Bought a '24 1500 LTZ with some packages I'm not familiar with

I recently bought a '24 LTZ. This is my first Chevy and I'm not super familiar with all the packages or offerings. I typically only buy cars barebones with no packages or dealer added items. I ended up buying this one after seeing it was on the lot for almost a year and talking the dealership down to 60k..

 

My main question is, I see that the window sticker has "trailer tire pressure monitor system". Was I supposed to receive anything like TPMS sensors with this package or is this referencing something else? I did get a separate box with a trailer camera.

 

The other thing I was curious about.. I read about the top part of the multi-flex tailgate hitting your hitch when opened. I found some posts online saying you could disable it by holding the top button on the tailgate for 3s with the key on you. I tried this to no effect, there's no feedback from the car and the tailgate still opens. Is there any tricks to disabling it?

Edit: the quick start booklet that comes with the truck says hold 3s to disable. The owners manual says 7s. That's where the confusion started.

 

Thanks

Edit: Dealer got the sensors for me.. They mentioned that none of their trucks with that line item had the sensors in them, so something is failing along the way. Sucks for the buyers that don't catch it.

The tailgate block is explained in the owners manual. Basically you need the key fob in hand and hold the top button for 7 seconds, tail lights flash when successful.

 

4 TPMS sensors should be in the vehicle somewhere unless dealer screwed up and removed them,

Congrats!

Lots of nice goodies on that truck.

 

 

I also think the $50 entry in the option list is for sensors that were ordered with that truck. 

Might be i glovebox, console or one of the rear seatback storage spots. 

Did you find the 'funnel' that is needed to use a portable fuel can to add fuel using the 'capless' system?

 

 

Trailer tire pressure module is standard on 2024 ZR2, LTZ and HC  as part of the trailering app. 

(optional on 1LT version of LT, RST and LT Trailboss)

 

UET  In-Vehicle Trailering App, System, includes checklist, trailer maintenance reminders, trailer security alerts, trailer mileage, tow/haul reminder, trailer electrical diagnostics and Trailer Tire Pressure Monitor System module 

 

 

Trailer tire pressure sensors are always optional (and much cheaper if included in a factory order rather than purchases thru accessories.
 

 

PTT Trailer Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors, includes set of 4 sensors. Sensor functionality requires (UET) Trailering App to be ordered with the vehicle and installed by the factory. Sensors will be shipped loose with the truck and will need to be installed on trailer by customer. System is capable of monitoring up to 6 wheels. Additional or replacement sensors are available through GM Accessories.

 

Lots of people by LTZ but never tow, or tow but can't be bothered to install the sensors.

ah, I read 3 seconds somewhere. Will try again. I checked all compartments, didn't see the TPMS sensors anywhere.

I'd look in the center console or under the rear seat for the TPM sensors.  Should be 4?  Unless GM got cheap and only gives 2 now.

Just heard back from the sales man, according to him, TPMS sensors aren't included. That's annoying.

His message:

"It’s a monitoring system in the vehicle. It doesn’t physically come with TPS sensors. The truck is prepped with the monitoring system so you don’t have to get any aftermarket systems to program the TPS sensors.

Once the trailer is connected, there’s a way to program your trailer TPS sensors to the vehicle."

 

I did figure out the tailgate disable thing. It is indeed 7 seconds to disable it. I checked my owners manual and there is no section on the tailgate at all.

Lots of sales types get stuff like this wrong.

 

The monitoring is standard on 2024 LTZ.

$50 is the add-on cost if sensors are desired.

page 26 of owners manual

 

ugh, just realized I wasn't looking at the owners manual, but rather the "essential operating and safety information" booklet. My truck did not come with an owners manual which I guess is another thing I need to request from the dealership.

Printed full manuals are no longer provided from GM.  This started 2023 and has pretty much spread to the whole lineup.  If you want a print one its on your $$ unless your dealer is willing to eat the cost for one.  

 

The link Jay P posted is the easiest source.  The manual is also located in the MyChevrolet app on your phone (if you installed it) and in your radio in the MyChevrolet app.

As others mentioned, your truck was ordered with the sensors (the $50 charge) and they should have been in there somewhere.  Option code PTT should be on your build sheet.  Sensor should have been in one of the two gloveboxes, under the back seat, center console, somewhere.  

 

My guess if they aren't there?  Toolbox of the tech who did the PDI or GM forgot them while it was rolling down the assembly line.  Either way, if not there, dealer owes you 4 trailer TPM sensors if they aren't with the truck as it was ordered.

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
