Thanks BlazerLT. Thats what I figured but I thought I'd double check. I do disagree with one thing you said ... " ... starting it with the AC on is asking alot ...". God bless the wizards at GM. I don't think its too much to ask for a vehicle to handle all elec loads at all time. It's not uncommon for people to start their cars with the radio on, the lights, and the AC or heater or any combination of these. GM should have addressed this in the owners manual. OR they should've given us a space-shuttle type checklist to start the vehicle! first the ignition, then lights, then AC, then set for lift-off!
Seriously though ... enough venting! Haha!
So, why no full elec load at idle. Isn't this when the truck ought to be able to handle its maximum load? when its not driving ... or, are you saying that, in general, we should avoid putting the full elec load on our trucks in general because their not designed for full elec load unless there are increase rpms?

Plus starting it with th AC on is asking a lot.
Leave everything off until you are driving away.
Never load a system a idle.
