additional 2 months are free only if you chose a monthly renewing plan within the first 15 days of your trial.

 

Not sure its worth the hassle. My luck I've missed some fine print and will end up getting charged....

I got that offer last month, but it was a bit more specific to the remote access plan. Probably because I’ve gotten them to give me a free trial of it a few months ago. Just make sure to put it on your calendar and cancel a few days prior. I’ve never had issues with being charged when I’m not supposed to.

I avoid gimmicks like that. It's a shame the services are overpriced with exception to the wifi (it's actually a good deal)

I recently added the Wi-Fi plan to my truck since my wife likes to work on long road trips.  It actually is reasonably priced for 'unlimited'.  The rest of OnStar's offerings are just way too overpriced for me.

Im with you. I have the WiFi and that’s it. 

$22 a month For unlimited is okay. 

 

I really want the remote app but for $15 a month, they can keep it. 

 

I almost did the 3 month free thing and figured why even bother, I’m NOT paying $15 a month after that, so no need to get used to it.

If you haggle they will lower the price to 9.99. I think it’s still too expensive.

If you haggle with OnStar you can get the "Remote Access" plan for $99 if you pay for a full year.  After taxes, etc. it comes out to around $8.60 per month. 

 

I agree it's still probably not worth it though ...

I might just get it for the winter months at 9.99. Then cancel in March or April. Undecided.

I got both the remote and the safety bs for 15$ as my 3 month free trial has ended, but this 15$ a month is only for 3 months then I’ll have to call them and see what they can do again ???

This is like buying a car. Everyone seems to get a different price for the same product. Amazing

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
