So I usually leave my vehicle in sport mode. 2024 1500 RST 6.2L with active exhaust. This has a secondary pipe coming out the muffler which I assume has a butterfly valve in it where this wire is going into it. Nevertheless, when the truck first cold starts, it’s nice and loud with a throaty raspy sound as to be expected.

 

I like it this way because if someone were to start it in my driveway while I’m sleeping I’d know about it. Also, if I remote start it, I can tell it started…

 

Anyways, the truck just had some updates. I thought this was only for the radio which seemed to fix a connection issue where there’s no volume in the car (for now). So I thought nothing of it.

 

Now I’m realizing that the truck always starts in normal mode, which I don’t want. I thought maybe I bumped it with my knee getting out, which I’ve done before and to the lights knob also.

 

I’m just wondering if this is really the case? I’d prefer it to stay in the last set configuration. Or at least let me set that in the vehicle settings.

1. Start in normal mode always.

2. Start in sport mode always.

3. Start in trailer mode always.
4. Start in last known configuration. ie normal, sport, trailer.

 

 All the downfalls of this truck and now this … I’m very displeased.

Mine has been in Sport Mode since the day I got it (sounds bad ass). I don't  know about any over the air update recently but mine always starts and runs in Sport Mode.

    • Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?
    • How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit. 
    • Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that? 
    • What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way too big headlights (similar to a previous non-Wrangler SUV) should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crossing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...
