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.

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

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
