GM was listening cause it looks like a 12” screen is coming.  Super cruise. I really think we will see a really nice interior coming.  Here is also some more power updates  as well. 

Getting excited now!

Am I the only one that doesn't want a 12" screen?  Typically too much cabin light driving at night for one main reason

I find it interesting to read all the discussion and complaints about the interior finish.  This is my first truck and I've had four German SUV's since 2008.  The fit and finish and technology in my 2

I get it’s personal preference and I get that it’s easier to get in. But those side steps are so ugly on the HDs. That would officially make it so I wouldn’t upgrade to a 2022.

Good-bye column shifter.  

I didn’t see it either ? Maybe they just shortened it up ? Anything but that long old stick is a plus. Although if they put the shifter on the center console area , I won’t be happy since it takes up so much space. But I really think GM took the interior not being up to date to heart.

I bet they have the dash buttons like the Yukon/Tahoe.

The leaks for both the Silverado and Sierra seem to show no column shift.  Keep in mind, it was camo inside but still, didn't seem like there was one.  

 

My guess is that the new interior with the large screen (12" ?) and pull button shifter will be on the higher trims at first, similar to RAM and their 12".  Lower trims will stick with the 8", similar to how the WT today only have the 7" now.  But who knows.  Eventually the 12" and pull button shifter will trickle down along with the 10-speed which is already making it's way down the line up.  Maybe they'll keep the column shifter for the WT only.

 

Or they do the 12" and with pull button shifter across the board sans the WT.

 

Pure guesses here.

I'm happy I have a 2019. 12" inch screen and no column shift is already making me question ever buying a new one. The nail in the coffin tho is the new global B architecture these supposedly have. Everything is encrypted and locked down and already all the reports from C8 and Tahoe/Yukon issues is making me never want to own a newer gen GM vehicle. Sounds like they will be a nightmare to even get something simple like speedo calibration done when getting a lift and bigger tires

Welcome to 2020 brother, and I mean that with no disrespect to you but pretty soon everyone will move to this . A lot of car manufactures are already doing this. 

On the screen sizes I'm confident GM will do the same thing as all others.  That's 12' ( or maybe 10") as an option and 8' standard . They just cannot afford to stay put given how competitive the market is right now .  Its exactly why you will also see a Adaptive Cruise option as well . Simply because Ford and Ram already have it . 

The column shifter I have mixed feeling about . The current one is way too long and looks out of place . They needed to do something about it IMO. I was hoping they would have just shortened it up by 3-4 inches like MBZ does. But At the same time though I'm sure going to a similar set up like their SUV's  will be more cost efficient somehow. Having that large stick protrude out and cover a little big of the HVAC vents is just too old school. 

I know there is a few people on here who absolutely love their 2019-2020 interiors and that's ok , nothing wrong with that. 

You have to believe though GM heard all the gripes from editors/magazines/internet and even some of their owners that the interior was just lacking .  

GM overall sales are still very good but at the same time Chevy Silverado sales directly compared to Ram have been very close. In some quarters the Ram actually beating Silverado . Now we know when you add both the GM twins they beat Ram and sometimes even Ford but I think the direct comparison sales between the Silverado and Ram really got Gm's attention. 

This has never even happened to Silverado sales in their history and so this is why I personally believe the 2022 Twins will  be a game changer. I also have a feeling too GM will also up their Tow rating to around 14,100 just to out due Ford

( yes its completely asinine to tow that much in a Half ton , but I'm just sayin" ) 

They make too much of a profit on trucks to let them sit idle for too long.

Maybe we will finally be able to turn it down/off independent of the dash-gauge backlighting.

Good point , my cousins 2019 F150 is same way ..You cannot dim the Navigation screen ..So odd. but yeah hoping they make a option to also turn the screen down . ( seems like an easy no brainer right ?)

I would love a 12 foot screen .... or even the 8 foot - but not sure there is enough room inside the cabin for that :)

I hope the manufacturers come to some kind of gentleman’s agreement on half ton towing ratings...stuff is getting out of hand and I don’t want the ride and fuel economy to needlessly suffer anymore.
 

My ‘19 is already rated higher than my old Cummins Ram. But I didn’t buy it to tow 12k.

Every been in a garage with the lights on and tried to look at something in the dark outside? 

Turn off the garage lights, the eyes adjust some, and the visibility outside the garage improves. 

 

Same problem with dash and radio that is too bright.

 

Eyes adjust to the the inside level and that makes the headlights seem worse than they are.

Especially as the eyes get a little older. 

 

Back in the day, the dash didn't have many light sources,  they weren't near as bright...and most of them could be turned completely off.

Hopefully the infotainment and cluster are OLED. That would mitigate any brightness concerns since the black background segments would be shut completely off. Kinda looks like it could be in the pics. Just not sure the cost is down enough for them to accomplish that. OLED televisions are still about 3-4x the cost.

      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

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
