Hidden off-road menu for 2015 2016 and 2017 Chevrolet Silverado. I've only confirmed on my 2016 and 2017 4x4 models. For those with Z71 package it should be on by default.

Thanks for showing this. As mentioned below, the manual is as thick as a telephone book and hardly shows any images, and is confusing, so this helps. First thing I am going to do is get rid of that annoying blank screen. I don't even know why someone would want to look at a blank screen. Chevrolet has videos about the dashboard menu, but it pretty much just shows everything without explaining anything....just like most of their videos...all show, no how-to

Thanks so much for that Glenn. Some of these new cars don't get a manual anymore either in the vehicle. Its all on a PDF. Ive got some other fun ones down the road so stay tuned.

At 1:12 the Fuel Economy will give you an instant read out on your fuel usage. It will teach you to drive with a lighter foot and you will surprised how much better your fuel mileage will become. The center infotainment screen is also highly customizable. Everyone would think to look in your owners manual but the very first thing it says is "If your truck is so equipped". Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's there or not. Great video!

I wonder if the new 2018 WT 2500 4x4 truck I"m getting will have the off road menu thing. That would honestly be really helpful when I'm loading my truck camper to know if my wheels are straight or how much they're really turned. But it will also be cool to have the degrees on where the truck is leaning so you can kind of level your truck and ultimately your truck camper while camping. But I don't know if the truck squatting due to the weight will affect that but that can just be kept in mind your back in might naturally be a couple degrees lower.

As an added note, driving up hill, the (Hill assent) message displays, telling me the engine and transmission shifts are being controlled by the OBC.

@ScouserTech4 жыл бұрын
Welcome 🙏 no it shouldn’t but make sure after it’s installed and before you leave there take a photo of course on a level surface at 0° all around and then do the same thing after they install the kit and then compare your numbers if it’s drastically off then obviously there’s a problem with how they installed it but you should be fine
@wolfnightfire20064 жыл бұрын
The system has an advanced Computerized gyroscope technology that has Active level ride positioning sensors there is no need to recalibrate the system because it's done by the onboard computer automatically once the change in ride hight has been detected however Before installation of the new leveling kit make sure to disconnect the negative battery connection this will reset the Computer when the battery is reconnected after the installation it will force the computer to automatically remap the data and recalibrate the system

It’s not good to be in 4wd all the time especially at highway speeds. May be good time to flush your differential after it’s fixed. Before you head in though try this: un hook the battery and leave disconnected for 15 minutes or longer, then hook back up and see if you get same results
