I'm surprised I don't see more complaints about the "auto text" feature not working on GM vehicles - the song name does not scroll across the display (when it's a long name that does not fit on the display of their standard radio). The manual describes how it is supposed to work, but it does not function as the manual states. Doesn't this bother anyone? If so, any luck getting GM to correct it?

Welcome to the forum. During the free xm period I only turned on the disney channel for my kids. So I never used it enough to noticed anything.

Some XM tuners are limited to 16 characters. Our trucks are one of them.

Amazing that that the radio in my commuter car (an 09' Cobalt) works as it is supposed to. The radio in my 09' truck did not and nor does the radio in my 11' truck. Probably a firmware issue and as such could be programmed at a dealership, if GM fixed the problem.

 

I also noticed that pushing the 'info' button does not hold the 'info' display from XM channel to XM channel, like it does on my Cobalt. Anyone else see this?

Wow - can't say as I ever noticed that. I did notice the lack of an underhood light, cigar lighter, console tray, footwell lighting, wheel opening moldings, a-arm splash shields and a few other things though.....

Getting an Advent OGM1 will solve this

 

Does your ogm1 scroll on the xm page? Mine doesn't it just cuts off. I thought it would be nice if it scrolled. It scrolled on the factory radio.

Nope, at least mine does not scroll at all on the factory radio. Just sits there and says XM chan 37 or something helpful like that. Nothing to really scroll when it does that. So to get a display of what is on I have to press the info button. When I push the info button, nothing scrolls then either so I guess it is cutting off what is coming from the XM tuner or the tuner is only sending a certain number of characters. Not that big of deal so I probably won't swap out the radio unless it fails. I just thought I would mention it because the OGM1 owners were discussing XM tuner limitations.

 

Wonder if GM is using different XM tuners?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
