    ouch to both. $650 for hooking up their computer and hitting a "reset adapts" button is ridiculous. and I would want to know why they think a new transmission is required besides the manager wanting a bigger bonus this quarter.

    google "gm savi scan"

    4 1 post posters, and only 1 of them returned to the site after posting, none have returned to the site after 2023, so you aren't going to get a response from any of them.

    have you considered asking a dealer these questions?

    Hasn't come up in the 3 gm forums I follow. And only gm knows the frequency of failure of that part. LMG, you want a recall so it's replaced for free...

    get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

    ouch. that is SUCH a ripoff, as the blank key w chip retails for under $20... It would be somewhat reasonable if you don't have any key for the truck, so they need to program the new key as the master key for the truck, but somehow I think they would charge extra for this...

    I would check if it's also getting ground (one of the other pins).
  9. davester
    Did you do a voltage check of either battery? old could be bad or discharged, new might not be fully charged.

    Note, this can void your whole warranty, if you don't get the speedo/odometer calibrated for it, as your mileage will be off.

    It may or may not help with keeping things working, but even if it doesn't help, testing that it does work when you don't need it, makes it more likely it will work when you do need it, and/or you can fix the problem so it works when needed.

    read what the codes are?

    4+ year old thread, and George hasn't returned to the site around that time. you aren't going to get a response from that user.

    probably somewhere on gmupfitter.com and there are other considerations, like occupant/weight sensors, seat belt connections, airbag locations stuff like that to consider...

    would not expect gm to allow upgrading the truck's software to enable the oem setup to work. gm really wants you to buy the truck w all the options, when it's built. Sometimes, they do have the programming in the truck and it just takes installing the hardware, and for some things, they do allow programming changes (like for side mirror changes).

    maybe just plug the vacuum line to the booster, to rule out that path as being the cause of the rpm change?

    The filter under the OPS is for engines with AFM, which didn't start for trucks until 07.5 I think around '02/'03, when GM rejigged the computers and wiring, they also moved to a multi-pin OPS, but still didn't have the filter under it.

    Because everyone hates them. They have all the downsides of a truck, combined with the downsides of a 'burb, and then add in a hole in the roof.
  19. davester
    maybe post a pic showing the results of the alignment, someone might see why?
  20. davester
    update your account to include the make/model/year/engine/trim level of your vehicle. Then check all your fuses and that everything is plugged in around your doors.
  21. davester
    charm.li (website) has the vehicle-specific diagnostic procedure for that code, you can use to find what the cause of it is.
  22. davester
    google after measuring the dimensions of those spots?
  23. davester
    have you gone through the owners manual for how it's supposed to work? that it goes off after 10 minutes indicates the bulb itself is at least partially workiung correctly. it's exact operation depends on which button you use to turn it on/off, doors being unlocked/locked/opened/closed, when the ignition key was turned on/off...

    100k is not high mileage, especially if it's 5 years old...
