Sometime I will try the settings under my advanced menu and toggle it off to see if that makes a difference. But normally I am not that patient to figure it out. Figured someone would pipe up and say they knew all about this and why was I the last one to figure it out.

That's a nice setup!

Read though this thread. Great tips. Hopefully this hasn't been mentioned yet, but I know how miserable the 302a xlt guys are with their stereos. I have the Kicker powerstage sitting in my garage, but haven't had time to install it. In the mean time, I have figured out if you go into sound settings and switch the sound preference to driver and move treble up 2 clicks, leave mids in the middle and move bass to 1 below full. Makes at least a 25 percent improvement in volume and sound.

Not sure if this has been answered or not, but I was told that if the battery in your remote fob dies on a push to start truck it won't detect your fob. So in order to start your truck you place your fob in that little tray under the mat and it will be able to read the fob and start the truck

And if you hide your spare fob there anyone can start your truck.. So be nice and leave the truck unlocked so they don't have their new to them truck with a broken window or punched out door handle.

Maybe everyone knew but I didn't realize it until after I was stuck in a snowbank....


If you pull the 4wd shifter out then you lock your differentials......

Have a friend at work with a 2013 - He didn't know this either.
