Technology has advanced well beyond the point where industry can/will keep up. All the way from design to implementation to repair. Unfortunately its not going to change because the 2027 HD's are rumored to have a new architecture (the one that wont have Android auto or Apple carplay but will have subscription only services) 

Yes i see that, GMI has a discussion on this topic, i can only see more of this as their cost to produce have over doubled with the crazy union contracts they were pretty much forced into. These cost increases are no doubt getting passed onto anyone who purchases a GM product.

I think the bigger issue is the amount of attention and resources being spent on EV's and not finding its way back in to R&D on the ICE vehicles that are actually profitable. The whole EV thing is a money suck.

I think we are at a point were too much runs through the infotainment systems and like any home pc, you get what your pay for! And my bet is gm uses the cheapest of cheap hardware components to run these setups and with in house crap made software to match with crap cheaply made hardware it is not shocking to see all these issues!

 

It's not just fullsizes, i have seen these same common complaints with the Colorado and Canyon lines.

 

We passed that point years ago. And GM has some of the absolutely WORST software out there in terms of inter-op within the vehicles. Their programmers do some of the absolutely DUMBEST things, and here's an example from my 2015 Silverado...

 

Click the button on the back of the left side of the steering wheel to change radio presets. You will need to wait for the DIC to pop-up the list of presets, change the highlighted one to the one that aligns with the number of presses of the button, and then the station on the radio will change. The process takes a couple of seconds from the time you press the button until the station changes, making "scanning" through the stations a giant, slow PITA of a process.

 

Before you press that button on the wheel, though, reach over with your left hand and give the trailer brake controller gain levers a squeeze. This will pop up the gain indicator in the DIC. Immediately start clicking your way through the radio stations using the button on the steering wheel and the station changes instantaneously with each click of the button.

 

The entire delay is due to the lag in time required for the DIC to show the preset list.

1. When remote started the temp controls have stopped working and yes the controls always are left in auto.

 

The truck controls the temp by the outside temp probe located under the passenger outside mirror. It doesn't matter what state the controls are in when the truck is turned off. I turn mine off every time I leave the truck but, when I get in from remote start the defrost is running on low (now that it's cold) before I push the start button. There should be no lights lit on the dash when running during remote started either.

 

It's a three-part setup.

 

1. Enable the different heating / cooling controls in the Infotainment that you want to "allow" to operate during remote start.

 

2. Set your HVAC controls how you typically use them. I tend to leave mine in AUTO set to 72 during the cold months and AUTO set to 70 during the warm months.

 

3. When remote started, the external temperature probe will determine which of the "allowed" functions (heat, cool, defrost, heated seats, etc.) to turn on and will use the settings for heat/cool that were set when the truck was turned off.

If they were actually doing anything innovative on the EV side, there is NO WAY they would be leaving that out of the ICE side. It makes no sense to develop two systems in parallel which costs more money. GM has a terrible track record with software development. Why do I have to create a driver profile in my current truck in order to enable the feature control to limit the power-on volume of the radio? If you don't create a unique driver profile, this setting is not available to you. And guess what? The one you want to set so it actually works correctly for all drivers? The one in the Guest profile which is what you're using until you create your own. How stupid is that?

I agree they are a mess,  It all comes down to $$$$    

Look at the dash on the 24 Silverado HD's. its a joke designed by people who werent serious truck users. 

Somebody had to green light these projects ?

Everything has been working 2 days before, but again this truck has a mind of its own. We changed nothing and always leave in automatic on controls. So remote starting has changed.

I am in the same feelings as 64BAwagon said it has a wiring harness issue. This truck has been an issues sense the day we picked it up. Dealer knows something isn't right and is exchanging it.

On the phone charging issue there is a known issue with iPhones running IOS 17.1 and later not charging in GM vehicles. (17.1.1 and 17.1.2 did not solve the issue).  Hopefully there will be a fix in 17.2.   

Nope,

I updated my OS to 17.0 yesterday and the charging cradle issues with the IPhone didn't go away.

You're still two revs behind. 17.2 is the version that addresses a wireless charging problem caused by the phone software. I'm waiting to take my truck in for issues with the charging system in the truck...

Nope the truck went back to working on its own with remote start. This truck has a mind of it's own.

Remote start truck went out got in it and all is heated up and ready to go. We never touch and changed any settings.

      Oil Consumption

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I agree.   However, the owner's manual, suggests that a drop over full is just as bad as a drop under. (Read black and white letters only, insert no common sense.)

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That P0700 and loss of power suggests something significant is amiss to me.   More/other codes may suggest otherwise; I would investigate those prior to spending the money to change fluid on a transmission with a bad torque converter.    The relatively sudden escalation of symptoms to me suggests that something began failing (initial shuddering experienced) and rapidly deteriorated (slipping/loss of power). Fluid condition alone wouldn't cause the sudden escalation of problems - though it might have been the cause of the deterioration up to the point of failure.

      AWD conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack operation is in a sense a separate/independent operation from the operation of 'traction control'. Stabilitrack is used to keep the vehicle traveling in the DIRECTION intended, it can brake independent wheels and or adjust throttle to influence the direction the vehicle is moving.   This can be illustrated by a 'fish-tailing' example. At high speeds, if the stabilitrack detects excessive yaw (the vehicle spinning like a top, it has a sensor for this), based on inputs from steering angle it determines that the vehicle is spinning out of control, and begins working to control that unintended spin. By reducing throttle input or braking specific wheels to control or prevent the spin.   The traction control works similarly using the ABS system to slow spinning wheels and thus transfer power to 'other' wheels. The goal being to achieve wheel speeds that are all in agreement with each other, the truck then assumes that since all the wheels speeds are the same no spinning is occurring. For example, launching up a wet boat ramp, there is no excessive yaw present, traction control alone can manage the wheel spin by braking spinning wheels and cutting throttle.   Stabilitrack and traction control from a hardware and software standpoint are basically one in the same, I don't remember specifically in 2004, but you couldn't get a truck with one and not the other. The switch on the dash, could turn off the traction control, but not necessarily the stabilitrack.    A confusing comment about stabilitrack vs. traction control, the same components serve both operations, but marketing could advertise them as two separate features.    The AWD system is another separate system entirely, in addition to the other two, it uses the same wheel speed inputs but can also vary the transfer case clutch application to direct some power to the front axle, working in conjunction with the traction control to bring wheel speeds together.   The power split will never be greater than 50:50, the same as 4-high. It will never direct MORE power to the front axle than the rear.

      Start-Stop ?

      Not based on the new photos I'm seeing.  Car and Driver posted additional photos that shows an auto stop start button left of the steering wheel.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Car and Driver is reporting wireless CarPlay WILL remain, and they posted several additional photos, including a left knee shot, but the only hard buttons there are e-brake, auto start stop, tailgate and cargo light.  Also definitely looks like High Country and ZR2 get micro fiber on the center of the console lid and the ZR2 possibly also on the seats.
