The reason they don't let you roll up remotely, is the same reason you can auto-down all 4 from the drivers door with one momentary press, and one momentary touch upward will auto close the front windows but you have to hold the rear window switches up to get them to come up.   It's liability, they don't want you closing the window on something or someone you didn't see.   Which is a little odd, because as many who have installed in-channel vents can attest if the window senses much friction it goes back down, but I'd imagine it's still enough force to do some nasty damage to say a kids finger, or a pets nose/ear.  

 

I don't think I have the big center infotainment button I think that's where the descent control is, though I always thought it was funny that the button is so huge, they could have put 3 buttons there.

The single button pictured above is on the 22 refreshed trucks.

The high trim level 19-22LTDs have it as well. I don't know the rhyme or reason for which trims got it or why.

I assume you mean High Country? My LTZ doesn't have it. Granted, I don't think Id want it either.

My HC has it. Your LTZ doesn’t 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
 

I wonder what technology package it comes under for you to get the “monster “ button?

Must have been a Chevy only thing to? My 20 SLT doesn't have it either but then again I don't have space for a button like that being it's fully loaded X31.

Beats me on the package. I dont have space for anything more. Every button has something. Id assume, Id have to not have something I do to have that one. The far right, super large button on mine is hill descent.

My 20 Denail doesn't have it. But this is due to the buttons taking its place are the Hill Decent, and Running Boards buttons. 

 

Pretty sure it's just a filler feature that gets removed if something more important goes there. (Ex ZR2 and AT4X Lockers)

 

Noticed on the Refresh the Running Boards and Power Outlet buttons were removed (Boards to screen and Outlets always on now). So now either the Lockers go there, or you get the window roll down as a filler instead of blank buttons.

Interesting…..Power Running  boards are the only option I didn’t get on my HC. Didn’t want them.  Have never liked them. Makes sense though, but my wife and I still can’t get over how large and awkward it is.

Yeah they were standard on mine. Could of managed without. They extend backwards to the bed to help get to it as well as the normal step. 

The button is kinda multipurpose. Hold disables them, one push extends them, and another has them go backwards towards the bed. Mainly just use the button to extend them at carwashs since they usually sit covered.

 

Considering all that button did, can see why they just moved it to the screen for the boards on the Refresh.

100% on the half-ton power running boards.  The look bulky and foolish to me. The HD trucks have nice, slim power running boards that tuck up under rocker panel. I enjoyed those and rather have those or stationary boards instead.

Not for me. They go out after a few years and also don’t product the whole side of your truck from rock chips. After 2-3 years the sides of your truck looks like it’s been sand blasted.  
 

My SS Trailblazer didn’t have running boards or splash guards and it had to go into GM to cover it under their TSP bulletin  rock chip repair.  Never again will I own a truck or SUV with them. Just my 2 cents. Can’t stand rock chips.

Your preference is the standard mount running boards, not automatic? I can see how some people prefer that. Depending on the vehicle, it can also change the appearance/ground clearance aspect. Some look better with running boards and some look like they drag the ground.

Yes. I like my standard boards. They also go length of cab to wheel wells. Make for easy drying off after a good wash.

    • Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.    
    • I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. 
    • No one will care for you like you care for you. Do what you can for as long as you can. IMHO of course. 
    • How about them NICKS!!! 
    • Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
