Just wanted to ask before I dive into an unnecessary rabbit hole. 2014 sierra 5.3 105k Miles I drove an hour stopped and about 45 min later it wouldn't start. The Theft deterrent came up as it does occasionally. I pulled the key and tried to restart like normal except this time it didn't start. I tried to jump it off with no luck so I got a new battery since it seemed it was most likely issue. Now I replaced the battery and still got nothing. I tested the battery distribution block that sits on the battery and one of the 175 amp had no continuity. To get home i moved two cables (I think it was marked #2 & #3)over to the other 175 amp lug. it started up and I got it home but electrically things were not right. no infotainment system no forgotten key in ignition chime and maybe a couple other things I didn't notice. I have to assume I blew the fuse during the battery swap but I figured that once I moved cables to the working 175 amp lug that things would work as expected. I must have another blown fuse some where which surprises me but i guess its possible. can anyone give me a starting point or let me know what lugs/fuse controls what on the electrical system? This image shows dead fuse and maybe one that is suspect Thanks

I just peeled 5% off the doors after driving at night it was to dark to see people and cars. i have decided 15 is the darkest i want to go on the doors and no tint on the very back because it caused and odd reflection and the defroster can be damaged years down the road when removing tint from it. I currently need a peel and restick on one of my cars back glass and all the tint installers said i can get it off the defroster but i wont guarantee all the wires will still function.

just an update from me. I drove the truck all day around town today and only had 1 instance of a harder down shift while turning into a parking lot. i am going out on a limb here but it seems i had the problem after dealer reprogrammed but after driving it all day it seemed to re learn or resolve the issue on its own. if I notice it happening again I will update but it was definitely hitting hard the day i got it back from dealer and not today so.... i'm not sure

I noticed before the post. I drove the truck 1000k interstate so that doesnt count then i drove the truck maybe 4 times and a total of about 200 miles. and did not notice the hard shift until after i had the recalls done. maybe i just didn't notice them , maybe that was the first time it happened its just hard to say with out having more time behind the wheel.

I have only owned 14 slt about 3 weeks I drove about 11 hours then off and on for a day or two and never noticed harsh downshift until today. The last time I had it out was to do some reprogramming for recalls. the first thing that came to mind was "what did they do during reprogram". it may just be a coincidence...

Does anyone know what tint percentage of back windows of a crew cab are from the factory? i searched forum and didn't see it. tia found this in another post "On my '14 the rear doors were 18% and the back glass 23%, per the labels/stickers."

not stealing the thread and im to new to even know what im talking about but i thought if you had the 8 inch with intellilink you could connect your android phone to it for navigation my understanding besides all the good and bad info i have seen 1. the turn by turn on star sucks no map and a monthly fee 2. the normal nav with maps and stuff is a different animal that has a module installed from the factory or after by the owner with a reprogram of the truck to be able to use the module sadly i don't even know what i have and wont know until next wed http://gm.oemdtc.com/3959/upgrading-an-io5-non-navigation-radio-to-an-io6-navigation-radio-2014-2015-chevrolet-silverado-gmc-sierra what he said /\
