I have a 2020 Silverado 1500 LT Z71. I have always thought it was weird that I could not see the climate information unless I changed something and that little pop-up appeared.

Although I noticed on some reviews and models that some have a dedicated climate button in the infotainment.

 

Is this a fault? I'm not sure why having a climate button in the infotainment would be locked to certain packages and can't find any documentation around it.

I just glance at the buttons to see what's set..... there is also climate app or whatever it's called. Just like how the audio and phone thing is on the infotainment. 

Yeah that's the button or "app" that I'm referring to. My truck does not have that in the infotainment.

 

What trim level is your truck? Any packages?

I'm not really sure what you're talking about but mine is the same trim as your's.  LT Z71.  Not certain of the other packages but I have the app and this is a picture I found on the web as I'm not in my truck this week.

 

I don't see why this would be linked to certain vehicle trims.  You can find it by looking for the person in a seat on the infotainment.20190417_173130.thumb.jpg.76beb74578b4fa9ebb9ba1a04a8c85f9.jpg.8903bc0eaad3eb563e0e4da38aaa34d1.jpg

 

Other than that, you can easily look at the climate controls on the dash in between the temp control.  Thats where I always look. I never really use the touch screen for the climate.

That's what I'm talking about. My truck does not have that button in the infotainment. It's just missing.

Is yours 2019 or 2020?

Any packages?

Does you screen have 2 or 3 little dots at the bottom - centre?

If it does, try swiping the screen left/right to show the other page(s).

I believe if you want that feature you need to have the IOS and up Radio to get that feature...If you have Conv package 2 you'll have it I believe..Kind of a useless feature if you ask me...

Per the manual, only dual automatic climate control equipped vehicles have the climate control status display on the infotainment screen. Standard climate control equipped vehicles do not.

Yeah. I do have dual, automatic climate. But no climate control button in the infotainment. That's why it seems weird, because when it's in auto, I have no idea what it's doing. Seems like a weird bug...I guess I'll have to take it to the dealer and figure it out.

My thoughts exactly. You can look at the HVAC controls and see everything that is on that screen.

 

I wish you could rearrange the lower "fixed" icons.

Sorry for taking so long but I looked at the sticker for my 2019 LT Z71.  It has these packages; All Star Edition, Convenience II, Z71 and protection, trailer brake and 5.3 (since that was optioned).

 

As it was mentioned, this feature is kinda pointless when it shows you the exact same thing the HVAC controls show.  It doesn't even have the heated or A/C seats on there.  I've only looked at it and played around with it a couple of times.

 

If you really want it and think you're truck should have it, then take it to the dealer and they should be able to reprogram it for you.  If you're truck is supposed to have it, then they will do it for free.

Do you have HD radio? There's a few trims that don't have that, or the climate control. I'm not sure which level they are, but it sounds like you don't have that level of radio.

If you hold down any icon, a pop up comes on and you can swipe the apps up to delete. I wouldn’t think it would let you delete that icon, but maybe somehow it got deleted. If that’s the case, you could try doing a radio reset in the settings app and see if it comes back

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.
