The credit is a "we're sorry" deal. You don't pay for the retrofit. GM will notify you when they have the parts to install. The lower trim level trucks are the ones they're keeping the parts out of. All the Denali's and AT4X's have all their parts. GMC is now even out of parts for the multi pro tailgates! I thought that was their selling point was it was standard on all GMC's but there's a couple at my local dealer that are Elevation trim and have a credit for no Multi Pro tailgate, which CAN'T be retrofitted later!

 

Nope - Denali's didn't have all the parts - waiting for parking sensors on mine.....

the ventilated seats I can be with out but the front and rear censors on a truck this is much needed,

 

Get a smaller vehicle you can handle then if you need sensors to drive. GMC makes the Terrain...

front and rear sensors 
 

First thing I disabled. I need my truck acting on it’s own like I need another insurance policy. No thanks. I’ll pay attention when I pilot 2.5 tons through public spaces at rapid speed. I even love the cover craft dash mat that covers that stupid hud red light and also eliminating the ridiculously unsafe amount of dash reflection and glare off windshield these trucks give. Wouldn’t sweat these sensors much, sounds like a bonus miss to me. 
 

get reliant on this shizzo and it will cost you, there’s a reason the seats vibe now when you back up and those sensors go off, before it was only beepers and if you had stereo too loud and just watched one mirror backing in you could get screwed, and welcome to my last accident in past however long without...never again, use all mirrors and back up camera, the sensors can go fack themselves, he liability is on you so best limit your reliance on those aids

 

heck even the factory drivers side mirror on my custom came with the built in convex but framed in, two instances where that frame had a gap that a vehicle could hide in and the convex wouldn’t show parking stall lines well, so ordered the non convex mirror and put my own 3” convex on like I do all vehicles and no more issues for both seeing people or lines. On nee flat mirror the top outside corner is where that car symbol lights up on higher trims to say don’t move lanes lol...the 3” convex covers it perfectly lol. I love how we always try to make things better and fack it up lol, but hey $2.50 at auto parts store can’t possibly be as good as the sensors and lights right?😉

To each his own. I find most of the safety features to be very useful and no one suggested they are reliant solely on the features. Front park assist helps when pulling in to park against an object and the blind spot indicator combined with looking over my shoulder works better than any convex mirror I could buy.

Just another reason not to pay these "STUPID" high prices!!! Especially when they come incomplete.  Good luck. Maybe you'll get your truck by 2024!!

If only some entity or group can force the manufacturer to give a timeline as to when vehicles sold with missing components to have it retrofitted before they build new vehicles with those same components. Dam greedy son of a butchers..

I didn't know Canadians were such tough guys! Disabling the sensors!!!!!!! very bad man you lol. i love all my nannies :)

lol I'm think about there is only one with that mighty 6.2 and sticker for 76k 😵 7k more than the truck I order, I will stop by tomorrow and chat with my boy there hopefully will come to some sort of agreement , also the truck is black not my favorite

Well now, according to your new post you took my advice and bought the one on the lot. 😉

Congratulations!!  (I can take PayPal for my commission)  🤣

I was wet behind the ears once too, have seen firsthand what can happen when you get complacent and reliant, you'd love a Tesla. 😉

 

At least they give you the option to disable, I think in my truck they were for the auto-cruise part were it would stay a certain distance between the vehicle in front of you...or slam on the brakes because it saw a snow man pulling onto the driveway, or a bush pulling into the ditch to go pick up your deer. Eitherway...if I put cruise on it's to maintain speed efficiently...not get in the right lane so I can do sodoku or play with myself. My right foot stays close to that pedal on cruise and if come up on slower dude it's pass city not bend over to their chosen speed.

You have a distorted perception on how others use their trucks are able to take advantage of features you may not have a use for.

You will come to find this a gaslight. It’s the few who see what’s going on accurately. If you don’t understand what I just said you’ll be in the last group to figure it out. The answers are pretty simple though, see who’s name is on the insurance slip and you’re (YOU) are piloting 2.5 tons of death at rapid speeds through public spaces. But the masses as I just alluded to feel like drivers licenses should come in the glove box with purchase of car. They don’t wanna drive, they are destination not journey people and feel driving is a right not a privilege, that it’s a mundane everyday chore that has the same seriousness and attention levels required to make a sandwich. They don’t want to do the work required for the true responsibility required to their fellow man for the seriousness of the task. More aids, nannies and auto pilot the better. So many out there didn’t have to pass the same driving tests I did and as evidence by so many discussions on the internet by the comfort addicted masses it’s clear you have the distorted perception. Less is more, but we dug this hole, and so we live in it. So glad I get to share the road with Tesla’s. Be careful with reliance on these nannies and aids...they will come back to haunt many. Those who created them aren’t named on the insurance slip so when they fail it’s all on you.

Lol JFC. How’s the weather up there? So high up on your horse. Acting like you know what’s good for everyone else is just as much a problem with todays society as the things you describe.

 

Im well aware of personal responsibility, yet I know how to make the safety features ease my long highway drives. Again, no one ever said the word “reliance” except for you. And again, your perception is distorted but go ahead, continue to think you’re so much better than everyone around you.

Attack the messenger strategy. A 21st century ‘go to’ for when the message is hard to attack because the truth is uncomfortable. Anyhow, if that’s how you read it and that’s how you want to respond that’s on you. 
 

In case you haven’t noticed it’s the few who are immune to the group think and current public perceptions which have been nudged a certain direction a very long time. And the past few years have shown just how smart it was to be with the masses ‘perception’ eh? I’ll stick to a reality truth based world regardless of comfort. The masses can keep going with the nudging towards opposite day clown world.
 

So what you’re saying is if it’s not the perception of the masses then it’s a distorted perception? Truth could care less what size group perceives what, it’s pretty clear that public perception can be nudged to the opposite of the truth, have you been paying attention the past 3 years?Bro...whatever makes you feel comfortable lol.
 

Don’t like facts? There’s no high horse being ridden here, feel about it however you like. Perceptions have nothing to do with this. Masses are comfort addicted and love being sold more and more convenience to point of having to do as little as possible and when sthf we become useless. Those are facts. Why tesla so popular? Rest my case, people don’t wanna drive. They wanna buy the drive to do other stuff while on the way. Your insurance and liability will show you very quick what a great idea that is. That’s all I’m saying here...less is more, nannies and aids are bad. Turn off as much of that crap as you can to ensure you keep the reality of task at hand every time you start that weapon/death trap.

    • 2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!    
    • www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.
    • Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.         
    • I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far. 
    • I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.
