Well, a little update here. the driver's side on my truck stopped working about 3 weeks ago. I haven't taken it to the dealer as I will be getting them to correct a few other issues at the first oil change (right turn signal doesn't shut off and the upper glove box doesn't open). I did get a call yesterday from the dealership about a recall regarding exterior auto lighting. Don't know if this will be the fix or is it just a poorly placed socket that is getting wet and shorting out.

Apple Carplay not working
426ted replied to Christian Mckinney's topic in 2020-2024 Silverado HD & Sierra HD Troubleshooting
I've had issues with my Android phone on my last truck connecting. Bought a higher quality cable and the problem went away. Cheap-o Amazon/gas station/ convenience store cables won't cut it. -
Auto Dimming Mirrors
426ted replied to 426ted's topic in 2020-2024 Silverado HD & Sierra HD Troubleshooting
Thanks. Both are the same as your driver's side. Black as hell. Well, not quite, but pretty dark. -
Hey everyone. I can't seem to figure out how to turn off the auto dimming on the mirrors on my 2024. It was pissing rain the other night and I could see sweet bugger all out of the side mirrors. Had to roll down the window and stick my head out to see where I was going when I was backing up. I did look in the owner's manual as well as the DIC, but didn't see anything. Any advice how to control this feature if possible, and for those with these new trucks, are your mirrors that dark as well?

standard bed floor flatness

My 2024 I just picked up has a hump as well. I assume it is there for some reason. -

Went to a dealer today and he indicated that it could take 6-8 months for an ordered truck to be built. I'm in Canada and they indicated that the dealership allocation is terrible compared to the US; he can only order a few HD/month which is restricted further by color and options. Don't know what the truth is, but I am ready to by a truck and there is sweet F-all to choose from and seems ordering (like I have in the past) is no longer an option. Crazy when a guy is willing to drop $120K (Canadian I know but still) on a truck and can't get what they want.

426ted started following Camshaft Noise?
-
Hey everyone. Had the truck in the shop for a misfire #8 as well as 2 tranny codes that repeat every so often. The last few days (when the misfire code showed) I noticed an odd whistling sound coming from the truck. The GM tech today indicated that he heard the sound as well and mentioned that this is related to imminent camshaft failure. I've never heard such a thing before. So, has anyone else had a cam replaced on these trucks yet. I have 230,000km/140,000 miles on my 6.2. Thanks.

Fun update: They had to replace the lifters on the left side, 1 pushrod, guide and rocker. Changed fluids etc. Bill came in at $3200 ($2500-ish USD) before taxes. Oddly, the truck feels much stronger now so it makes me think that the loss of power/something isn't quite right feeling that I noticed in the late summer may have been related. Who knows. The tech neglected to take pictures of the intake valves as I was curious if I should have installed a catch can years ago. He said that they looked pretty clean with little build up noted. Anyways, happy to have my truck back as it is a little too soon to trade this one in. Cheers.

I haven't been to this site in a bit. The search function used to suck. I didn't even use it, my bad. Maybe I'll try an OBD2 plug in disabler.

Good to know, thanks.

Hey guys. A few lifters failed on the left bank resulting in bent pushrods. I poked around on the site and didn't find much on this issue. I assume that this is not a common issue. Truck is 5.5 years old with 170,000km (105,000 miles) on it. Unfortunately for me, this has led to a costly repair. Anyone else had a similar problem? The truck was not being beat on when this happened and I haven't ever really beat on it hard. I was hoping to make it a few more years before replacing the truck, and after looking online (seems I can't build one w/o heated seats unless its a Denali) I think I may be forced to keep it for a while longer. I know some will scoff at the heated seats, but If I'm spending 70K+ on a truck, it will have the comforts. On the other hand, it will be interesting to see what the buildup is like on the intake valves.

Can't download apps on trucks radio. Am I an idiot??
426ted replied to rah7777777's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
I have Spotify on my phone as well as Waze and numerous other apps. They all appear to be available when I have my S10+ plugged into the truck via usb. I just use Android Auto on my phone when I connect to the truck. -
Good to know guys. I was just curious as I had never seen temps that high when towing in the summer on camping trips. I'll keep an eye on it.
