Only comment I will make is about the fuel tank relearn, I installed the Titan 60 gallon tank on my 22 and also have an Edge CTS3 which I use for extra info on truck. The stock fuel gague does not register close to what the Edge is seeing, but the DTE is sometimes way off, but you get to realize that the last tank I was unloaded and not Im pulling a trailer its going to go down and after a little bit the computer recalculates and corrects the DTE.

When I first installed my Titan 60 gallon tank in my 2022 GMC DuraMax the distance to empty would climb as I drove? It is imo based on the current MPG the truck is showing. Now after 7 months of use it does not seem to be doing this, I have a Edge CTS3 and chose fuel level as one of my gagues and the gaguge on the truck and it match pertty close.

Dead battery...2020 L5P
doverarjim replied to Revspan's topic in 2020-2024 Silverado HD & Sierra HD Troubleshooting
Welcome to my world!!!! I've got a 2019 3500 SLT, truck has been perfect except for not knowing if it will start. GM has replaced 3 thats Three sets of batteries in it. Last set took 6 days until it had to be jumped. This has been going on for me about 2 years now. Dealer can't spend the time to find the problem, because it does not happen all the time, truck has spent 10 days or more at dealer over this. Got some information about setting it into shipping mode was told that only imporant running stuff will be powered up, would not start next morning!!! Dealer said EMF's could be problem so parked in the middle of 40 acres with nothing with in 400 feet of truck still would not start. I have a 2022 on order now!!!! -
Unicorn 2500 Chevy
doverarjim replied to Torso Jenkins's topic in Gen III and IV Small Block & Drivetrain
Is it the new body style for 99? I had a 99 with the 6L motor and I do remember looking for parts one time and seeing that they had the 5.3 or 6.0 but I could not figure out why, unless it was to help corprate fuel numbers. -
Don't rag on the powerglide!!! A friend of mine had a 64 Nova with a worked on 235 ci and powerglide ran mid 11's with it. It was a 4bbl Holley carbed 9,000 rpm monster that ran a highly modified torque converter with a 6500 stall in it. It was a fun car to work on most of the internal parts were small block parts so we always had a few spare parts..

Random no start 2019 Duramax
doverarjim replied to doverarjim's topic in 2015-2019 Silverado & Sierra HD Troubleshooting
I finally think the problem is fixes!!!! Two weeks ago, I noticed a strange smell in the cab, I looked around and saw a cattle feed lot and thought oh thats the smell. I went on down the road and stopped to shop at a Home Depot and I noticed the smell outside the truck and no feed lot. Couple days later drove the truck and had to walk in front of it and noticed smoke coming from underneath the hood, popped the hood and the battery was smoking!!!! Replaced both battries again ( This time on GM's dime) and it has started everytime I wanted it to!!! -
Do you like calling attention to your self? That's all the the loud exhaust does for you, tires squeal cops hear you guess who gets stopped? You can be loud but not out of line, most of the Mustangs are just loud they don't sound good just loud. Back in the day I had a pretty good old Chevelle, 396 4 speed that had been worked on, so it was a true 10 second quarter mile car. I kept the stock exhaust on it along with the hubcaps so it was a total sleeper to anyone who did not know me, I looked for the loud cars and trucks because most of them could not get out of there own way. Just an old guy digging up the past, my $0.02 worth.

I have not had any problems but I have read about people having issues with the Platinum stuff in the 19-21 trucks, so I would stay away from it for right now. I also try to only use the truck stop stuff had 160,000 miles on my 11 truck and now have 83,000 on this 19 truck and can say I've only bought 3 jugs of def all the rest that I have used has been bulk at truck stops.

This issue is 5 months on going, random nonstart, will just click like dead batteries. Batteries were replaced in January, dealer Tech first thougt that the air ride system was causing the problem since it is one of the 2 non stock items on my truck, so we disconnected it from battery and it would start, so I did that everytime I shut the truck off and unpluged my Edge CTS this worked for about 3 days before it would not start again ? At times different things will not trun on when I start the truck my radio presets will disappear, the truck will say that one or more of my turn signal bulbs are out (I'll check and they are both working but they will flash fast) the parking sensors may turn themselfs off, or the light sensor on the dash my turn on red like the older trucks did with the security feature, or like it did today the radio will not play? In the past when I had to use the jump box to start it my presets would be gone but I could manually set the radio and it would play, today not a sound one from radio feature, the seat belt chime works the turn signals click, I can use my blue tooth phone and play music from my phone, and use apps off my phone both wired and not? SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO KNOW SOMETHIN???? Thanks

Random no start 2019 Duramax
doverarjim replied to doverarjim's topic in 2015-2019 Silverado & Sierra HD Troubleshooting
Sorry that it has been so long to reply to this, both batteries were replaced in January. The dealer kept it for 4 days and could not find the problem. They said it was the air ride drawing the battery down, so every night I would disconnect it from the battery and also unplug my Edge CTS and for about a week it started every time and then one day when I needed to leave work early with them disconnected it would not start. This has been going on for 5 months now with the random not starting I have a jump box that will start the truck every time. The latest now working feature is the light sensor on the dash was lit up red!!! And today even when it was jump started I would have to tune the radio, the presets would not work but now the radio is totally quite, with the volume turned all the way up it has no static? I can use apps and it will play, the turn signals click the seat belt alarm goes off, I can blue tooth my phone and it plays? I'm at a loss and the Tech can only say "I've never seen this before" MAY DAY MAYDAT!!!! -
Long story but when I bought my '19 truck I drove 500 miles to get it, when I saw it the dealer had added Ranch Hand bumpers front and rear from the Wednesday when I called about the truck until I got there at 7:00 am on Friday, I found salesman that I had been talking to, he said he didn't know they were going to add the $1600 bumpers until he saw them on it, I told him sorry but I don't like them and there is another identical truck 800 miles away that I was going to go buy!!! He talked me into staying while they checked for the stock bumpers and to see how long it would take to put them back on. Owner of dealer ship came by and started talking to me about what I wanted, I told him stock bumpers he went away came back in about 10 minutes said he would give me the Ranch Hand bumpers AND the stock bumpers that I could put on if I wanted to. Made sure they took that item back off of the sales agreement and then we went to work to make a deal.
