I just attached my boat to my Suburban for the first time and nothing happened. The rear dropped just as bad if not worse then my tahoe that didnt have autoride. Im not getting any trouble codes or messages in the DIC to indicate that anything is wrong. I had the key in the run position and waited for quite a while and nothing happened. Im starting to wonder if it really has autoride on it or not. The VIN is 1GNFK16Z64J269319. It is supposed to have autoride, stabilitrak, and awd, but I dont understand why the autoride is not performing the way the manual says. The vehicle has 45000 on it and is in mint condition. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. The boat Im towing is a Ranger 520 with a 225 outboard. The boat weighs approx 1725 lbs and the GVWR is 5000 so it should be heavy enough to set off the autoride I would think. Thanks in advance.

well i checked the vin and you do have the auto ride suspention

and according to the owners manual your operating the system properly

my only advise is the check for a blown fuse. otherwise it will have to

take to the dealer.

Thanks for the fast response. Im going to go check all the fuses right after dinner. Is there somewhere besides the dealership that I could purchase the parts to do the repair if it turns out to be a bad compressor?

      If you suspect an engine swap or similar modification to the front accessory drive...   Maybe try spending some time plugging in different make/models/years that utilized the same engine (prime donor vehicles or swap candidates), vans, full-size cars (Impala, Roadmaster), 4x4 trucks to get a collection of pump and brackets that are similar along with their associated part numbers; take that collection of part numbers to the parts store to compare.   Another Okie.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      There are knowns and unknowns.   Knowns:   - LT, RST and LTZ names/trims are gone.  The new "Silverado" trim level replaces all 3 of those.  You should be able to configure the Silverado trim to match the equipment levels of those three trims.    Unknowns:    - Custom.  No mention of what engines it will have access to.  Dual exhaust being standard does seem to confirm a V8 option for the Custom trim though.  My "guess" is that Custom will have access to the Turbomax and the 5.7.  I could be wrong though.  The current Custom trim went 2.7 Turbomax only the last 4-5 years, and only had a single side exit exhaust.     - 40-20-40.  I would imagine that is NOT going away.  They only focused on showing the new interior on the top trims, Trail Boss, ZR2 and High Country, hence the images shown are just bucket trucks up front.         The info should start coming fairly quickly over the next weeks and months.  Production is supposed to start up later this year, so when the order guide launches, you'll be able to see the configurations of engines, cabs, seating, etc.

      I don’t do offloading other than a dirt road literally for me it’s more about the look which I really appreciate a nice looking truck and I like sitting a higher and not just because I’m 5 foot seven lol..  I’m also not compensating for anything lol..  but I truly think it’s safer on the road the higher you sit you have better visibility generally speaking especially a few of your Sideview mirrors adjusted correctly. They do make a programmer rough country does they’re $1000 for these new 2500s but when I do a gear swap that would be a moot point. A lot of the shops that I go to in my area they’re all saying the same thing that Yukon Detroit axle Eaton Spicer Richmond they don’t have gear shot for these trucks which surprises me because hasn’t this body style been out since 2020? I’m hoping soon they have something because yeah I’ll have to spend the 3K to get both axles done. Thank you for all of your response responses. I apologize if there’s any grammatical error errors as I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone without proofreading

      I guess I don’t look at it as extreme I had 11 inches on a 1500 ram with 38 I had a 4 inch on a OBSF350 with 37 I had a 4 inch on an OBSF 250 with 35 and I’m not really into off-road I just appreciate good-looking vehicles this truck will never be offloaded other than maybe a dirt road    I mean the factory is even putting 37 on Broncos etc. Raptors they know what people want

      OCI, not when but why?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Topic: OCI, not when but why? Have you considered that just because there is limited documentation on GM's programming of the OLM system that it is not a sign of it's simplicity but a protection of intellectual property? We both agree the system's published parameters are too limited to present an accurate picture of oil quality.   I am not discussing my oil change routines in this comment, I am discussing the parameters of the GM OLM; a key component of "OCI" when and why.   You know what I find interesting? GM trucks, discussing things relevant to those trucks.   If free conversations are not allowed in threads you start I suggest having a discussion with a moderator to have them grant you authority to police and suppress the free exchange of thoughts on your topics accordingly.   Alternatively, if you only want to talk about oil without distractions I suggest bobistheoilguy.com or starting your own blog.   Carry on your discussion of "Engine Wear and ISO 4406"
