A new OEM steering wheel is surprisingly cheap on rock auto. Depending on trim between $100-200. My 2020 was starting to wear off as well at 100k but I ended up trading it in before swapping wheel. The refresh trucks use a different leather than the earlier trucks.

I don’t think it was the wrong part exactly. It was just the wrong part because it probably still didn’t fix whatever issue they caused.

If the dealer is such an ass, straight up tell GM you feel the dealers service dept broke your truck with improperly diagnosing it originally. Nobody else had a truck that undriveable from the update. Gm will reimburse your rental and probably offer a buyback if you keep saying you want a reliable resolution and have lost faith in the repairs done. When I lived in VA, and the dealers sucked, I’ve been offered a buyback over a clicking in my steering (2018 z71) saying I’m not confident in the ability and repairs of the dealers in my area. I was able to fix it with a bunch of red grease in the steering shaft knuckle. It was a custom order truck and I honestly just wanted it fixed. pretty much, don’t ask for a buyback just tell them you don’t feel safe or confident in the repairs. I bet you’ll at least get a Silverado loaner.

Yeah, you can see the right side hinge isn’t 90 degrees and your tailgate top on the right sits about a 1/4 inch lower than the bed rail. It definitely got hit in my opinion.

You hinge is bent. Someone probably backed into something with tailgate down. Probably thought it barely touched and didn’t tell anyone. That’s exactly how mine looked on my last truck when someone hit that side of my tailgate while it was down. It’s not just the hinge on the outside, there’s a PITA to get to spring on the inside of that fender as well. If it’s not 100% perfect, you will wear out the slow close bushing super quick over and over. Probably also need a new tailgate. I was never able to get it perfect on my previous truck.

Also do you guys have the Z71 transfer case or regular 4wd without 4lo? I have the z71

Mine was having shifting weirdness until I got the update. Everyone affected seems to have very low miles. Could be bad programming to begin with.

No I do not unfortunately. I didn’t get any paperwork. They were able to find it pretty quick. The dealer who fixed it is Bob Steele Chevy in cocoa Florida. The title of the bulletin did say it was for customers with failed update.

Dealer found an SI bulletin for the failed update. Fix is listed as reprogram transfer case module. Dealer had me in and out in under an hour. Everything seems good on my drive home.

Yesterday afternoon I received an OnStar email with exactly the same codes as you including ABS. I have an appointment to the dealer later today. I will ask them to just clear codes without attempting to redo the update since the truck is having no other issues. I will update here once I’m done with the dealer.

Out of warranty, this could possibly total a truck based on repair cost, however if it makes it to 100k, I doubt you would still be having new problems.

My rear seat reminder also keeps turning back on as well. I figured it was from disconnecting the battery in attempt to clear the codes. it does sound like the tech shorted out something with your truck. im a licensed master electrician in 2 states and seeing the splices GM expects the techs to make are ridiculous. I wouldn’t even attempt them and just run a new harness. There’s no decent access or slack in any of the wiring. it honestly think it’s just a software glitch that ended up getting out of hand in your case.

I got the notification that the update failed, but cannot try to do it again. It did fix the weird shifts my transmission had. I also have no ABS errors. Only emergency braking disabled and service 4wd. It was not at my house when the update came up and did it on its own WiFi. I was near the truck, but did not watch the update. I heard parking brake engage while outside of it. Honestly if they can just clear the service 4wd everything else is working great. This is my first Silverado made in USA (Indiana) and the build quality is atrocious compared my last 3 Mexico made silverados including a 2020. Half the welds on the exhaust look like they’re ready to split. Paint quality is worse, etc. Nothing major but I can definitely notice a difference.

Yes mine is a 2023 LT Crew Cab Std Bed z71 with 3.0 diesel. I got it 1 week ago brand new. First day I got it, it did an update. Then this new update came up same day as you. My update also claimed to update adaptive cruise. I also do not have adaptive cruise control. I’ve had no issues with driving it for now. The parking brake now disengages on its own when shifting to drive or reverse.

I have appointment with dealer on Monday at 230 to get this looked at. Also curious what issues came up after the dealer tried to fix yours. I’ve tried disconnecting battery overnight, driving it, etc. still has service 4wd and yellow crash avoidance light. My truck did have the wire harness rubbing on the alternator bracket (there’s a tsb for this) and I moved it away. Did not seem to change anything or have rubbed through.

I had the same exact transmission issue (same shift but no service trans) until tonight’s update. Update said it failed, gave me service 4wd, but fixed the trans issue. Drives like a dream now.

I was going to call dealer tomorrow as it felt like the trans was shuddering when going into torque converter lock to the point truck was bucking (new 2023 lzo - 800 miles). Also felt like it was down on power vs my previous lm2. I had update come up and accepted it. When I turned truck back on, said update failed, service 4wd and emergency braking disabled. However, the truck now shifts perfectly and power feels great. im hoping the service 4wd goes off by morning. The update did mention improvements to adaptive cruise control. my truck does not have adaptive cruise. my previous Lm2 I had until 102k miles. Never had a major issue. Most check engine lights would clear themselves after 50 miles or a battery disconnect. Had it happen maybe 10 times while owning it since new. Ran perfect and got 32mpg going 80 on the way to dealer to trade it in. As much as it sucks, I’d just ignore it and wait for it to clear up on its own. one thing I did notice however, is that the ac drains literally right onto the trans and transfer case on the new trucks. On my 2020, I had nowhere near as much condensation and it came out onto DPF instead of onto the trans.

2020 Silverado 4x4 RST NON max tow with duramax crew cab standard bed my payload is 1808 lbs. max tow weight is 9200lbs. Max tow package could probably see 2000+ lbs payload.

Definitely agree heat affects it more than fuel useage. Towing just creates more of both, but I use less towing at night in cooler temps than midsummer days. For example, I used barely any def towing 5000 lbs with 1000lbs in bed for 800 miles to Florida in cool temps. Same trip in the heat unloaded used way more def.

As far as weird intermittent issues, I’ve noticed if we have strong windy storms overnight, the next day I may have a random reboot of the software or random electrical glitches that clear up. I’m guessing at an angle water can get into some electronics, but I’ve never had it after washing it or normal rain. With the temperature gauge, it seems like it will overheat a touch to help the oil or engine heat evenly. It’s not a true overheat because anytime I get annoyed with it, if I hit the gas the temp gauges literally plummets back to normal. If it was actually not keeping up with cooling, the opposite should happen so it’s not something to worry about and that’s a good way to get myself not to worry about it lol. Towards max load with a trailer on 90 degree or warmer days if I’m spiritedly accelerating through traffic, I do notice the gauge slightly on the high side of the the middle notch, and responsiveness of the engine seems throttled back compared to the start of the trip with the same load.

6.2 or not, the zr2 is less capable as a truck than a Nissan nv200 which has higher payload. 1400 lb payload is ridiculously low.

3.73 gears in diesel is awesome. Upgraded cooling and drivetrain is great (at 46,000 miles I have drivetrain play but it’s used for work and I work it). Also, on a 95degree day when you’re really working it, it currently detected power some, so the upgraded cooling is needed. I’m really into the upgraded cluster. I kind of dig the new high country look. will probably be upgrading to the new 2022. Edit: Also, definitely like the new bright blue!

2020 Silverado rst, 3-4 inches lower than stock (from weight) and I get flashed all the time. From behind my light hits little shitboxes right in the side mirrors as well. unloaded at exactly stock height I get flashed even more. my 2018 also got flashed. as did my 2015. most drivers in my state (Virginia) should not have a license.

I wonder if the cooler lines for the trans have the same issue in Silverado’s as they do on the tahoes with the duramax. But I haven’t heard or seen anyone mention any kind of issues with the 10 speed until this.
