Anyone experience an issue where you put the truck into park, turn it off and then get a message saying to put the truck into park?  It doesn't do it 100% of the time.  And when it does it, the stereo stays on after exiting the vehicle and even after locking it.  I get messages saying remote not detected or something related.  Sometimes it corrects itself in a few seconds, other times I've restarted and shut it off and maybe it will stop.  Other times it does not do it.  Thanks for the input.

Did you ever figure it out? MIne has been doing it also and its very random. Sometimes after shutdown it will stay for 10 seconds, sometimes I have to move the truck and try again.

My 2019 1500 AT4 is at the dealership now. They tell me it's the shifter and will cost $1,064.15 to replace. The radio and lights stay on until the truck finally realizes it's in park. When you exit the truck it also gives me three quick honks two times. I've brought this up to the advisors other times, but it happened when I dropped it off today.

Did anyone have luck fixing this through a dealership? My ‘22 2500hd has been having the same issue. The dealership shrugged it off when it was under 36k miles. Now at 40k miles they said they could fix it, charged $900+ and it did it again as soon as I picked the truck up and turned it off at home.

We are having the same issues with our 2023 2500hd denali the dealership said the batteries were dead we replaced both and it's doing it again. But only sometimes could something have drained the batteries down again in a few weeks?

2022 HD 2500 here,  just locate the micro switch under the column cover, snip the 2 wires and connect them together (solder if you're skilled or wire nut if you're not) thereafter be SURE to put it in park 'cause you won't ever get a reminder again. no collateral damage afterward on mine. cost $0.0

Something else to consider on these shift to park errors.  We've had 3 or 4 come in where the switch in the column shift assembly was ok and found the shift cable itself was stretched and causing the "shift to park" message.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
