I bought a 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 truck with low miles on it about 18 months ago. About the second week that I had it, the "service airbag" message appeared. It came on and disappeared a number of times in the next few months, so, I carried it to my local dealer for service. They charged me about $130 and worked on it for about 2 hours.

 

The light and message remained off for about a week. Then, it was back.

 

I have had other issues with a previous Chevrolet C1500 Silverado and had not been able to get them resolved with this same local dealer. I now do not trust them to fix ANYTHING on ANY Chevy/GMC vehicle that I own.

 

I tried checking all of the electrical connections to the seat sensors, to no avail. Then, I checked the wiring for shorts, opens, etc. Nothing. Had the problem scanned at another shop. Problem went away for about a week. Then, it was back.

 

I have probably cleared the message several thousand times since it started. I can clear the message, but, the airbag light does not disappear.

 

What good are airbags if they are not going to work and the dealers and repair shops cannot fix them? I have considered turning the truck into a swamp mud slinging vehicle, but, it is too nice of a truck to do that to.

 

I was hoping that my model would come up on the Tanaka airbag recall list, but, that has not happened yet. Guess it will take a fatality and a lawsuit against GM to get this problem fixed. Too bad you have to retain the services of a lawyer, just to get the proper service on your vehicle these days........

If they misdiagnosed the code , why didn't you take it back ? , ITS THEIR FAULT . at no cost to you , it's called a " come back "

 

Why don't you guys KNOW this ?

 

Stop talking lawsuit and other BS and just take it back , nice rant thou

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
