I bought my truck w/o HUD, but it has the capability.  Anybody know if it can be turned on after the fact?  Kinda wished I had bought that.  Can it be upgraded/purchased afterwards?

I am not sure but it really doesn’t do much anyway. If I knew that before, I would not have wanted it. For instance there are no turn signal icons on it just speed, direction, a distance-based car spacing “safety” view and navigational turns if you use the internal NAV only, not CarPlay nav. It also shows music selection but only for a second then the name of the song and artist disappears. I would give it 1 star out of 5.

I love it on my wifes car and when I had my vett,  Showing the speed and  navigation up coming turns, I no longer have to look down at my dash.  Makes it so nice when driving, I'll have it set to speed pretty much fulltime and one of the reasons I chose GMC over Ford for my new truck. I always had gm cars and moistly Ford  trucks in the past.  Be the first time in a GM truck. Hud, the cameras, and upgraded payload  is what sold me on this truck.

I just purchased a 2020 Sierra AT4 Carbon Pro. Everything is great. I just cant figure out how to turn on the HUD. The only way I get.is is if I go to  configuration but as soon as Inexit, the HUD goes away from the windshield.

There should be buttons to control brightness and such to the left of the steering wheel.

The manual lists a bunch of settings and views available for the heads up display. 

(I'm still in an '18, so don't have a HUD,  but have been reading up...and am interested in what features are really available...)

 

Head-Up Display (HUD) 

 

If equipped with HUD, some information about the operation of the vehicle is projected onto the
windshield. The image is projected through the HUD lens on top of the instrument panel. The information
appears as an image focused out toward the front of the vehicle. 

 

The HUD information can be displayed in various languages. The speedometer reading and other
numerical values can be displayed in either English or metric units.
The language selection is changed through the radio, and the units of measurement is changed through the instrument cluster.

See “Settings” in the infotainment manual and “Options” under Instrument Cluster 

 

HUD Display on the Windshield Depending on how the vehicle is equipped, the HUD may display some of the following vehicle information and vehicle messages or alerts:
. Speed
. Audio
. Phone
. Navigation
. Driver Assistance Features
. Vehicle Messages
Some vehicle messages or alerts displayed in the HUD may be cleared by using the steering wheel controls. 

 

Head-Up Display (HUD) Rotation Option
If equipped, this feature under the Options menu of the instrument cluster allows for adjusting the angle of the HUD image and changing or turning off the Speed Limit Sign.
HUD Rotation: Press the thumb wheel while Adjust Rotation is highlighted to enter Adjust Mode.
Scroll to adjust the angle of the HUD display. Press the thumbwheel to confirm and save the setting. This feature may only be available in P (Park).

 

Speed Limit Style Adjustment
If equipped, the speed limit style can be changed to a speed limit bar or speed limit sign from the Options menu in the instrument cluster.
Press the thumbwheel while Speed Limit Style is highlighted to change the speed sign style or to turn it off.

 

HUD Views
There are four views in the HUD.
Some vehicle information and vehicle messages or alerts may be displayed in any view. English Shown, Metric Similar
 

Speed View : This displays the speedometer reading in English or metric units, and speed limit. Some information only appears on vehicles that have these features, and when they are active.
English Shown, Metric Similar

 

Active Safety View : This displays the speed view along with a driver assistance graphic on the left. 

Driver assistance graphics show your vehicle, vehicle ahead, gap setting, and lane status information.
In addition to driver assistance graphics, pedestrian advisory and trailer sway indicators will be displayed.

 

Navigation/Active OnStar View :This displays the speed view along with indicators for vehicle ahead, Lane Departure Warning/Lane Keep Assist, trailer sway, and pedestrian advisory.

Turn-by-Turn navigation information is shown during active route. The compass heading is displayed when navigation routing is not active.
Navigation Turn-by-Turn Alerts shown in the instrument cluster may also be displayed in any HUD view. 

 

Off Road View : This displays the speed view along with indicators for vehicle ahead, Lane Departure Warning/Lane Keep Assist, trailer sway, four-wheel drive status, and pedestrian advisory.

Off-road information such as pitch angle, steering angle, and rolling angle is also shown.

Are you sure it has the capability?

 

I thought the HUD had a much larger opening in the top of the dash than what is there for forward collision warning dot?

you are probably right.  I seen the forward collision warning pop up a couple of times and thought that maybe it has the capability, but it wasn't enabled.  Thought it might be a firmware upgrade for a cost.

I am sure it can be done but it’s not a simple plug and play. It’s pretty complex. Gen5diy I believe tried it in the Camaro’s and didn’t continue he because it was so intensive

I love my HUD but it needs some updates.  I'm surprised more vehicles don't have one.  The last vehicle that I had that had a HUD, was a 1992 Pontiac Bonneville! The tech has been around for a while.  I just leave it on the speed setting pretty much all the time.  The off road info is useless.  The vehicle following information is especially useless since I am generally looking at the vehicle in front of me.  Also, I can't put my thumb on what it is, but I expect to see the blinker signal in the HUD but it doesn't show up there.  Only on the dash.  I REALLY wish GM would release an update so that the turn signal shows up in the HUD.  Another feature that would be nice is the audio menu.  Just leave it up there.

My 2012 Camaro had the turn signals in the HUD

i agree on the turn signals showing in the HUD, that was one of the first things i noticed , in fact i added it to the survey that i received from Chevrolet. off road info is also of no use to me

I’m not a fan, I keep the brightness at the lowest setting so I can’t see it.

Yes I agree about the updates but would  also like to see a targetting circle and adding a button for firing missiles. Just saying.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.
