Ok, so every vehicle I have ever driven has had the Speedo on the right and Tach on the left, even previous Chevy’s. Why on earth was GM dumb and put the Speedo on the left and Tach on the right? Anyone know if there is a way to swap the locations and put the Speedo back on the right?

You would think it would be customizable.  but can tell you I have had plenty of speedos on the left,  my shelby is on the left.  With that said most of the digital stuff ive had has the speedo in the center and the tach off to the left or right lately.  my 2022 DIC sucks in many ways,  GMs has always kind of been that way,  so if the 24 it wouldnt surprise me

I feel the same way, and I don't understand why they can't allow a fully digital cluster to swap the gauges... However, I've found myself liking the Heads-Up Display a lot more than I thought I would and don't really look at the speedometer gauge anymore anyway.

Theres a new TFL truck video of the Ford F350 and the Silverado 3500 duallys running the Ike Gauntlet (copyright) 

 

When they get to the instrument section its clear to see that Ford nailed it and Chevy failed it. 

The Ford has configurable boost, Def, trailer brake and grade brake and other info along with the other gauges having a numerical value unlike the Chevy 9-19v and C to H on temp. I added the trans temp display to my right side inner circle area, every single gauge should be this way, a graph with a numerical value displayed. All this along with a display that actually shows what gear the truck is in. Somebody at Ford must have actually talked to big truck users instead of the soccer Mom that Chevy consulted.

And why would they give a 140 mph speedo when it is governed to 98 mph.  The sweep is small as it is, and only half is useable is kind of dumb.

All of these extras should be doable from an over-the-air update, but who knows if GM will ever do something like that when they can call it out as a feature on future model years. Best we can hope for is maybe a paid "theme" store where we can download different layouts/options.

All the vehicles Ive ever had,  never had push updates that changed anything like on a phone,  just make bug fixes.  With that said doesnt mean that day isnt coming.  Be careful with saying paid,  before you know it were paying to use our own dashboards.

Every GM vehicle (and thats all I have ever owned) had the speedo on the right and the tach on the left (if it had a tach) 

 

The longer I have this 24 the more I am disappointed in the gauges (or lack of) 

When my primary battery crapped out I had no idea since there isnt a serious gauge that will give me an actual voltage. 

This would be fine if it was an Equinox or a Traverse and I was a soccer Mom but this is a serious truck with a non serious gauge setup. 

As soon as I can spare the $300 I am getting a Scangauge III so I can actually get some info out of this truck.

I agree with SC, the Gauge info is terrible on my '24 HD Duramax. I selected the maximum display info. GM should update the software to give more gauge options, show bar graph as well as an exact digital value.

years back, I found this BM-2 Battery Monitor II, with phone App. Around $35.  Put one on my '24 right after delivery on the primary battery. Can assign a name for each Sensor for each vehicle, when they are set up in the App.

Going to see if I can download the BM-2 App in my Google in the GMC screen, and view this on the dash 13.4".

Also going to add a second BM-2 to the Aux battery as well, to keep an eye on it's health.

Like these so much, put three on each battery in my '73 GMC 25ft. motorhome, '88 Ford Diesel #1950 tractor, '66 Dodge W-300 Power Wagon, '78 Trans-Am.

Will add more info next post.

What happens when you switch from miles per hour to kilometer per hour?

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
