So my 2021 Sierra has the feature that if you press and hold the unlock button on the remote, it will open all 4 door windows which is a great idea. The problem is, is that you cannot roll them back up remotely. At least I haven't figured out how to do it. If its not possible, that's like giving us a 1/2 of a feature. Imagine being able to remote start your truck and NOT be able to turn it back off remotely.  If there is no option to roll the windows back up, whatever engineer or whoever came up with this feature should have lost their job right on the spot. IMO.

If not close enough to push the button, then probably also not close enough to verify that someone / something doesn't get caught by the window going up. 

At least that was my understanding of the logic.

 

Just as remote start doesn't work with the hood open.

Well in the full load rental 6.2 I was just in I can tell you how inconvenient that giant button to roll all four windows when you have teens. Can’t seem to help themselves, or hit it by accident reaching for another thing, thankfully my preference is custom trim so my new custom doesn’t have that stupid giant button. Agree that if it goes one way you should instantly be able to reverse your decision just as quickly.

I don’t get the button either. Ok sure put a button somewhere, apparently people like the feature, but the biggest button in the entire truck?? Why??

 

You can’t auto roll them back up because gm decided it was not safe.

Agreed. Not a fan of how HUGE the button is.  I like the feature but also would appreciate all 4 to go back up.  But I can see GM seeing it as unsafe.

Personally, it's the one feature I forget to use. I've used it once since my ownership and that was only because the truck was sitting in 100F outside temp all day. Some call it the fart mode, if anything.

You can still roll them down via keyfob in the Custom. Hit unlock twice and hold the second time and it will roll all 4 down.

Very likely this feature is not available because of the potential safety issue of injury to  a person if there was not an visual verification of a safe condition to select to roll the window up.

I absolutely love this feature! 

 

I live in Houston were its been around 100 degrees since early June and will stay this way through September.  I roll down all 4 windows a few inches , turn on the auto start, then let it sit for 5 minutes before leaving work.  One of the few FOB functions I actually use.  It would be nice to be able to roll them back up remotely after a few minutes so the truck can get nice and cooled by the AC, but I understand why GM is hesitant to make that function a reality.

 

What's this big button everybody has mentioned? I guess I am unware of it as I have only used the FOB to roll all four down with.

roll all 4 down a few inches? I didn’t think you could go any amount other than all the way. Maybe with the FOB? Definitely not with the button, it’s all or nothing:8578CCEA-8824-4C3F-8AC2-3E28FC2EBF6F.thumb.jpeg.45cb1e116ea6f3ef21d2bcfc70c21673.jpeg

Yes, I lower them and stop them at whatever height I prefer using the FOB.  However, I do not have the above shown button on my dash, or I haven't noticed it which I doubt.  It's out of the way though so I don't know that I would consider it an inconvenience, but then again its not my truck so my opinion matters very little in that regard.

I dont consider it an inconvenience. I just question why it’s there at all. To me, it’s a complete waste.

 

The buttons on the drivers door auto down the windows just fine, I don’t need ANOTHER way to do it. Especially not the button with the most real estate on the console. Give me something actually useful to put there.

Mine doesn't have the '4 window down' button.  Not on door, and not one of console switches (it is mentioned in the manual).

 

I do use the 'windows down' function of the fob -- sometimes.

There’s not a single button to put all 4 down on the door. But there are 4 individual buttons that are auto down. It takes no more time to push all 4 of them than it does to reach over and push the one in the center console. 🤦‍♂️

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
