Yeah, my thoughts exactly, to me it is just an excuse for them to blame a problem on and try to get money out of you! I am lucky so far as I haven’t been charged a dime for any service issues I have brought it in for and they have blamed aftermarket on.

Oh for sure user error, the dealer was great and din’t charge me anything because I have been a good customer for years, I just wanted to put it out there more for the freaky things it caused so that if anyone was having stupid issues that showed up for no reason they could check something like that first before taking it in and probably being charged a diagnostics fee at the least.

Couldn’t find a better place to post this, although it might belong in another topic. Just wanted to pass along some info on trouble I had with my ’14 Silverado. All of a sudden I started getting “Service Stabilitrak” messages pop up in my message center in between the tach and speedo. When this happened, there would be a ding, the message would appear and then the steering wheel would jerk uncontrollably and unstoppable force left and right about 25 degrees several times. It happened once while I was parked and had just started the vehicle, then started doing it while I was driving. The end all to having it brought to the dealer for diagnostics was the day I was driving home from work and it did it repeatedly 8- 10 times throughout the 8.5 mile drive home. Called the dealer as it was doing it, and scheduled it in for the next day. After the dealer running diagnostics on it, the entire problem stemmed from the positive battery terminal being loose. Just wanted to post this issue so that if anyone was having freaky issues that come and go concerning the info center and operations of the truck they should check their battery cables. I was told by the dealer to stop adding aftermarket stuff to the truck as the computer systems are so sensitive that any variance in voltage with cause havoc with the function of the truck. I believe the battery terminal issue stemmed from having LED reverse lights installed which I have posted earlier to having issues with those causing the factory reverse lights stop working. Now they are only wired to the battery direct and work via toggle switch…….

Well, I knew i never should have posted that, and that is why I made sure to mention that in no way was I trying to insult you. If you like it that's all that counts. Everybody has different tastes. Personally The first thing I do when I get a new truck is take ALL of the stickers off and de-badge it as well. The Z71 emblem in the grille is enough for me. I know it's a Z71 and 4X4 and don't care if everyone else on the road does!. Sorry if it cam e off the wrong way and I was trying to avoid that in the first place. It's a nice rig and if you like it that's all that counts. Hell, i got ripped for putting Rally Stripes on mine!! As far as the ghetto, I drive through it at least 4 times a day!!! Stay cool, truck looks nice…….. we don't have to disagree….. I'm on your team!!! Cheers!

In my opinion….. no! Truthfully dude, my first impression …and with absolutely NO insult intended… for my taste, it looks ghetto. I do custom graphics and if you want to do something custom hit me up and I will take care of it for you at my cost…CHEAP. ANYTHING you can think of pretty much. You have such a nice ride I hate to see people get that impression. You know, like when you see a car go by that has a crapload of those fake vent add ons stuck all over it that they bought at Wally world!!!

Oh yeah Right on ! I own a screen printing, embroidery, large format digital graphics company and do a lot of custom stuff to my truck. Really turns heads because it si one of a kind or something original I designed. If you ever need any help with anything, hit me up I’ll be glad to help. Check out my build page you can see what i have done. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/159461-chevyrcgs-2014-silverado-lt-double-cab-build/

NIce…. very original….. Like it! Do you do the vinyl graphics ?

It’s a conspiracy to get you to pay for XM / Sirius!

Go into your audio settings and shut off the HD option to stop that. I have the Stubby from Craven speed and it works fine for both regular and HD but I live close to the city and where the radio stations I listen to are located.

Took my truck to the shop that did my Rigid reverse lights because they only worked when I used the bypass switch and not when I put it in reverse. Come to find out that my factory reverse lights are not working as well and this is where the Rigids are tapped into. No power at the reverse lights! Called the dealer to schedule bringing it in to see what's up and just over the phone they asked if I added any after market accessories, ( I know the service manager pretty well and he knew there were add on reverse lights because I just had the truck in for an alignment after installing level kit, wheels and tires). Already over the phone he was trying to blame the aftermarket lights on the cause of the problem. The other issue is several times over the past two weeks when I have put it in reverse I got a green screen from the reverse camera and a message to service reverse camera. I somehow relate the two problems and can't see the Rigids being the cause , but we all know the dealer will find Any way to squeeze every dollar out if you. Will be bringing it in Monday to see what the problem is. Can't wait for this boxing match!

Took truck to speed shop because Rigid reverse lights stopped working. Come to find out my factory reverse lights aren’t working either. Tech that installed them tried to fix for 2 hours and can’t get power to factory reverse lights where the Rigid;s are tapped into. Called rigid and they never heard of this. Called dealer to take it in for service and first thing he asked me is if I have any aftermarket lights……. I can hear it now…… The Rigid’s are the reason the factory lights crapped out. BUt if they have no power to draw from how can they cause the problem??? We will see about this one, but I can tell it’s going to be a boxing match!….. Oh JOY!

I have had this error twice in the last 3 weeks. I had a set of RIGID reverse LED lights installed under the bumper. Ever since the DIC has thrown this error, my Rigid’s don’t work when I shift into reverse as well as the factory reverse lights. Rigid’s work when I use the bypass switch. Tested the Factory reverse lights and there is no power going to them. Just got off the phone with the dealer to bring it in for service Monday 5/19, we will see what becomes of that, but I can already hear them blaming the aftermarket add ons as the problem! Also, my guy at the speed shop tried for 2 hours to resolve the issue but can’t get power to the factory reverse light and that is where the relay for the Rigid’s is tapped into. They called Rigid and they have never heard of this problem!
