Wat's Up Gents and Ladies.   Just picked up my Brownstone metallic AT4 over the weekend.  Fully loaded.  Couple of questions hoping to find out if I can get any answers as it seems the salesman and dealer are conflicted.   Here they are if you guys can answer:

 

1. Does the AT4 come with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)?  The manual says available in LD model????   I have the AT4 Premium add on, the technology and safety add ons i.e; lane departure, blind spot detection, forward collision and emergency braking, etc.   It does not appear that I do have it, as the symbol for activating it (ACC) does not appear as I click thru instrument panel.  

 

2. The emergency braking forward collision assist.  How do I test this without rear ending someone....LOL

 

3.  Also, they gave me at dealer looks like battery cables for a second battery?  I would assume that it is for that, but it appears that I already have 2 batteries installed, one o the right side facing into engine from front and one on left looks like it is under fuse box?  If not where would the other battery go?

 

Other than that, I love this truck the best.  I got loads of compliments on the truck as well as color.  Hope someone could answer these questions I have.  Thank you

1.  ACC not available

2.  Wouldn't recommend testing for it.

3.  Not sure unless you have snow plow prep or some other option.

Sweet looking ride. I ordered the same truck but 2500.

Nice to see the color in your pics. Do you have any more pics you could send my way?

@jojo ma, I'm also curious about this. My truck is a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 LTZ Z71 srw that has the adaptive cruise control button on the steering wheel but I can't ever get it to engage. Hitting the adaptive cruise button only seems to show the gap control adjustment. From reading the owner's manual, you're supposed to hold on the actual cruise control button and it should change the icon of the green cruise icon to actually have a vehicle in the icon rather than an arrow in the picture. But holding the cruise button doesn't appear to do anything for me except turn off my cruise control. Does your truck have the adaptive cruise control button on the wheel?

 

Let me know if you figure anything out on yours.

If you have the upfitter switches the cable could be to connect them it doesn't come factory installed. Red wire with silver tape on it?

I'm positive 2020 HD's don't have adaptive cruise on any trim level.

GM dropped the ball, they've had adaptive cruise on their large SUV's for years.

Its the one option I was really disappointed they don't have.

From what I understand it will be available on the 2021 Hd's.

That's disappointing, especially since not all of the HD trucks have the button for adaptive cruise control.

It's not adaptive cruise.  It is the distance warning setting for forward collision

I thought all Duramax come with two batteries. I bet the cables are the snowplow prep stuff.

Finally got my truck today. Love the color in person. Although it was raining like mad all day.

I'm glad I saw this thread because I just picked up a 2500 AT4 a couple of weeks ago and thought my adaptive cruise wasn't working. I just assumed that since it had the button to adjust the gap, it should be working. I was afraid it had stopped working because I had my whole front tinted. Glad that wasn't the case

No it does not have ACC, it seems a little confusing as you look at manual.  But I realized and researched, it does not have.

I too have the same button and it does what you described.  I spoke to someone knowledgeable at the dealer and they told me the HD do not have Adaptive Cruise Control?   They said it was not good for towing?   Not sure why that is as they can perform a cut off when trtailer attached.  That is my only dissapointment.  My GF has a aRaptor and the feature is damn cool and useful on long rides.   You found out anything on your end?

@jojo ma, I gave up trying after seeing the responses in here. I worked to get it working for a couple weeks and was never able to. It's just for your automatic braking :(

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
