Dic Control/options

[05GMC4DR]

I just bought a 2005 GMC Sierra with a DIC. After driving the Silverado and the Sierra it appears that there were more options available for use/selection or is this an indication that the DIC is not working properly? THe truck came with Tire Pressure Monitoring but I cant find any info on the system. I have driving other vehicles that it shows it on. Also the Silverado's have a Instant Fuel economy that the Sierra's do not have. Thanks in advance for your help.

What year Silverado did you drive?....They took some features out from '03/'04 to '05.

Also your truck does not have the tire pressure monitoring system.

I know for the GMT 900's they have an upgrade bezel that seems plug and play easy. I dont know if they have one for the older GMT 800's but it might be worth checking into?

 

Anyone seen any controls for such an upgrade?

 

I know there is one for the 900's on GM Parts Direct for about $100

No,Nothing for the GMT800 trucks.

To fully see the DIC options on the GMT-800 truck u need to have the steering wheel controls, TPMS is only available on the GMT-900 trucks, and they did take out some DIC options on the 2005 Silverados and on the 2006 Silverados the electronic PRND321 was also changed.

I drove 04's and 05 Silverados all of which had the instant fuel mileage. My 05 Sierra does not have it.

I have an 05' Silverado with DIC and steering wheel controls and have NO instant fuel economy read out. I have asked the dealership about it and they said there's nothing they can do to get it on the DIC. Just something I gotta live with. My dad's 03' duramax has this and so does my mom's 2002 GMC Envoy. I am quite dissapointed that this got removed for 05' and whatever other years were neglected. Why they did this, I have NO clue. What, was this going to save them $$$ somehow?? It's just some GD programming.

 

Oops, i'm getting away on a rant. Sorry 'bout that. I just wish there was some way to get that back.

My '06 Sierra didn't have it either and it was loaded. It's back on the NBS though DIC options vary with different trim levels.

I wonder why they took off the instant fuel economy, my 2006 didn't have it either. My 2007 NBS has it though, well GM always does stuff like this.
