I had two threads running, this one and a second on Cruise Control. Thought I would add to both via this post, as the new info was obtained from the same source.

 

Had the truck in to the dealer today, for the recall installation of the missing heated seats module.

 

While there, I spoke with one of the service reps (one of the more senior guys, who has been there for years) about the two issues described in the two threads - how to change the TPMS psi point at which the low psi warning would activate and why my Cruise Control allows the truck to go at least 19 kmh past the CC set speed.

 

Regarding TPMS, the service rep stated the factory sets the psi warning at 3 psi below the factory recommended setting and there is no equipment that one could purchase that would allow the user to change this setting. He advised the vehicle would have to be brought in for service and he wasn't even sure they could actually do this. I didn't tell him that I have bee driving with the PSI at 70, rather than the recommended 80.

 

Regarding CC, the rep advised me that CC is not intended to brake/slow the vehicle when it goes over the set speed when it goes downhill, that is up to the driver to do. It is only intended to accelerate the vehicles speed until it reaches the set speed and then generally maintain that speed. Didn't have the time/patience to challenge his position.

 

So, I doubt I will get any further assistance from this dealer on these issues.

Ok, so here I go.  #1 the cruise control will definitely slow the vehicle down by downshifting into a lower gear to help lower the speeds when going above the set speed using engine compression.  At least that's what my truck does.  #2.  I run 60 in the rear tires and 50 in the front when not towing.  And I've never had a tire pressure light warning.  And again, that is with my truck.  So I'm not saying this person doesn't know what they are talking about.  But what I will say is, "concerning my truck" what you were told is not how my truck reacts at all.  Perhaps it's time to find another dealer or service rep.  I hate them all to be honest, well not hate, I guess it's more that I don't trust a thing that comes out of their mouths.

this is 100% false.

the low light threshold is 20% below what is posted on the placard.

 

also, there are tools that can reprogram the thresholds. I have one. mine are set at 45 and 40.

What year and model? I have not been able to find any solution for a 2024 Sierra Denali 2500.

I use an Autel TS508 to set the tire placard pressures I want through the OBDII.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By wxman13 · Posted

      Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      I finally got it to start. It was a mix of a few issues. The frame ground was in bad shape so I ran a new one and cleaned up the area to get a good connection then covered it in rust reformer then bed liner to keep it as clean as possible. The other ground I found that looked suspect was on the frame toward the back of the truck near the bed. I did the same. After pulling the fuse box out from the engine bay I found a couple of wires that looked like at some point mice may have got ahold of it. That was an easy fix. After that i was able to get control power and was able to trace down a few more connections going to the other fuse panels in the cab. After that it finally started up and runs. It sounds like an angry school bus which I can work with. No OBD2 codes, but I think since its set for a long time I should pull the turbo and get it rebuilt or swapped out, but for now im good to go. Thanks for all the advice. It got me on the right track.
