So the dealership director talked me into dumping my 2020 gmc Sierra 1500 elevation 5.3 due to vibration issues that no one can figure out and I bought a 2024 gmc 1500 AT4 3.0.  
 

Truck is nice, the Bose radio totally sucks, installed that kicker sub and it’s kind of ok now I guess.  


But wtf is going on with the cameras!?  I can’t see a damn thing at night.  The truck has about half dozen cameras and the only one that you can kind of see anything at night is the front camera.  I’m really bummed out by this.  My 2020 had an amazing camera.  Did something change?  Is there a fix for this?  It’s always something with GM I’m so sick of it.

Common complaint on the 23 and 24s. I find mine is OK, but have read a lot of posts from people who swapped out an earlier model for the later one and your complaints are par for the course. There are several things that have been decontented from the earlier models:

  • Bose audio (not the premium in the Denali and AT4 models) is garbage compared to earlier versions
  • Keyless entry  door handles are only on the front doors now
  • Cameras are garbage compared to earlier versions

 

I'm sure there's more, but those are the ones I'm aware of.

Check if there are any settings in the infotainment system that allow you to adjust the brightness and contrast of the camera feed.

Thanks.  No adjustments.  Had the dealer install the little VLEDS led license plate light bar and holy smokes is that thing bright.  100% fixed my rear view camera issue.

For me, it is crazy I don’t remember considering I paid at least five maybe even $8000 more essentially for those massage seats -that’s how bad they are.    Rather than enjoyment from the massage seats. I get frustrated…

 Worst stereo I’ve ever had in a truck. 

No bass & no one can hear me when I’m on the phone so I end up having to hold my phone.   My 86 Toyota 4Runner 30 years ago shifted in and out of four-wheel-drive Much easier… The turning radius is diminished when you go in four-wheel-drive as well, like mmmmlmmto reverse and back into something you better be with enough interest to **** man my battery went dead to my key. After like three months for the new battery I haven’t had remote entry sense… I’ve checked infotainment extensively. In fact I did it again today the power windows from the remote don’t work. The only thing that seems to work is what I don’t want to work that damn beeping even though I turn off remote left in car ‘beep’ still does it

Seriously, the multi gate was a big selling point as well and it’ll click and act like it’s unlocking six times before it actually drops down the top half sometimes the bottom half

  • Remote windows from the key fob. Yep those have never worked. Turned them on turned them off turn the volume off no work.

I’ve always leased my vehicles, so I get a new one every couple years of course is the one time I didn’t lose. Incredibly disappointing.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
