You do realize you have a fuel gauge, right? :lol:

On long trips the air pressure monitor give me a little piece of mind, though overall I do like the fuel range info and yes I do know that I have a gas gauge I had to order it with the WT package though...lol, I guess I could say that I enjoy the whole thing no complaints and enjoy every part of it.

More often than not I leave it on the instant MPG. It keeps my foot lighter on the gas pedal (or it makes me giggle when I stomp on it).

I like the range and avg.

 

 

I also like getting the email from OnStar with my tire pressure and oil life, lol. I won't keep paying for it when it's gone, but it is pretty cool.

But when I do, I like all the functions.

I like the Fuel Used. I like to be reminded of how much $$ I contributed to the ridiculous bonuses handed out to oil company executives. :thumbs:

I always keep mine on the Total Mileage just so I can see the outside temp. Otherwise, I'd just turn it off. I mean, who wants to stare at the MPG with a 6.2l V8? :thumbs:

 

Although when I had a rental Tahoe last year with V4/8 mode, I did keep that one on that screen just to see how it worked and when it would kick in.

If you leave it on instant MPG too long it will make you drive like a granny... or make you cuss OPEC.

      Did you ever get this worked out? Mike is doing the two start thing now too. This is after a new camera back in December.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
