GM doing away with auto stop on 6.2 trucks? Why

[Tanker 73]

I have a 2020 Chevy Silverado RST. with 6.2 engine. It has the auto stop when you pull up to a stop sign. I see now you can't get that option on the 2022's. But it is still available on the 5.3 engine. I just wonder if anyone knows why they did away with it on the 6.2. I leave mine off most of the time anyway. But wondering if there was a problem with that feature on the 6.2's?

It was left off of several models due to the chip shortage.  Some versions didn't even have DFM and now there are some without HD Radio.  All due to a shortage of chips.

Yep. Chip shortage. Heated seats and steering wheel too. 

[haider320]

Yup as mentioned above.  No more heated/cooled seats either for 2022.

My new SLT (build date 10/21) has no backup sensors, side mirror indicators or DFM; but I still have start/stop.

 

GM's gotta do what it has to do in order to sell their vehicles.

GM foolishly shut down their chip making plant and off shored production to Communist China.  Only a fool trusts Communists.  They opened the plant again to make ventilators and are ramping up chip production again.

The chip shortage mainly affects the options on the lower end builds.  There will be some higher end builds with options deleted, but GM is being selective about which models lose options.  The Cadillac lineup isn't loosing near the options that the lower end Silverados are, and there is a very simple reason for it.

no one buys a 6.2 for fuel efficiency anyways, my 21 came with dfm and auto stop, disabled both with pulsar

 

would have rather saved  the money it cost them to put it in lol, i want to know how turbo motors handle that auto stop after a few years when that oil flow stops and the turbo is still wound out, atleast i still got the heated seats and steering wheel

Father has 100k miles on a turbo diesel Audi with auto stop. No issues so far. It is tuned as well but not to disable auto stop just for power.

Picking up my 2022 at4 today. Told me about no auto stop start I was thrilled and because of chip shortage they credit me with a whopping 50$. Jokes on them I’d pay a lot more to never have this

It's twice as funny when you think about it because it would cost 10x as much to have the functionality added compared to the credit they provide for it not being there.

I shut my auto-stop on every time I turn on the truck. I'm willing to get rid of my chip if anyone wants it!!

No kidding, if I had to replace the chip (never would) definitely more then 50 bones, got the truck just a little bit ago, all that power is nice

[apierce918]

I just got a 22 TB w/ 6.2, no auto stop, but with DFM. 

 

heated steering wheel, and heated seats says not installed, but includes later retrofit. probably around July lol
