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.

    • Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/        
    • UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update  
    • GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.  
    • Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.
    • I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
