So the last week or so I've had the parking sensors randomly shut themselves off while driving and it wont let you turn them back on. Restarting the truck seems to fix it. Has anyone else had this happen? Could it be an issue with the sensors being dirty or more likely is it something I need to have service on? Thanks.

ya goes back 2 generations, comes free of charge on most GM vehicles, Ive been dealing with it on my 2008.  There is a box they plug into under the spare tire corrosion or just goes bad.

That's awesome on a brand new truck. Would love one week without something malfunctioning.

I though mine was just a one off issue, but it isn't.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't; about 50/50 right now.  And at times, the light on my park assist button will go crazy for about 10 seconds flashing in a random pattern.  Think it might be a loose connection somewhere.  Dreading taking it in.  Guess I need to because I got the code for the famous brake malfunction at 500 miles.  Not quite 4,000 yet.

That sucks for anyone relying on the sensor to judge distance expecting it to alert you - then you bump into something. This is exactly why I’ve been looking for a Trail Boss LT without the safety package that the dealerships love to order.

Yeah I've never had so many different little problems so consistently with any vehicle I've ever owned as I do this one. Was originally planning on keeping it for a long time, doubt I will anymore, just getting tired of there always being something malfunctioning even if I really want to love this truck.

Agree. First I had the broken valve springs, now the brake system failure and parking sensors working when they want. First issue fixed and supposedly a software update was supposed to fix the last two. Well my parking sensors still work when they want, truck clean too, nothing dirty blocking the sensors. I hate Tundras and Fords. I’ve always been a GM guy band I love my 6.2 Trail Boss but if I keep having these issues I may have to do to Ram. Not sure if that’s even a better move or not. My 70’ C10 has a leaky quadrajet carburetor and is still more reliable.

When I first got my ‘21, park assist would be off or turn off about half the time.  It would shut off when driving.  I was also having the WiFi issue also.  I was more worried about getting WiFi taken care of.  As time went on, the park assist started shutting off less and less.  It’s been a while since it has been off.

2021 Sierra 1500 AT4 Standard box

6k miles

 

My park assist turned off about 20 miles from my house. The light on the park assist button on the center console was off.  Arrived home and started to play with the vehicle settings in the center console and selected the collision settings.  Park assist was on the settings and turned it off and back on and then assist turned on with the center console turned back on.  So that seems to be a short term fix.  I’m going to continue to monitor it.  But small stuff like the truck telling me I’m on the wrong road even though I don’t have navigation on, is beginning to worry me.

I drove my 2021 LTZ tonight for the first time in light snow and the parking sensor light shut off. When I got home, I noticed that the sensors on the front bumper were covered with ice. After a couple hours in the garage, the ice was gone and the parking sensor light came back on.

Curious. Drove my 2019 Sierra to the landfill to drop some trash. Drop off is a paved area. Leaving the site, got the Park Assist Blocked message. Noticed the light on the switch was off. Drove on and the light on the switch came on. Short time later, it was off and the message came back. Here's the kicker, I could press the switch and get the park assist off message. Hit the switch again, and the off message would go away, and the blocked message came back on. The truck has been parked since last Thursday and I had just returned from a 2800 mile round trip the Saturday prior. All sensors are clean.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
