When I purchased my 2020 2500 Denali the sales guy said "and it has adaptive cruise control" which sealed the deal. It might not seem like a big deal but I bought the truck to tow my 30' travel trailer and using cruise control on long trips is a must. Having adaptive cruise would be amazing! I took the truck back to the dealer and told them its not working. They fiddled around for a few a minuets and said I would have to schedule an appointment to have it looked at. Come to find out the dam thing doesn't have that feature.... I assume GM feels that it's a bad idea to allow people towing to rely on adaptive. The logic doesn't work for me.

 

I have to assume that all of the hardware is in the truck but the feature is looked out in software.   So the question is can I have the feature activated?

If u figure it out let us know
would think if u have front collision alert it should be somewhat doable but not sure what programming u could use since it's not event a option on the fully loaded trucks

It's not likely that the feature can be activated even if it is in the software. GM has gone to great lengths to encrypt the systems so that they cannot be tampered with. Everything I've read to date says the system cannot be penetrated.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By Atlas · Posted

      In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks

      NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.

      For most of you, this is probably outside your realm of interest, but, maybe you can appreciate it. The hood and wheels aren't something I'm interested in, but someone made a very rowdy Audi S4... amazing sound.       These were/are very fun cars for the money.   Not going to lie, I'm getting an itch to own a newer Audi RS3. The 5-cylinder will be changing, or going away, at the end of this year.
