Second System Update this week.

The phone app will show update install history and a brief description of what it was for. -
Retirement truck is here
redwngr replied to Fishfighter's topic in 2020-2026 Silverado HD & Sierra HD
Fwiw, it Oshawa is where the assembly plant is... not Ottawa. Anyways congrats on the retirement and congrats on the truck! -
And there is always the chance it was a dealer trade which was originally shipped to another dealer. It would have got the door sticker when it went down the line, but it could have sat outside at the assembly plant for an extended amount of time before it was shipped. Curious if there is there a reason for wanting to know, other knowing it was sitting during price negotiating?

2022+ silverado/sierra transmission temp
redwngr replied to kickass audio's topic in 2019-2026 Silverado 1500 & Sierra 1500
I keep reading that, but my '21 LM2 always stabilized in the 180-190 range, my '23 LZO always stabilizes in the about 190-200. Ambient doesn't matter so they must somehow be controlled to those temperature ranges. Perhaps the temp is different on the 3.0 versions of the speeds? (MCQ and MQB vs MHS, MNT and MQE) EDIT: I see this was addressed in posts after the one I quoted... -
is using a floor jack at an angle safe?
redwngr replied to Interleukin6's topic in 2019-2026 Silverado 1500 & Sierra 1500
As long as the wheels are on the floor and the lift pad is on a surface of the vehicle that is parallel to the floor it it won't matter about the angle to the vehicle. Problems can occur if the jack is lifting using just an edge of the lift pad -- which can happen if trying to lift on a part of the vehicle that is not level with the floor (wheels of the lift). Jack is will be easier to manage with the full length of the handle. 6 ton stands seems excessive (and will be heavier to handle than necessary) unless they are also being used for anyother purpose besides rotating tires on a pickup -
Did you try re-booting the phone and/or checking for an update for the phone app?

2023 silverado rattle in rear
redwngr replied to Lawrence king's topic in Troubleshooting, Warranty & Recalls
Could be either. Could be something else. Jarring ride on a potholed surface can make a lot of unexpected things rattle that wouldn't other wise be making any sound. I just mentioned tailgate because 'back in the day' it wasn't unusual for one to be loose enough to rattle. -
2023 silverado rattle in rear
redwngr replied to Lawrence king's topic in Troubleshooting, Warranty & Recalls
Is tailgate adjusted so it can move a little when it is closed? -
Loose connection can cause intermittent fault. Connector not fully snapped together. Pin not fully seated in connector. 'Cold' solder joint

Upfitter docs have some more info. Looks like 40 minutes with fob in truck and 20 minutes if fob taken away Service mode in the OM seems similar to Run Mode in the Upfitter docs. From 2023 1500 upfiitter docs: Push Button Start The ignition mode switch has 2 LEDs that indicate the vehicle power mode Amber for Accessory Mode and Green for Run or Start/Propulsion Modes. When the vehicle is in the OFF mode, both LED’s will be OFF. Momentarily pressing the S38 On/Off Vehicle Switch button once, brake pedal not applied, the vehicle will enter into the Accessory Mode and the Amber LED will illuminate. The Accessory Mode will timeout after approximately 5 min to help reduce battery drain. With the ignition OFF, brake pedal not pressed, then pressing and holding the S38 On/Off Vehicle Switch for 5 s will place the vehicle in Run Mode (Ignition ON without the Propulsion Mode Active). The vehicle will stay powered up for approximately 40 minutes if the transmitter is in range, or 20 minutes if the transmitter is out of range, and the Green LED will illuminate. With the ignition OFF brake pedal pressed, then press and release the iS38 On/Off Vehicle Switch, the vehicle will enter Start/Propulsion Mode and the Green LED will illuminate, the engine will crank and the engine will be running for Internal combustion engines (ICE), or Propulsion mode will go Active on Electric Vehicles (EV). The Propulsion Mode will timeout after approximately 30 minutes if the transmitter is in range, or 15 minutes if the transmitter is out of range. The timer will stop when the vehicle is shifted out of PARK or the brake pedal is pressed and released, the timer will reset after the vehicle is placed back in PARK with the Propulsion Mode Active. Both LED’s have the voltage supplied from the body control module (BCM). The ignition mode switch sends the ignition mode switch status to the passive entry passive start module (PEPS) and to the BCM. The PEPS module sends a redundant signal to the BCM with the ignition mode switch status

There is an 'Accessory Mode and a Service Mode. Service mode puts power to more items and does not have the five minute timer. Accessory Mode (Amber Indicator Light) : This mode allows some electrical accessories to be used when the engine is off. With the vehicle off, pressing the ENGINE START/STOP button one time without the brake pedal applied will place the vehicle in accessory mode. The vehicle will switch from accessory mode to off after five minutes to prevent battery rundown. Service Mode This power mode is available for service and diagnostics, and to verify the proper operation of the malfunction indicator lamp as may be required for emission inspection purposes. With the vehicle off, and the brake pedal not applied, pressing and holding the ENGINE START/STOP button for more than five seconds will place the vehicle in Service Mode. The instruments and audio systems will operate as they do when the vehicle is on, but the vehicle will not be able to be driven. The engine will not start in Service Mode. Press the ENGINE START/STOP button again to turn the vehicle off.

What Engine You Chose and why VOTE
redwngr replied to Big_Kahuna's topic in Engines & Drivetrain (V8, Duramax, TurboMax)
Everybody's want's, need's and budget are different. There is a reason why GM offers 4 powerplants in the 1500's. -
Home made wood ramps
redwngr replied to Interleukin6's topic in 2019-2026 Silverado 1500 & Sierra 1500
Bricks and concrete blocks can decide to 'crumble' or crush. They are not a substitute for jack stands or solid hardwood blocking. -
Perhaps the 'refresh' is delayed? I figured the reveal would be at the Detroit auto show this month. This showed up in order guide for Yukon XL/Denali (there is still no info on the Chev SUV's.) Maybe this is all a leak to mislead? (of course the pics in article are the colour that is no longer available...) Also 2024 GMC Yukon Drops Redwood Metallic Paint (gmauthority.com) 2024 GMC Yukon Drops Redwood Metallic Paint 4 BY JONATHAN LOPEZ — SEP 8, 2023 Sponsored Links The 2024 GMC Yukon introduces only a few small updates compared to the preceding 2023 model year, including a slightly revised paint options list. More specifically, the 2024 GMC Yukon will no longer offer Redwood Metallic paint. Discontinuation of Redwood Metallic paint is the only paint color change for the 2024 model year, and no new paint options will be offered. Redwood Metallic paint is tagged with paint code G48, and was initially offered for the 2022 model year as an extra-cost option for $495. Redwood Metallic was also available in combination with all five interior colorways. The Redwood Metallic paint option was offered for the 2023 model year as well, once again for an extra $495. However, as GM Authority covered previously, the last order cycle for a 2023 GMC Yukon or Yukon XL in Redwood Metallic paint started August 3rd, 2023. Redwood Metallic will be built out after the week of September 18th. The 2024 GMC Yukon was originally expected to debut a mid-cycle enhancement (alternatively known as a refresh) for the full-size SUV nameplate, but new information later came to light which indicated that the refresh would in fact debut for the 2025 model year, if not later. With the refreshed GMC Yukon debuting later than originally expected, the 2024 GMC Yukon will once again offer 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine as optional, rather than the 3.0L I6 LZ0 turbodiesel Duramax engine expected originally. The 3.0L I6 LZ0 was expected to replace the 3.0L I6 LM2 diesel engine offered currently, with the former producing 10 percent more power (305 horsepower at 3,750 rpm) and 7.6 percent more torque (495 pound-feet of torque) compared to the LM2. As a reminder, the GMC Yukon rides on the GM T1 platform and is produced at the GM Arlington plant in Texas. When it does debut, the refreshed GMC Yukon will introduce new exterior styling, an overhauled cabin, new tech features, and more.

Second System Update this week.
redwngr replied to MTY55's topic in 2019-2026 Silverado 1500 & Sierra 1500
I installed that one on 31 Aug 2023 Didn't have the tire pressure thing with mine. Truck has had 4 updates. Two updates on 31 Aug, One on Aug 25 One on Aug 21 -
I agree with Jus Cruisin What are you wanting to tow? Which engine an box are you considering? Presumably the rating question is because proposed trailer is fairly large or heavy. For 2024 models...(but '23's likely the same) 1500 Denali's can't get max tow (NHT) 1500 Denali's can't get Z71 or X31 They can be short box or standard box. If you're thinking Carbonpro box, they are only available as shortbox. Payload is GVWR minus weight of truck, so payload changes with options installed. Engine choice will change weight so also payload. 'Regular' Denali can be 5.3, 6.2 or 3.0. Ultimate can be 6.2 or 3.0. Mines a '23, 3.0, 4wd, standard (6'6') box, 275/60R20 From labels: GVWR 7200 GCWR 15000 RGAWR 3800 FGAWR 3800 Curb weight 5814 Max Payload 1386 (1386 is listed on label -- but it's also GVWR - Curb weight) SAE J2807 trailer weight rating (TWR) for vehicle configuration: Conv trailer -TWR 8700 - Tongue 870 Gooseneck trailer - TWR 6000 -max tongue 900

Home made wood ramps
redwngr replied to Interleukin6's topic in 2019-2026 Silverado 1500 & Sierra 1500
When I was using wooden ramps they were similar to these. The steps on mine were shorter -- but longer steps should let the ramps work for vehicles that have lower approach heights. I did NOT bevel the ends of each board like these (and they worked fine without the bevel) Zero concern about strength since the boards are flat on top of each other. I'd get a hydraulic floor jack and jack stands instead of a bottle jack for the CR-V. Might be able to find one that will lift the truck too -- and then lower truck onto jack stands before getting under it. Ramps can be a nuisance to crawl around gain access under the truck. If you want to do tire rotation at oil change time ramps aren't gonna work. -
GMC App - Tire Pressure issue
redwngr replied to ddc1279's topic in Troubleshooting, Warranty & Recalls
Decided to look at mine. Truck has had four (yes install history show 4 updates in the last 2 weeks) OTA's in the last 2 weeks (but not N23-241272) Air pressure is fine on both vehicles that are connected to the app. -
Sounds like the camper plug might be wired wrong. I'd still start by checking the truck. Curt and others sell reasonably priced 'test plugs'. Autosupply and truck accessory retailers can help you out. If you like Curt's stuff, there website can help locate a seller. Electrical Testers - Towing Electrical - CURT Manufacturing (curtmfg.com)

GMC App - Tire Pressure issue
redwngr replied to ddc1279's topic in Troubleshooting, Warranty & Recalls
Talking about this on other forums too... -
I don't know the spec for the outlets in truck. My S22 Samsung has 3 wired charging modes that it calls regular, fast and superfast. I have then all enabled. It will indicate the charge mode when a cable is connected. Phone was released early 2022. Improved charge speed was one of the features of this model. As indicated by others, the charge rate depends on charge source and on cable used. The block that came with it has both A and C outlets. A is labelled 15W C is labelled 35W Using the A outlet it charges uses 'fast' charge. Using the C outlet is uses superfast 'superfast' charge. Using the A cable and an old block from a Blackberry it uses 'regular' charging Using the A cable and an LG block labelled 'fast charging' and the phone indicates it is in 'fast charge' mode. In truck, using the A cable it uses 'regular' charging. In the truck I always use a C cable. The phone always charges using 'superfast' charge mode. Superfast wasn't available my previous phone. But Samsung increases the possible charging rates for this 2022 phone release. I used this phone (released in 2022 in my 2021 truck. and don't recall what mode(s) it charge in. GM is known for improving features with new model years. Perhaps not so good at guessing what charge rates / features the phone industry will adopt in the future?
