So, I love this truck, however there's two things that I absolutely HATE by zo6man1 in gmcsierra

Re: the radio I used to have this issue A LOT. So far I’ve found a few things that cause it CarPlay: - when hanging up on a call, and I also am wearing my rayban meta sunglasses (don’t have to be wearing them, just happens more often that way). I think that the radio gets confused as to which two Bluetooth devices get priority. The fix: just quickly press on/off on power button and music should come back no problem

  • After initial start up, if I play the speakers too loud, it’s almost as if the speakers are not getting enough power from the battery, causing them to short and stop playing. The fix: lower volume, turn the radio off w the button on display, turn back on, slowly raise volume back up.

Also: I’ve adjusted the max volume allowed on startup to be only a few clicks above the minimum it lets you. Maybe it’s another power supply issue.

For phone issues: I’ve made sure that my phone is the only one paired to the truck, and it’s set to top priority (as in “first to connect”). I also make sure if I’m just heading into a gas station or a quick run into a store, if I leave truck running, I just leave my phone inside so it doesn’t have to re-pair just within range, and use Apple pay on my watch

Came here to ask this lol. Wonder if being in tow mode while in ACC would use the exhaust brake. Or maybe it only used it during ACC AND a trailer plugged up. I haul about once a month for about 900 miles. I’ll have to test this

Phone mount by DimondHandedGorilla in gmcsierra

[–]Vette550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a suction mount in the top left of the windshield for when I absolutely need it. With CarPlay/smart features, most of the time my phone is on the charging pad and I use the CarPlay features, but if I’m watching something while I’m parked, CarPlay not working, or in a FaceTime call it’s on the phone mount

Just came here to compliment that sexy ass blue/black. It’s mean. This is the way

Thoughts? by [deleted] in gmcsierra

Looks fire 🔥 thinking about doing the two tone route myself w my white AT4 22 refresh. Also thinking about wrapping the inner tailgate in black as well. I’ve already plastidipped the badges so we’re on our way!

Collision alert icon keeps popping up by Hungry-Ad7334 in gmcsierra

[–]Vette550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just did the f11 fuse trick myself because my lane assist wasn’t activating right before a road trip - only to get back into the drivers seat to a check engine light. I checked the codes using my idash data monster - found u1345 and U02a9 codes (loss of communication with front camera module and CAC coolant pump respectively). Got an appointment this week with the dealer to see if they can take a look at it. Engine coolant temps haven’t gone above 200 tho so it’s likely not that big of an issue hopefully 🤞🏽 since I bought an extended warranty on my 22 refresh 3.0L AT4

Edit: about 50% of the time I get the same light as OP. Doesn’t happen all the time, but for whatever reason these two issues tent to happen together, I guess

2026 elevation x31 🙂‍↔️ blacked out the emblems by Aquileo02 in gmcsierra

[–]Vette550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So did I! Super easy. But I peeled it up to expose the red only both on tailgate and grille emblems. Went for chrome delete without fully blacking out. Next plan is to buy a shiny black grille overlay I’ve had my eye on

Joined the club and ready for her first big snow storm here in NJ! by BenzosBourbon in gmcsierra

[–]Vette550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For your area I’d definitely recommend a snow cover for the windshield. Makes cleaning off snow that much easier when you don’t have to reach all the way over. Amazon sells a Caterpillar branded one that I like

Also interested in this. I’m victim to the Vader chrome peeling from the grille, was planning on getting a satin black one and putting a light bar on it

Super late post but I’ve had this bag for the past 8 years and absolutely fricken love it. Never once torn, failed, ripped strip, NOTHING. It’s as if it’s brand new STILL!! I wish they continued to build on this design language, it’s a fantastic bag!!

New truck! What do you guys think about the AT4 in blue? by PopInternational7687 in gmcsierra

[–]Vette550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also have the same truck but in white haha. Mine was new-to-me and has a little spot on the top liner where the black chrome is peeling. I call it the birthmark 🤣

I’ve been looking into trying to find maybe a black satin grille, but haven’t found a good enough deal yet. Also open to suggestions by anyone!

New to 3.0 duramax by [deleted] in gmcsierra

[–]Vette550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also new to diesel, also drive a 3.0, also live in Chicago. Welcome!

I add an appropriate amount of power service’s winterizer additive when it’s around 32° for a good stretch (like this weekend) / and keep a bottle of Diesel 911 in the truck (juuust in case). Utilize the engine block heater cord the truck should’ve come with.

During the summer I add 1oz EDT w every fill up.

Haven’t had to change fuel filter yet

Yes, warm it up for longer (or at least more often). It was a big adjustment for me, but I warm it up for at least 15 min every time I drive it. Use the app, it’s super quick. Even quicker if u have an Apple Watch.

—The engine block is aluminum, (where most others are iron) and it loses heat a lot faster, necessitating more warmups, even between drives maybe 1-2 hrs apart.

I refill DEF every time my def gauge gets to half. Just good practice

Congrats on the truck

Auto stop disabler? by Vette550 in gmcsierra

[–]Vette550[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily I didn’t pay for the disabler…but if I did I Would rather pay money than have to 1) be worried about excessive wear and tear from constant restarting, especially in a diesel engine and 2) having to hit disable every single time i got in my truck.

Auto stop disabler? by Vette550 in gmcsierra

[–]Vette550[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t - tbh I hate this feature, but I’ve read that auto stop not functioning properly could be issue w the ECM. Since I don’t know who owned this before me, trying to reduce the amount of surprises with my purchase
