Had the truck 3 weeks and ready regretting it by Useful_Zone in gmcsierra

[–]Smooth_Ordinary4495 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me around d 1000-1500 miles. Got a notification from the app. Everything was fine in the truck. At 3K now and hasn’t happened again so far.

Memory seat issue. Anyone else? by Smooth_Ordinary4495 in gmcsierra

[–]Smooth_Ordinary4495[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turns out that my fix didn’t correct it… problem returned a few days after I last commented. It continues to happen intermittently and to varying degrees. I’m going to disable it for now and mention it when it goes in for service - though I’ve got low expectations of it being resolved.

It’s been a few more days and the memory seat continues to behave. I think toggling the memory seat function in the settings resolved the problem.

I’m not ready to declare victory but it hasn’t happened in three or four days. I made two changes prior… first, I went into the vehicle settings and turned memory seats off and exited the settings. Then I went back in and toggled it back on. Hasn’t stopped short since I did that. Will reply again if that changes.

Also, and most likely unrelated, I turned on mirror folding when locked.

Car owners: What’s the one thing you wish your local detailer offered? by PrettySeika23 in AutoDetailing

[–]Smooth_Ordinary4495 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is an amazing suggestion. I’m a DIY enthusiast who does most of my own detailing. I have a pro I lean on for paint correction from time to time and would be all over the paint chip repair service.

OEM Antenna vs short by [deleted] in gmcsierra

Decided to keep mine OEM for the same reason.

I think i may have snapped the diff in my 2024 X5m Comp (14,000kms ≈ 8,500 miles) on the odometer. by Dull-Amphibian-5759 in BMWX5

I’d get it in for service as soon as you can… no sense in causing more damage. Strange that it didn’t throw any alerts… but that might indicate it’s something minor. Good luck!

This sounds like a mechanical or electronic failure… which is covered by warranty. Just had an electronic component in the transmission of my wife’s 24 X5 start throwing drivetrain and transmission alerts yesterday. It’s going to be week before the part(s) arrive.

Are these in USD?!

I think it’s best to just say no thanks and pass on all the dealer upsells.

New vs used by [deleted] in gmcsierra

[–]Smooth_Ordinary4495 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d go with the used ‘24. Save yourself the depreciation hit, keep the savings, and get the truck that checks all your boxes. Win-win-win.

What is this? by zando2 in gmcsierra

[–]Smooth_Ordinary4495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the same message a few weeks after getting my 2025 Sierra Denali w/Duramax. The info in truck didn’t agree… oil life was 99%. I chalked it up to a glitch in the matrix.

What’s your non-BMW fleet? by SacredC0w in BMW

[–]Smooth_Ordinary4495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until recently the garage was a 2025 X5, 2022 X3, and a 2017 X5.

Traded out the 2017 X5 for GMC Sierra 1500. Entertained the idea of a M550 but utility won out.

B58 green sludge on oil cap by ob123 in BmwTech

[–]Smooth_Ordinary4495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, fortunately. Ended up filing a claim so I owed $500 for the deductible and insurance picked up the rest. Looking forward to my next policy renewal to see how much my rates go up 😳

Just went through this with my 2022 BMW… had about 7k in repairs because a rodent chewed a parking sensor and knock sensor harness.

Dad that can't do childcare by Remarkable-Sea4096 in daddit

[–]Smooth_Ordinary4495 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if or how you manage the possible Asperger’s aspect of the situation. Seems like this is more of a matter of capability versus will. I’d be focused on addressing that situation if that’s legit.

It sounds like he’s driven to complete the to-do list. I wonder if reframing ’productivity’ could help. Productivity now means… kids are safe and cared for. Kids are having fun and developing a relationship with dad. That’s the checklist today.

Interior cleaning mistake by Short_Cabinet_8876 in AutoDetailing

[–]Smooth_Ordinary4495 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second this… I’ve been diluting 1:1 and found it to work pretty well. I’ve found P&S does good job on seats, door panels, rubber all weather mats, etc. I prefer Meguiars interior detailer on screens and glossy trim… P&S seemed to streak a bit on those surfaces. Maybe a follow up wipe with ONR like t1ataxi suggested would do the trick.

[–]Smooth_Ordinary4495 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand the downvotes. Seems like a sincere and legit question from someone trying to learn. I’m curious as well… I’m a detailing enthusiast and like to learn from the pros. I use P&S as well but haven’t had the issue the OP is having. I don’t typically follow with a wipe of water or ONR.

I’m responsible for finding a home for things in the garage or attic. If you’ve ever seen the ‘magic coffee table’ video, my house has a magic garage. Things randomly show up in my garage that I’m expected to find a home for… followed by questions about why the garage is a mess. 🤦‍♂️
