Hi Guys

 

I have a 2007 GMC Sierra crew cab loaded, dvd, powersunroof and leather... i love it...

I have one issue....on my D.I.C the truck has for buttons....the 3rd one down doesnt work (customization button) I brought the truck to the local dealer and they told me this truck might not be equipted with that buttton option...but all the other 3 bottons work on the truck.

How can i find out if forsome reason this one button out of the four on my dash is not working or installed on my truck...

 

 

thanks

If your truck is loaded there is no reason that the button should not work. Have them replace it. If out of warranty then you can buy and do it yourself it is about $80. My truck did not come with those buttons and I added them myself it is plug and play and they all work.

the 80 bucks s for the panel and the switch, The switch itself is about 20 bucks

that dealer is kinda dumb....it is either the 4 button switch, or the basic trip set switch...

Pull the panel and meter the switch.

 

 

The different buttons on the DIC just change the value of a resistor in the DIC switch. You have a bad button assembly. If its under warranty just ask for a new one. If not buy a new switch-there not that much. If three buttons work, it has to be the switch- check the electrical drawings.,

Gil85: How exactly did you go about adding the dic to your truck. I have an 08 GMC Sierra SLE and would like to add the dic onto it and was curious as to how you do it. Is the wiring harness already there? Is it just a simple plug and play type deal? Thanks in advance

Yes and yes.

these freakin dealers never cease to amaze me. I would have flipped if they would have nonchalantly said, maybe your truck isn't equipped for that button to work. Maybe if they put more effort into things when you have a question you would consider visiting them for a $50 oil change.....

I find more often than not in dealerships whatever they may be cars/trucks/motorcycles.... They know little to nothing about the product they are selling, and in some instances if you either A. already bought from them, or B. bought the truck used somewhere else.... the support is not there; because they can't answer your question or cannot be bothered with your measely questions.

 

Then they are pissed when you don't have service done there, or buy from them.

 

If you treat me like I don't exist; when you need me to be there, I won't.

      AFM Experience

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.
