I'm not a fan of the auto start stop system and try to remember to push the button when I get in the truck but forget most times. 

I came across this video and the link to this mod is in the video description. Has anyone heard of this or tried it?

I installed one on my 21 Sierra almost since new. Easy install and have not had any problems with it.

This is good to know thanks.

Never seen that one before.....looks simple. 

BUT, what does it actually do to the truck and how does it work?  

I don't like just installing modules without knowing how it works, in case I have issues.

I agree, that's why I'm asking here. I like you don't have to open up the whole instrument panel to install though.

I have the "Auto Stop Eliminator", been running it for over 2 years and love it, no problems, fairly easy install with a dash trim tool!!

That's what is so appealing about the original option......no need to tear the dash apart. 

I won't do that just to install a jumper.....every time you tear apart the Tupperware it leads to squeaks and rattles.

It tricks the truck into thinking the battery is low so the truck stays running to charge it.

 

Thanks....sounds like s slick idea, but....

Got me wondering what that does to the battery? So is it continuing to charge the battery and possible overcharging it, I wonder?

There was a GM service bulletin someone had posted on here about auto stop eliminators causing issues with batteries or throwing codes. The resolution was to remove the auto stop eliminator and charge the customer since it was an aftermarket part and not covered under warranty.

That was one of the units that plugged in behind the dash switch........it always draws current and will eventually discharge the battery and throw a code.

I agree with the above about not wanting to take the dash apart. I didn't find any more videos on this item. Fooling the charging system concerns me also. I guess I need to do a better job of making myself turn it off as soon as I start the truck.

I just ordered one.  Sounds simple enough and affordable enough.  I've been waiting for something like this.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
