  1. Contact GM customer service, explain your problem, have a written quote available to either fax or email. Have the VIN number on hand as well. Ask directly for some type of relief on the cost. Even mention a replacement engine. I know it has worked before for some folks.
  2. As was said earlier, tanks have a built in reserve based on tank size and vehicle model. The milage to empty is subjective, based on current speed and conditions. If you're driving 70 it's going to drop faster than driving 50. I ran my previous truck with the 5.3 empty just to check the stats. the milage to empty went down pretty much based on my speed. I put 2 gallons from a gas can in to get to the station. The pump cut off at 22.6 gallons.
  3. Got the P2002 code and CEL on my 23 Sierra 3.0 I recently found out the CEL is probably the result of the recent over the air update. GM released a TSB.
  4. So my 2023 Sierra 3.0 CEL came on. I took it to O'Reilly's for an ODB2 check. Came up P2002. I found out the CEL was a result of the recent over the air software update. GM released a TSB on resetting the CEL and clearing the code.
  5. Anyone having issues with wipers activating when using the turn signal?
  6. I have the 2023 3.0 baby diesel and haven't had any issues though I've only towed 10,000 Gross. My 2019 Sierra with the 5.3 and 8 speed pulled ok, but mileage and torque sucked. Plus the transmission was crap. I went with the diesel to try something new. I'm satisfied with it. Now if the price of diesel would come down. My neighbor has a 2024 Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 and swears by it. He tows a landscape trailer everyday with two zero turn commercial mowers two push mowers plush other equipment. He does say the gas mileage isn't great but has had no issues. Another friend has a 2023 2500 with the 6.2. He runs a transport business hauling small loads on a twin axle heavy trailer. He has had some engine problems but nothing serious. He is considering going to a 2500 diesel for better mileage and higher torque. Depending on frequency, weight and terrain, I wouldn't have any problem with the baby diesel and max tow kit. Keep in mind, the max payload is 2400lbs. Gross is around 13,000.
  7. Mine has been run in Normal mode since I got it. As far as the transfer case, 2high all the time. I did use 4 low one time pulling a tractor out of mud up to the frame. Didn't even breath hard. Mine has the baby diesel.
  8. Anyone else having problems with SIRIUS cutting in and out?? Usually after starting the truck, it comes on fine. After just a few minutes it will cut out then come back on. This happens at least three times before it's stable. I called SIRIUS and of course it's nothing on their end. There's nothing blocking the signal either.
  9. press and hold the cruise button on the steering wheel. That's the left button. If you have adaptive cruise it will show a car symbol above the cruise symbol at the top of the DIC.
  10. My heart goes out to you and all the others in WNC. I'm here in Goldsboro. I have a friend in South Carolina and he took a big hit as well. It's going to be a long recovery process.
  11. If I'm not mistaken, that sound system should have 7 Bose speakers. I have not heard of any Bose system having standard factory speakers. Was it replaced at a GM body shop with factory parts?
  12. Got an e mail from GM stating my 2023 Sierra needs a software update that can only be done by the dealer. The claim is it will update the infotainment features and enhance performance. I've heard one hour to 4 hours for the update. Anyone else have this done and how long it took?
  13. Eastern NC. Goldsboro. Auto Zone was the first place I went. Two here in town. None had either the Dexos nor the Mobile 1. Two O'Reilly stores, and one Advance same result I was going to check NAPA but didn't have time. Once this hurricane is out of here, I'll check NAPA and Wal Mart.
  14. Agree on the programing. The other issue is finding spec oil. I had to go to the dealer for oil. No one else around here had it in stock.
  15. Anyone else experience low oil pressure on the baby diesel? It's been running on the low side. OPM shows 50% oil life. It was a quart low, I added one quart. No difference in pressure. See attached photo.
  16. Thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye on it. When I got the truck last year, the salesman and service manager said DEF should last until oil change. That didn't work out. I never listen to what they say anyway.
  17. Anyone having issues with the DEF gauge? Mine was down to three bars. I filled per the manual which brought it up to full. I did a 1000 mile round trip, then driving it around town. It was down two bars after the trip. I've driven a at least 1000 more or les since the trip. It's still at two bars. I really don't know if I trust it. But don't want to go into limp mode on the road.
  18. Following. On my 2019 I had my emergency light bar plugged in to the rear console "cigarette" lighter. My 2023 doesn't have that feature. I hate to, but it looks like I may have to figure out a hard wire fix.
  19. I'm seeing more failures on the new engines in mowers. Breaks and Scrappem with the plastic cam shaft is the worst. Just finished a Toro Kindasuckie on a commercial zero turn with a dropped valve. 15 hours on the clock. Friend of mine has a 1960 Wheel Horse Suburban. Original owner was his father. It runs better than new machines. 4 hp, single Kohler. Only thing done was oil change, air filter, and spark plug.
  20. New truck, dealer should have helped set it up. Mine did. Had my On Star transferred from previous truck to new truck and Sirius as well. On Star came with a 5 year paid up plan from the dealer. Hot spot has to have a password. Not sure about the phones. As I said, dealer took care of all of that when I picked the truck up.
  21. My OLM showed 29% at 4800 and some change. I have the 3.0 mini diesel in my Sierra. The owners manual says 7500 miles. I'm not sure what metrics the OLM is based on. Sounds like some research time.
  22. Took my 2023 Sierra SLT 3.0 diesel on it's first long trip. Up until last weekend, the longest round trip was about 250 miles. This one was a total of 619 which included milage at the destination. Down and back was all interstate. Milage down was 32.2. When we got back home the readout showed 619 miles, 29.2 MPG average 60 MPH. I ran the tank down to empty. When I filled it it took a bit over 21 gallons. We did hit a lot of stop and go traffic on the return trip. Oh, and the range showed 63 miles left when I filled up. I don't go by the range milage as that depends on too many factors. Overall, I am very pleased with the performance and comfort. In a few weeks It will get a workout with a trip from home to PA to De and back home.
  23. My Sierra is the only vehicle we have with wireless charging. At home we use a standard charger. My previous S21 worked fine. My wife's S21 does as well. First try with the S24U it was at 62% charge. Thanks for the info.
  24. New Samsung S24U won't charge wirelessly. I put it in the slot, it shows charging for a few seconds then goes to the yellow warning triangle. Tried without the Otter Box cover, no help. My S21U didn't have that problem. Anyone else with the S24U have this problem?
