I just bought a new 2023 Sierra SLT with the electronic shifter. Seems I have a problem when shifting into reverse to back out of the garage that sometimes when I let go of the shifter, it goes into Netrual and not stay in Reverse. Am I doing it wrong or is there a problem?
Thanks for the help.

My first guess would be started moving shifter before button was depressed enough.

You might be right. Normally I press the brake to start the engine, keeping my foot on the brake then select R, if I let go of the shifter, it falls back to N. Yesterday after starting, I took my foot off the brake, put it back on, then pushed the button, then selected R, took my hand off and it stayed in  R. I'll have to try this again to see if that's my problem.

On a second note, the Google map only shows what I have saved in my favorites from my account and gas stations. I've tried selecting others like restaurants and saving it, but it seems not to stay after shut down. I'm looking for points of interest when traveling.

Thanks for the help.

Just bought a 2023 GMC Sierra slt with the console. This shifter is the absolute dumbest idea ever. You push the shifter forward to go into reverse and vice versa. What imbecile at GM thought this up. Very counter intuitive. I may dump this turd and get a Ford for the first time ever. I guess GM has gone woke and is in transition.

I like my shifter which is the same one as yours. I’m not sure I understand the woke part because of the shifter. Not to be argumentative , but I hate the woke ****** too

I have a new 25 silverado 1500 with 1200 miles and it has a console shifter that does the same thing. You start the truck , mash the brake , push the shifter forward to engage reverse and as soon as you let go of the shifter , it pops into neutral.

I have had to push the shifter forward and hold it there to keep "reverse" engaged . It may take several attempts to get the shifter to stay in reverse . And yes , I push the button on the shifter to engage to gear selector . This is very annoying, and I would be upset if it was my personal truck not my company truck.

Hold the button in while pushing forward into reverse. It will stay in reverse then.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
