Makes sense. Matches up with what I found checking my cord with a DVM . Also makes sense with the issue some had with 3.0L's that were plugged in above 0*F. I'd still like to know if the got the revision for the 3.0L done, if it gets updated to early production 3.0L's and if/when a production change was implemented.

Aero shutters and diesel winter cover
redwngr replied to CRApex's topic in 2020-2026 Silverado HD & Sierra HD
I thought the shutters were only on the 1500's? Did they add them to the HD's? Trucks used daily, live outside, I don't use block heater, and somewhere around here there are several winter fronts still sealed in the plastic they came in. I'm finding that in (+ or -) single digit (F) temps the 6.6 dmax's warmed up quite a bit faster than this 3.0L. 6.6L elevated idle also warms the transmission much more that what I'm seeing on the 3.0L -
If you want to check for it, the block heater RPO code is K05. It is standard with the LM2, and optional with others. (same with the 6.6L dmax on HD) afaik, the only options that are provided depending on delivery locations are the winterfront / cover for the 6.6L dmax and the front license plate mounting for both LD's and HD's

Windshield Camera fogging up in the cold
redwngr replied to Juggsauce's topic in Troubleshooting, Warranty & Recalls
I've had zero issues with mine. I use adaptive cruise everytime I'm in it. HVAC left in auto almost always. -
Tested warm it checks out the same as a 'normal' extension cord. If it has a thermostat, it doesn't break the circuit when it's warm. Picture is distorted for some reason. (stretched L/R)

No rear cup holders in 2021 2500 LT???
redwngr replied to ArkChevy's topic in 2020-2026 Silverado HD & Sierra HD
Good to know! As indicated, I only checked the 2021 2500's -
Any idea how the thermostat works? I got curious and checked the cord for mine. It had been at 50F ambient. I brought it to warmer area and ohmmeter test indicates each socket on female end is connected to one blade (and open to the others) on the male end. I would have guessed if it had a thermostat that at least one circuit would be check as an open, and/or others combos might show resistance indicating a load rather than as an open. Maybe different cords depending on delivery locations?

The techlink article has already been posted -- and it's possible that the programming solution is now available. FWIW. Finally got some colder weather 'here'. We've had lots in the upper teens. but last night it was low single digits by 11pm. It had climbed to about 8F by the time I decided to see how it would start this am without the block heater - - and as expected (based on years of starting the 6.6L diesel in similar temps, without use of the block heater) it fired right up with none of the hesitation or rough running that older diesels had a reputation for having. Round about way of saying that in the low 30's you won't need the block heater for a dmax.

diesel in a 6.0l vortec now it wont start
redwngr replied to jjordan83's topic in Troubleshooting & Recalls
It happens. Station in British Columbia. Fuel tanker driver dropped on compartment of diesel into the underground gas tank, and one compartment of gasoline into the underground diesel tank. Station sold fuel for about 4 hours before the problem was identified. Probably not quite as severe as filling an empty vehicle tank with the wrong fuel, but another example that it's not always the vehicle owner that causes the mixup. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/osoyoos-gas-station-diesel-gasoline-car-repairs-1.5901792 British Columbia B.C. gas station owner comes clean about accidentally selling diesel-gas mixture He's covering repair costs for motorists who filled their tanks with damaging blend in Osoyoos · CBC News · Posted: Feb 04, 2021 6:05 PM PT | Last Updated: February 4 An estimated 4,500 litres of mixed gasoline and diesel fuel was sold at the Osoyoos Shell station in January before the error was discovered, according to owner Gagandeep Singh Atwal. (Jonathan Hayward/Canadian Press) An Osoyoos, B.C., gas station owner is coming clean about a mistake that created a mixture of diesel fuel and gasoline in the station's tanks and was sold to customers for a period of about four hours last month. On Wednesday, Gagandeep Singh Atwal, co-owner of the Shell station in Osoyoos, wrote on a local Facebook page about the mix-up, which happened on the afternoon of Jan. 30. "The fuel delivery driver erroneously dumped one compartment of regular gas in the diesel tank and one compartment of diesel in the regular gas tank," Atwal wrote. "We stopped selling both regular gas and diesel to customers when we got to know about the driver's error." Motorists who filled up with either regular gasoline or diesel between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. may have been affected by the fuel mix-up, he wrote, explaining that two customers had already been identified and reimbursed for repairs to their vehicles. 'Purely human error' "This is purely a human error made by the delivery driver," he wrote. "We are committed to stand by our customers and will take care of their repair costs incurred due to this error." Gas station's fuel mix-up proving costly for customers In an interview with CBC News, Atwal estimated 4,500 litres of mixed fuel was sold before he became aware of the situation and shut down the pumps. Dozens to more than 100 motorists may have filled their tanks with the diesel-gasoline mixture, he said. Since he wrote the post, Atwal said more than a dozen other motorists have contacted him. "There are lots of invoices that have shown up," he said. "We are paying them out of our pocket and then we will deal with the insurance at our end." More than 100 damage claims filed to ICBC after maintenance mishap turns road into sticky mess Repair costs to drain fuel mixture One of the motorists who filled up with the fuel mixture showed up at Osoyoos Mechanics after their vehicle broke down, according to shop owner Lukas Gedminas. His mechanic had to remove the fuel tank and the fuel pump in order to siphon the fuel mixture out of the tank and worked on the car for more than two and a half hours to get it running again, he said. "The fuel pump should be alright," Gedminas said. "The catalytic converter will probably be the main concern. Potentially, it could plug up prematurely," he said. Worse, Gedminas said, is putting gasoline in a diesel engine. "Gasoline is somewhat abrasive, so that would just not work well with any diesel engine parts, especially injectors." 'People have been really supportive' Gedmisas praised the gas station for taking responsibility for the mistake. And he wasn't the only one. By Thursday afternoon more than 100 people had commented on Atwal's social media post with the vast majority commending the gas station for being forthcoming about the situation and promising to do right by his customers. B.C. court tells insurance corporation to keep paying storage for acid damaged vehicles Atwal said the positive response to the serious fuel mix-up has been surprising. "I was thinking people were going to shout at us [or] we were going to have rude customers coming into our gas station," he said. "People have been really supportive." -
Does it just clamp on the flange of the fender? Fold over part make it so it can't move outward (the edge of the fold-over pushes in the inside of the fender. hidden by the flange, while the portion on the outside of the fender keeps the guard from moving inboard. No-drill so not adding a new location for rust to start in visible location.

Oil Filter 2.7L L4 55495105 PF66 4.3L V6 12690385 PF63E 5.3L V8 12690385 PF63E 6.2L V8 12690385 PF63E 3.0L I6 55495105 PF66 https://gm-techlink.com/?p=7627 Spin-On Oil Filter Replacement April 5, 2017 The correct match of oil filter to engine application is more important now than ever with the tight tolerances, two stage oil pumps and high flow lubrication requirements of today’s modern engines. Beginning in 2012, oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump output pressure, which means that the oil pump does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions. To meet these new engine operating requirements, the oil filter specifications of production oil filters and service oil filters have been improved. If a replacement oil filter with an internal bypass valve opening pressure specification of 15 PSI (100 kPa) or less is used, debris could circulate in the engine and cause damage to bearings and other tight tolerances areas, and eventually lead to premature engine failure. PF64 and PF63 Filters The PF64 and PF63 (Fig. 20) filters are commonly confused as an ACDelco PF48 and/or PF48E filter because both oil filters have the same appearance and oil can size. However, these oil filters are not the same and have different internal bypass valve opening pressure specifications. The PF48/PF48E has a pressure specification of 15 PSI (100 kPa) while the PF64/PF63E has a pressure specification of 22 PSI (150 kPa). Fig. 20 Refer to the Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine the proper part numbers for a replacement oil filter. If an aftermarket filter is used, it must have an internal bypass valve opening pressure specification, element integrity, filtration performance, media particle trap specification and burst strength that is equivalent to the original production oil filter.

Inventory and ordering lead times
redwngr replied to Rozz522's topic in 2020-2026 Silverado HD & Sierra HD
TPW is also always shown as the Monday of the week. If the behind the scenes schedule is for it to be build early in the week, it probably happens. If the behind the scenes is for OT build on Saturday, it might slip to the next week. VIN isn't issued until there is a vehicle to stick it to. (iirc, there are federal regs regarding creation/issuing of the 'production sequence number' ) -
11.10.1 Sensitivity Level The iDash 1.8's automatic wakeup uses battery voltage drop when cranking the vehicle. The wake-up sensitivity level allows you to adjust the iDash 1.8's sensitivity to the voltage drop. Some vehicles have greater voltage drops than others and would need to set the sensitivity to the low setting. If the gauge is interfering with OnStar or other similar services, decrease the sensitivity one level lower. To adjust the wake-up sensitivity level: 1. Select "Settings" from the main "MENU." 2. Select "Wake-up Sensitivity Level." 3. Select the desired sensitivity level ("Sensitivity Level: Low", "...Medium", "...High"). If unsure, set to "Sensitivity Level: Low" and then: A. Turn off your vehicle and wait for the iDash to go to Sleep Mode. B. Restart your vehicle and the iDash should start within 10 seconds after startup. C. If it does not automatically wake-up, press any button to wake. Increase sensitivity level by one and repeat the process. 11.10.2 Start/Stop For vehicles with engine start/stop functionality: When enabled, the iDash 1.8 will not shut off when RPM drops below 600 rpm. Instead, the vehicle will check for vehicle communication to the ECU to determine if the vehicle is shut off. It will also take longer for the iDash 1.8 to go into sleep mode. To enable or disable "StartStop": 1. Select "Settings" from the main "MENU." 2. Select "Wake-up Sensitivity Level." 3. Select "Start-Stop:" to "Enable" or "Disable" this feature. 4. Return to the Gauge Screen when finished.

For those considering 4wd for the first time be aware that the shifts between 2wd, 4HI and 4auto can be made at any normal driving speed. Shifting into or out of 4LO requires that speed be 3mph or less (moving a little is better than stationary) and the transmission must be in neutral. 4LO has it's place, but it is much less convenient to activate.
