'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.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
