'22 Sierra 2500HD.

 

Don't use Google Maps very much as usually use OEM Nav. However, one of the things I do not have with OEM is the speed limit shown on screen. And in previous truck, I used that feature a lot (aftermarket Nav).

 

Today, used G. M. for a bit, both with and without a destination entered, and discovered the speed limit will show when en route after entering a destination, but will not show if just routine driving and a destination is not entered.

 

So, my question is, can something in settings or elsewhere be changed to always have the speed limit showing. Seems weird it has the capacity to show speed limit, but only with a destination entered. Tried searching but with negative results.

Hey Marpel, It is listed in my manual on page (125), 126 under DIC display options. It says this is available on midlevel and up level trims.

I have it on my truck. What is your trim level?

Hello Michael621,

 

Thanks for responding.

 

I am not talking about the speed limit shown in the DIC display, as I have asked about that before and have discovered I do not have the appropriate trim level (SLE).

 

What I am referring to is the infotainment screen where the Google Maps navigation map is shown. If G. M. is on, but not showing a destination route, the speed limit is not shown on the screen. However, if G. M. is active, with a destination route set, there is a small speed limit icon (looks like a typical roadside speed sign) in the upper right corner that shows the speed limit for the current location. I'm presuming this info is somewhere in the Google Maps data base and  just wondering if there is a way to get this to display all the time while G.M. is on, regardless if a route has been set.

Oh, got it. I use CarPlay with Apple maps and the speed limit info will only display when a destination is entered (navigating) like you say, and no option to turn it on otherwise. From what you say, GMaps is the same. Sorry, no other information from me anyhow..

Thanks Michael,

 

Seems there may not be a way to have it available all the time. It was always on in my (aftermarket) Nav in my previous truck and, as I never had Nav before I just assumed it was available like that in all Nav systems.

Thanks Tommy,

 

Initially I was trying to only use the OEM Navigation as I didn't want to use my phone (sucks power so always having to plug it in and I go places without cell service). However, when I do use CarPlay, I will try Waze. Maybe just have to get used to always plugging the phone in.

Tommy,

 

Tried using Waze, but could not get the speed limit to show. Only the speed of the vehicle will show (in the upper right). Went into settings and could find speed as well as speed limit but the only one I could activate/deactivate is speed of the vehicle, could not do anything with speed limit, even though it was listed. I must be missing something. Will have to read up on it.

 

And, the other thing I found is Waze is difficult to turn off. I tried it for a bit then turned it off (at least I thought I did as it went to icon only) and turned on the OEM Nav. However, the Waze voice kept playing in the background (and repeatedly kept warning me of fog ahead). Have not had the same issue turning off Google Maps.

Have found it hard to turn off when not in car play, but seems ok when connected. Had the same problem when I had waze and google maps running on same destination, could here both guidance talking. If I remember right, the speed limit shows a speed limit sign that turns red when you are doing over it with your speed in red. Will look at it closer today.

Seems a bit of a weird way to find out the posted speed limit, but at least I now know it can be done (but officer, I was just checking to see what the speed limit is....).

 

Tommy, thanks very much for checking. Much appreciated.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes I agree, its what amounts to free advertising to let people know about his UOA testing company, and not that there is anything wrong with that but certainly that is a motivator for putting out videos about the science of oil as well as other topics such as oil and air filtration etc. The interesting part I found with his last video is not only the physics behind the reason for the varying wear due to a diesels working torque range causing more bearing load and that higher viscosity oil is of benefit, it was also that the chemistry behind the GM Dexos 0W-20 and the Mobil Dexos licensed 0W-20 are far enough apart that its showing up with a difference in wear even though the two oils are matched in viscosity and in that comparison viscosity was not having the finger pointed at it.    There are a few youtubers out there or one anyway that I have watched a bit of who has gone through the pains of accessing various countries manuals for a certain engine platform and while in the US/Canada it may say use 0W-20 or what have you for some Toyota product, in some other countries it sings a very different tune for the very same engine with the typical traditional oil viscosity/ambient temperature charts to help choose which oil viscosity is correct for the conditions the vehicle will be used in and in some cases its taken an engine in a US manual that states only use 0W-20 as per warranty coverage and yet that same engine in certain other countries may have up to a 15W-40 etc oil option that meets the spec. Another words the guy who is driving through Death Valley or Phoenix and south weather at 120f is often being fed a line of bs by the US system that has forced vehicle companies to restrict the warranty to a specific low viscosity oil for anterior reasons as well as the long drain interval suggestions.    Thankfully youtube is free ( yet anyway ) for viewers to sift through information and of course comes with the good and the bad ( truth and lies ) and we can choose to turn off/not watch what a person finds is bs or just not interested in the topic.

      No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.

      I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.
