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.

Get WAMS and then you can do windows down AND up from the keyfob.  Great for those rains you didn't see coming

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
