Its called a revenue stream. they have been talking about it for a few years now. The same way they license the Dexos and Dexcool  certifications. I love a good Government conspiracy as much as anyone but this component of the GM story doesnt have any. By your own admission you say you arent buying a new truck so why would GM care what your preferences are ? 

I will however argue that its cultural and the more people become dependent on tech the more companies will leverage that for revenue. Personally I dont use Google maps, it has screwed me over more times than I can type. If I am going to a state or area I am unfamiliar with I order a paper map and add it to my collection. I can still drive a manual trans, change a tire and write in cursive too.  

A paper map can’t tell you ifs there’s a traffic problem ahead. My Waze app with my travels has saved my bacon more ways than I can count. My travels involves interstates mostly and in a matter of seconds an event could pop up. And yes I still drive a stick.

Very late getting back to you all, weeds to spray and a tractor with a bad water pump. Can't complain, tractor is a 1951 Ford 8N and it appears the leaking pump was the original. How many of our current vehicles will still be running in 73 years? Anyway, thanks for the help. Now it is up to me.
