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.

      Trans Cooler Thermostat Valve Body Seals - 2022 10L80

      By Rick_ · Posted

      Does anyone know if the GM 85628205 and 85628208 are interchangeable?   The 85628205 is an assembly of the seals mated to a thin metal shim and the 85628208 appear to be just the rubber seals without being an assembly. The reason I am asking is that I'm installing a PPE Thermal Bypass Valve and it doesn't come with seals.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck
