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.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

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

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
