...and that is the 3 beep burst that warns you that the key fob may have been left in the truck if you leave the truck running and exit the vehicle. Please tell me that there is a way to disable that very annoying function!

See post #10, the OP in that one agrees with you but doesn't know why it happens.

Don't know why you want to leave the truck running and leave but anyway when I am hooking up my trailer and the truck is running I just leave the driver's door open a little it doesn't beep.

i think the next annoying thing with the autostop trucks will be when you go to replace a failed starter,  did GM re-locate the starter instide the trans bellhousing?  so now you have to pull the transmission to change a starter..

Keep the fob in your pocket

I agree, it is annoying!  I often leave my keys in the truck when the passengers are staying in while I go get something.  If you don't leave the keys, the doors auto-lock and if they open a door after that happens, the alarm goes off...

No, but there is a heat shield that needs to be removed to access the starter and the electrical connections.

I don't have this issue. But I have the key fob reminder disabled. You can disable the key fob left in vehicle upon exit. It's under vehicle in the settings.

As others have mentioned and suggested there is an option to turn off key fob left in vehicle warning under settings. I turned it off there and problem is solved. thanks!

People say this, about auto start/stop wearing starters out faster. It’s been a thing for like 7 years now in GM vehicles. Is there any proof that it’s actually true?

I’m quite simple. Either the starter wears out quicker or it’s built stronger. Built stronger usually means higher cost when it fails. My son’s Malibu had stop start. The battery in the trunk cost 400$ to replace. It’s one of two. You think he saved 400$ worth of gas from stop start? That battery was required for stop start. My father in law has a new CRV. It has a turbo engine and stop start. My 15 CRV doesn’t. We get the same in town mileage. Most new vehicle gas mileage aids are to pump up the manufacturers total fuel mileage numbers. Little use to the end user. Especially when you add maintenance and replacement cost. The gig was up at GM with the chip shortage. Trucks without the chip for cylinder deactivation were discounted 50$. And said would lose 1/2 to one mile per gallon. Any of those components fail associated with that. Hold on to your wallet. What a scam. And yet people continue to shell out their money.

IMO something more annoying would be that if i need to move the truck even an inch i have to get buckled up or it wont shift out of park.

Unless there is a way to turn this safety feature off that i dont know about?

The pickups with auto stop/start do use a different starter and programming

 

Bunch of details are about how it and how it works are in the GMupfitter docs.

yesterday I did a DoD deactivation on my truck via HPtuners, very simple 1 switch flip and its all v8 all the time.  before this I was getting 14.5 mpg the previous week with DoD active.  these past 2 days my mpg gauge is reading a full 1.5 mpg gain on v8 city driving

 

now i also did go into the trans and removed as much slip from the clutches, so this might also be where i gained mpg

 

so I'm now at a solid 16 mpg all day in the city ,while burning 91 octane..another benefit  igained from removing the slipping clutches was a full 10 degree drop in trans temp. use to be 145 F, now I'm at 130 F degrees driving all day

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
