just wondering if I have two remotes for the vehicle, and only one works, is there a way to program the others without having to take it to the stealership? I found the way for up to 2008; can't seem to find anything else on the matter.

 

thanks in advance!!!

Nope. In 2011 for some reason they made it require the dealer scan tool.

Because you can't program a remote? People whine about the strangest stuff. :lol:

No - because they design trucks that are ALREADY overpriced to nickel and dime you to DEATH. Paying $50 grand isn't enough - they've got to design USELESS & UNRELIABLE systems that FORCE you to be extorted by the dealership that already has half your paycheck. Crank relearn procedures ..... TPMS that won't program by following the owner's manual step by step .... piss tanks in diesels .... DPF's plugging solid on diesels ...... I mean really ... It's only $50 grand!

 

 

What happened to companies taking pride in building a quality vehicle, selling it for a reasonable price, and giving you an INCENTIVE to visit the dealership instead of electronically programmed extortion tactics???? Is it too much to ask for a little HONESTY???

 

Rant over. Keep buying your new trucks every 2 years. Maybe the unions will send you a birthday card for all your fundage .... :lol:

Well considering a crank relearn is something that would generally only be done after a tune you really can't fault GM for that. They and every other brand don't like it when you do that. :lol: Never tried the TPMS procedure, if I did my own maintenance still I'd spend the $60 on the tool and not deal with airing down and refilling BS. Too much hassle when you can get a tool and do it right. Can't speak on the diesel stuff but that, TPMS, stability control and every other nanny you can thank the feds for. GM didn't just decide to add that awful crap for no reason. Good luck if you choose another brand for the next truck, they're all the same with weird dealer only stuff except that GMs have always been the most DIY-friendly trucks. Maybe the grass will actually be greener on the other side for once.

      Gas Prices

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
