Starter was the problem, brushes wore out prematurely, I would disable the auto start on my 2018 With the button every time I drive my truck. I bought the Cobb accesport and used the disable auto start stop feature in the programmer, so no more remembering to turn off with button. I really don’t mind the auto start stop feature but didn’t want to go through not starting up again problem you experienced at a busy intersection. Pretty nerve racking.

Do you know anything about an update for a better idle and a little more power on top end?

Sorry it's all I have and read it in a post a few days ago. I meant to save it but didn't.

Not that I need an update for either but was just curious if you read or know about this update.

No, I am not aware of any software update that was released to for idle or power concerns.

Just thought I would give an update. Since the dealer replaced the starter, everything is working as it should. I even think that the software updates have fixed most of the annoying computer glitches that would show up occasionally.

Remember you can also disable ESS by pulling one plug under the dashboard.

The auto industry didn't push it; government fuel economy standards did. Auto Start/Stop can significantly improve a vehicle's city fuel economy rating, especially with larger engines.
