Well, I've had my truck for exactly one month now... and I've only had it stop on me one time at a stop light, then I turned it off manually. Most of the time for the first few weeks I remembered to disable it when I started the truck, but recently I've stopped doing that and have noticed that it is not turning the truck off at all. I dunno what the timer is, but honestly it's so rare that mine stops I don't even mess with the button.

Don't really like it so I've pressed the button to disable it each time (on this truck and on previous trucks). Then installed the eliminator so it recognizes it as off full-time and it's been wonderf

I’ll add... the only time I’m personally annoyed with A/S is when I roll up to a stop sign that I know I’m only going to stop at for like 1-2 seconds before turning or going thru. When I’ve forgotten

So spend $180 on the range device, studies show around $179 savings at 15k miles a year at $3.50 a gallon annually so basically first year just pissing away $350 the first year and an additional $720

I don't mind it but I noticed that the starter will kick in prematurely at times before coming to a complete stop. It make a screechy loud noise.. And sometimes, there's this kicking from the rear end also that will happen just before a complete stop, not sure if that is associated though.

 

Me.

Hmm never had that happen or heard of the starter kicking in before a complete stop

Something you need to keep in mind:  the manufacturers do not care one bit if you dislike the auto start/stop feature.  They have to have it to meet the draconian CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) regulations.  And the time is fast approaching when you will not be able to modify any of the factory programming.  We have already seen the EPA cracking down big time on Bully Dog, Banks, and others on the diesel side.

Installed the auto stop kit last week. Seem to me totally changed the truck no more bullshit shut off at stops and forgetting to turn the dam thing off. Very easy install could not worked out better. 

I don’t get it. You can just push the button to shut it off. We adjust our radio, gps, ac with a button. But OMG people cannot be bothered to push a button to shut off the auto shut off technology???‍♂️

President Trump can't just "get rid of them", but he did lessen the numbers imposed by Obama as much as he could.  So essentially The Donald lowered the numbers from impossible-to-meet to just too-damned-strict in a country where we are now exporting energy.  And of course a number of the more tree-hugging manufacturers and states immediately met and said they were sticking with their messiah Obama's targets anyway, with the goal of mandating all-electric vehicles soon.  

 

All of the Greta's in the world need to stop and think that the massive amounts of electricity for their utopian electric vehicle world has to come from somewhere.  And they don't want nuclear power, natural gas, oil, or coal.  For example, Germany did a huge push on solar and wind energy.  All it did was result in energy shortages and much higher electrical rates.

I almost always disable it. Sometimes I forget. I always shut it off after the first auto-stop in those cases.

I installed the auto stop eliminator after the truck turned off and then didnt restart until I put it in park and started it myself.  

 

Besides that, it’s a government mandated item, so I automatically don’t like it.  Haha

I wish there was a setting or option within the truck that would allow you to select whether it is permanently "on" or "off" when you start the truck.  I press that button so much I have a feeling that it will look like a 15 year old button in less than a year.  

 

Nothing quite like knowing every time you start your truck you have to deactivate an option you never wanted to begin with.  If only GM could hear my sigh every time I reached down to hit that dang button.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
