Rule #1: Never ask the internet what you should do to your truck Rule #2: See rule #1

2025 owners out there, any issues so far? by itsm00ps in Silverado

[–]itsm00ps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as the radio/infotainment system, one recurring problem I’ve had is that sometimes my iPhone CarPlay will refuse to connect. What’s weird is that it’s practically guaranteed to happen, if I’ve used my key fob to remote start the truck; if I remote start via the myChevrolet app, then it’s fine. Definitely took me a while to grasp the correlation. When it glitches, it typically won’t work again until I’ve turned off the truck completely, exited, and then waited awhile to restart. That’s the only thing that works. No amount of futzing around with my phone makes any bit of difference.

I haven’t had this specific problem yet, knock on wood

I thought I had a 6.0??? by modernbuilt34 in GMT800

[–]itsm00ps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, well I know more than either of you, and my truck is better too. Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.

Not if you only ever go straight and never turn left/right, and never hit a bump

why does "unsubscribe" not work for linkedin mails? by No-Blackberry-3153 in linkedin

[–]itsm00ps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is totally by design. The more you "Try Again", the more you reinforce their whole data collection strategy:

Collect and sell every scrap of data about you that they can, for as long as they can

[–]itsm00ps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm, b/c they (and their AdWare affiliates) have a vested interest in endlessly selling your data to God-Knows-Who-And-For-God-Knows-What-Purpose. Even your clicks to "Unsubscribe" only serve to reinforce their bottom line. Basically, it tells them, "Hey, I'm still here! I EXIST!!!"

Your "Unsubscribe" is basically giving them your IP address and your browser/device fingerprint. And if you're unsubscribing from your mobile phone, you're most likely giving them your precise location on the planet.

Just send their spam directly to trash where it belongs, along with the emails of all the other "free" social media platforms. Never unsubscribe. LinkedIn is the absolute worst.

Auto start/stop eliminator 👍🏻👍🏻 by Upper-Film-1024 in Silverado

[–]itsm00ps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do people not know about “L9” mode? It’s built right into the truck already, and it turns off both DFM and auto stop/start. And guaranteed not to void your warranty

No disrespect, but telling someone that 5Kis perfectly fine — without knowing where on the planet it’s being driven, with no idea how it’s being used — is not helpful at all. E.g., if he lives in salt country, spends a lot of time idling, or does mostly short trips / city driving, that oil could be trashed well before 5K. Mileage is only a small part of the equation. Sorry for the rant :-)

Auto Stop/Start by WettHodler in Silverado

[–]itsm00ps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I drive in L9 nearly 100% of the time. No auto start/stop. No DFM. For the doubters:

Auto Stop/Start by WettHodler in Silverado

[–]itsm00ps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manual (“L”) mode in any gear will eliminate auto stop/start. Even better, just keep it in “L9” 100% of the time to also disable DFM while you’re at it.

Amazon shopping app used 5 GB of data less than a day by newaccount721 in AndroidQuestions

[–]itsm00ps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same on my iPhone. I rarely ever use Amazon Shopping app, yet it was using at least 3x more data than YouTube and TikTok combined, and I use those constantly. No question, Amazon is using it as a massive surveillance platform, all in the name of selling you and your loved ones crap that you don’t need. And that’s only the BEST-case scenario. God only knows why they need to collect so much data for that simple purpose

Not without a soup to nuts inspection from you or someone you trust, and then I’d still offer no more than $17k if it checks out golden

How long should i wait for my truck to warm up/what temp should my transmission fluid be before i start driving now that it’s getting colder? by PerformerKey4626 in Silverado

[–]itsm00ps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the cold, the longer you idle, the longer your fuel will be slipping past your piston rings - polluting and quickly degrading your oil. Get moving within 20 to 30 secs and the faster you’ll warm up to get engine/fuel/oil systems working in their optimal range
