...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

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
