In my 21 Silverado or now my 25, I never ever have had an over the air update come through, and I do manually go into the radio and check for the updates, maybe once a month or so. For the no radio volume and turn signal noise, they told me they had to use the scan tool and preform the update, which took several hours. For the Google Maps update, the service advisor did that one outside in the parking lot, which did take quite a while as I am an Iphone user so I had to download the Google email app, create an account, and then go through with the updates by logging into my radio.

I had this happen several times on my truck. Tried the reset/reboot with the steering wheel button and still lost audio and turn signal sound. Took the truck into the dealer, they did a software update on the radio and now it has worked ever since. Also built in Google Maps would shut down several times on a 1 hour trip, since the software update Google Maps has worked good as well.

Just got the 25 2 days ago. My original post did state just bought the 25

Boy GM is confused then. Even my dealer thinks it should have the rumble seat. Makes sense that they save some of these options for higher trims, but make sure your advertising is accurate on the website. Not a huge deal, I just thought if it is supposed to be there it should work.

The GM literature online when you “build and price” my truck shows the rst comes with the safety seat. I forget the exact option code the service manager told me it was but I believe it started with a “B”. Like I said, he told me according to my trucks build sheet it has the safety seat.

Rst. I was at the dealer today because they had to install the large Chevrolet decal on the tailgate and they checked my vin and it definitely has the safety alert seat. I am just looking in the truck. The owners manual says in the “comfort and convenience section” only has chime volume option. Under the “collision/detection” section all settings are either on or set to alert and brake.

I looked in that area of the settings, my truck has nothing about the seat.

Just bought new 2025 Silverado and with the safety package it is supposed to have the safety alert seat, dealer did verify that my truck does show specifically that it has the option. Anyone know under what circumstances the seat will vibrate, I would have thought parking with the park sensors beeping either front or rear the seat should vibrate, dealer thought only if the truck is detecting a side collision possibility that it will vibrate. Today I was changing lanes to make a turn into a turning lane with the current forward lane stopped at a red light and the forward collision alert warned me of a collision, but no seat rumble. I just thought that these scenarios should rumble the seat.

I switched mine over to the 0W40, my reasoning is since the 6.2 engine in the Camaros and Corvettes are using the 40 weight, and the truck engines use the same bearings. Also GM is using the 40 weight for this recall. Mobil 1 makes a 0W30 Dexos approved oil that a guy could use, as well the 5W30 is used in Europe in these engines so I don't think you can really go wrong with any oil you use, I just don't feel comfortable with the 20 weight.

So my truck engine not in the recall, bwoodsmn's engine not in the recall, both blew up, and I know one guy with a 5.3 that the bottom end went out at 100,000 miles, GM has a big problem on their hands with their engines going out way above this current recall which is only for the 6.2s. Maybe the percentage of vehicles giving trouble is low, but....

If there is any engine builders to comment, as well though they would rebuild the cylinder heads. On my engine it was just the center thrust bearing that went bad, the other crank bearings looked like new. So I don’t know, I would think that mine would be able to be used. But I am not an engine builder. I am just going by what the dealer told me that my “new” engine is a rebuilt engine. I just went on a 750 mile trip this weekend and the truck ran perfect.

I was told unless the engine block has a big hole in the side they can rebuild all of them.

This is exactly what the service manager told me they do. They rebuild engines for warranty replacements. I did not get a brand new engine under warranty. Only assembly line new vehicles get new engines. About a month ago the dealer told me GM had 22 6.2 engines in stock in Michigan.

Just got my truck back from the dealer. They did install all new injectors and they had to re-seal the oil pan. Said that the silicone at the rear of the engine was too thinly applied. They put on about 60 miles test driving it, then they took pictures and it does look dry now. Also, I was told that what they call “service” replacement engines are remanufactured and NOT brand new. So only factory assembly line vehicles get new engines.

Now I noticed oil on my garage floor. Had it in for the injectors anyway and they said the oil pan is leaking oil.
