Does anyone know how to find out what's in an update or, perhaps even more importantly, how to know what is an update BEFORE you accept to install one?

 

Thanks

This a screenshot I took off the MY GMC app on my phone. There may be more in depth data out there, The only real change I  have seen so far after the update on mine is the wireless phone charger actually works now.

I've seen people post that their collision warning light is staying lit now after the update

I've read that people have been having trouble with their Intellibeams not automatically cycling on at restart. Also the some have lost the mid gate lockout failing to works. when ever I see something posted I check it out . So far so good on everything. Just a thought but  my truck came complete with no retrofits. Maybe when they retrofit stuff and update the fits, its causing the glitches.

Yep, Intellibeams broke on previous update, but we gained camera constantly on capability. Regarding inner tailgate lockout, we actually have it now working as of the previous update. I don't know what changed in the current update. MTY55 said wireless charger is now working, but mine has always worked.

 

That said, I'm wondering if OTA updates can contain the same fixes/breaks that dealer flashes can. Or, are OTA only minor updates and dealer flashes are reserved for major updates?

My Intellibeams don't stay activated once I turn the truck off but I also did not get the ability to keep my camera on constantly while driving, it is still on a timer.

So, you experienced a downgrade. Sorry to hear that. What about inner tailgate lockout. Did that always work on your truck, and does it still work?

My lane assist seems more aggressive since the upgrade. It's usually just a subtle pull, but now it really tugs if it doesn't like my line. Anyone notice this? I also got a "Take control of steering wheel " warning once. The truck does not have super cruise.

I never tried using that function before or since the update, I always take my hitch out when not towing.

You might want to check the function anyway, so you can lock it out when you have a trailer attached, too, not just if the hitch is left in by itself. Hope that makes sense.

Mine shows version GM N22-2379480 from 11/22, and no updates available.  Not sure why it hasn't received anything since November.  I did just take it in for the first oil change, and they did the recall for the headlights.

Not sure what else happens with the running lights recall flash, but does your camera now stay on when you turn camera on while moving? Do your Intellibeams stay on after turning them on, turning the truck off and turning the truck back on? What about inner tailgate lockout, any change?

I actually haven't tried any of those since I got it done.  I will check and report back.

An OTA popped up up yesterday. GM N22 - 2379480. By accepting, the update apparently authorizes additional updates in the future. Sort of an opt out, I guess. Of course, I let it update.

I got the same yesterday. 

Heading out tomorrow on a 2500 mile trip so I hope it didn't screw anything up.

      I am sure that was quite the pass experience and not a great place to experience during the winter when the conditions are not good. I've seen video of that pass and also more detailed information and pictures about the wrecks at that one hair pin turn where tractor trailers have flown right off the cliff and I am sure from all the warning signs that you know the exact curve that was !. After all there is a reason why a song was made about Wolf Creek Pass !. By the way and I didn't realize this either when I bought my truck as its nothing I even thought of that would be programmed into the cruise control and this occurs in either the basic or the more advanced cruise that controls your distance behind a vehicle and that is the brakes going down a hill are being applied as soon as the vehicle goes a certain speed over the set cruise speed. While it certainly does force downshifts in the transmission as you found out with cruise on while going down hill, its also dragging the brakes as needed to keep the speed controlled to what the cruise was set to. For me, I find that unsettling simply because I have no concept then as to how MUCH brake input is being used a and just how hot are those brakes getting and the wear factor as well. I can see that system getting a person into trouble on long mountain grades while pulling a trailer as it would not only be standing on the brakes of the pickup without any driver input, it would also be automatically applying the trailer brakes and it could cause a run away unit by overheating the brakes. Its one thing on a shorter hill and if the driver allows it to do its thing but on a long mountain grade is where things could get so out of hand. As someone a while back on this forum said, they had someone following them at night I believe on a down grade and had the cruise set and the person behind them could see the brake lights being energized all the way down the hill. I figured when I saw your comment that you didn't know and would have no way of knowing that your truck was applying the brakes and that you would and rightfully so assume you only used the brakes when you pressed on the pedal to slow down more than the cruise set speed for the slower sharp curves. So its good knowledge to know this about the newer GM trucks, certainly when doing any descending on long mountain grades. In the future try kicking off the cruise and use the the manual mode on a pass to see what that is like as I know myself when I first experienced it I thought no way can this engine be holding me back this well and tried the same hill in manual mode and sure enough the engine was revving way up and still could not hold the trucks speed down like it could in cruise mode.    Fuel mileage, that is where a really low sleek type of car can do better at higher speeds, certainly it starts sucking fuel too but a tall pickup is pushing massive amounts of air and also allowing a lot more air under it and the tow mirrors as in elephant ears pushing through the wind  as well. Driving like grandpa is about as good as one can do when driving one of these if trying to get the best fuel economy they can. I bet these trucks would get the best mileage they can if driven on a freeway in Florida if not busy traffic at a sedate speed and that sea level elevation without hills, vastly different then Colorado !.
