I am having random issues where I will be driving down the road and get a text. It shows up on the infotainment screen but its not showing up on the phone.

 

Most the time it works and as far as I know I am not having any missing text when not connected to truck.  Just frustrating to not fully read the text on the truck expecting it to be on the phone to read when I get stopped not to find it there.

 

On another note, anyone know how to get out of the vehicle and lock the door with it running with the Fob in your pocket?

If I'm wanting it to idle while I'm not in it, I'm usually in a place that I don't feel it is necessary to lock it.

 

However, I sometimes shut it off, get out, lock the door and then use the fob for a 'remote start'.

I used to do that with my 2017 High Country but that was different system.  I have been unable to get my drivers door to lock with it running. I thought the manual said hold the lock and extended amount of time. Maybe I did not hold it long enough.

Who is your wireless company? I haven't had anything like that happen with my truck for 2 years before and after the software recall. Verizon

Welp, it's not the wireless company then. Have you done the recall?

Which recall? It's been back for software updates 2 times in the 6 months I have owned it. It's slightly less quirky than when I bought it.

I think you misread what I posted.

 

Shut it off.

Get out.

Lock the door.

Use the remote to re-start.

I am sure that works. But I don't take fob out of my pocket all day. And I don't want to shut it off and restart it. It does that on its own more than I like as is it.

 

Just should be an easy way to lock it why running.

I have a similar problem and I have Verizon but it has nothing to do with the carrier. My problem is I use google messenger and with RCS chat enabled, I will receive a text message while driving and my radio will let me play it back but if I do not send a reply to that message, my cell phone will only show the message in the notification screen and not in google messenger.

 

If I disable RCS chat there is no problem with passing messages between the phone and truck. I do not use android auto anymore and just have my phone connected to my radio and use the built in maps with my phone on mobile hotspot so I cannot attest if this issue is also present with android auto.

Your choice. 

 

But it is a solution that will have it running with the doors locked.

Hope I did not sound unappreciative or snarky as that was not intent.   For my lifestyle its just nice to have the Fob in my pocket and not take it out all day.  In the winter when its sub zero its just nice to run into the quicky mart for a soda or into a customers to drop something off and not shut the truck off.

 

Thanks again.

also your part of locking the truck while leaving it run on ignition is possible. Unfortunately you cannot hit the outside button on the handle or press/press & hold the lock button inside the door to get it to lock. You need to pull the remote out and press the lock button on the remote to secure the truck while it continues to run the engine at idle. Your dash will complain about the missing key but it will go away when you return inside with the fob.

 

The one item I did not test but i'm thinking it won't make a difference, if you go in the radio and disable the anti lockout feature, would it let you press the lock button on the door and secure the truck without needing to press the button on your remote.

 

When you return to the truck you can keep the remote in your pocket and just push the unlock button on the door handle to open the truck back up though.

      Clean During the Day. Serious Light at Night. Sierra HD 40" PRO Kit

      By mandrautomotive · Posted

      Hey everyone, If you've been looking for a way to add serious lighting to your 2024–2026 GMC Sierra 2500HD or 3500HD without sacrificing the truck's clean factory look, I wanted to share one of our favorite setups. Our 40" PRO Light Bar Kit is designed specifically for the refreshed Sierra HD and mounts behind the grille for a built-in, OEM-style appearance. The kit is completely bolt-on, uses factory mounting points, and doesn't require any cutting or drilling. It's also designed not to interfere with the active grille shutters or radiator airflow. A few highlights:   Fits 2024–2026 GMC Sierra 2500HD & 3500HD Compatible with PRO, SLE, SLT, AT4, Denali, and Ultimate trims Curved 40" PRO LED light bar with advanced TIR optics Available in White + Amber DRL or Yellow + Amber DRL Complete bolt-on installation Lifetime warranty   We also put together a light output video so you can see how the PRO light bar performs in real-world nighttime conditions. It does a great job showing the beam pattern, width, and distance before you decide if it's the right setup for your truck.   Is anyone else running hidden grille lighting on their Sierra HD? We'd love to see your setup! If you have any questions about fitment, installation, or choosing between the white and yellow beam options, feel free to ask. We're always happy to help. __________________________ www.MandRonline.com https://www.instagram.com/mandrautomotive/ M&R LED Light kits - www.MandRonline.com | Burbank CA https://www.youtube.com/@MandRautomotive

      It is, It is the purpose. Just ask that everyone plays nice     On another note. The Terrain and the Equinox are fraternal twins. The one we have is spitting distance from 300K and yes, it has been problematic. Oil consumption is inexcusable. That said, nearly everything else fell into the "Routine Maintenance" bucket or expected failure due to age or accident. The 2015 Generation are very comfortable and they drive dreamy. The six speed is a rockstar save for the cheap failure prone manual automatic physical switch in the shifter. I called it quits after three.   The Ecotec 2.4 I-4 sans the GDI pump junk is nearly bulletproof. The hardest thing we experienced with this SUV was rear wheel alignment. The back axle is a starter kit. Toe bolts need to be installed as do extended range camber bolts. Then you have to find someone not new to the planet that has the skill and patients for the horrendous task of dialing it in. But once set, it is rock solid.    The new ones....yea, I'll pass. I have one CVT and it is enough. They could be a good transmission but someone would have to really care designing it.  Subaru seems to have it down fairly well.

      When most people look at GM's EV strategy, they think it was dumb. Obviously, duh?   In hindsight, there was significant financial risk in becoming obsolete if GM didn't go all-in, like a lot of automakers. Had the EV market taken off, GM would have been left defenseless.   Not all of their $10.9B was lost. Only a part of that was sunk costs like supplier penalties and retooling for EV's they canceled or never made.   A sizable chunk of that was R&D and intellectual property which is still in their back pocket for future EVs.   GM hedged the risk but overspent, but then they pivoted and focused on their bread and butter. Not only did GM still have the financial prowess to do that, they've done so successfully. It shows a lot of resilience and the market rewarded it.

      Torsion adjustment

      Here is my '26 with just the torsions adjusted up approximately 1.5", aligned & good to go.  Ride is somewhat stiffer but level & looks great IMO.   Tires are Nitto Trail Grappler MT's 35 x 12.5 x 20 on stock rims. Truck has about 14,500 miles
