picked up a suburban and it has the auto stop/start function at traffic lights/stop signs. I presume for fuel efficiency to meet certain standards. what does Texags Automotive board think? seems like it would wear the engine.

Range Technology has a wide product array to help with auto start/stop and DFM for your Suburban. I have one for my 2019 Silverado.

I disable it each time I start my truck. It has become a mindless task so no big deal for me to do it.

105,000 on my Sierra, never turn it off, rarely notice when it shuts off, never had a problem.

I don't know what makes me more angry. The auto shut down or the gas can nozzles that spill everywhere. Is there anything the government can't F up?

It's been in gas powered golf carts forever. It will wear battery, starter, alternators and belts but I don't think it will wear an engine anymore than running like normal.

No. .gov is the opposite of King Midas. Centralized govt will always result in mass unintended consequences.

There used to be a more permanent fix like pulling the tow package fuse. You may look up that option. May have changed.

I bought one from the first link and it's been flawless for the first few months.

Gas can nozzles by a landslide. I can bypass the auto start easier than I can get a a good gas can
