Sounds like it was built on May 5th.

That was just funny. Wonder how may folks figured it out?

 

Anyone, just a reminder to all, they build these truck 24x7 now. So there is no real "Friday" in the production line. But there are form time to time new workers and P.Oed workers. Pray for a happy group that built your truck.

I get it! Crew cabs are built in Mexico, mexicans celebrate cinco de mayo aka may 5th.

I have loved mine, and GM and my dealership have actively worked to address the seat issue on mine, and now have a part in that the dealer is putting on Friday. This vehicle, rides, drives and gets much better mileage than an Lexus SUV that was handed down to me - it is a very nice truck so far and I am very happy that GM is stepping up to help folks, it is very encouraging.

 

Did they get the part on? Fixed? What part?

Installed the part Monday on the seat. Per the Service Tech, it is an extra clip that goes on the cushion connecting it to the mechanism to stop side to side movement of the seat. I have only driven it twice since then but it has not moved since they installed it.

The same thing just happened to mine; fortunately the window was closed already when it broke. The dealership said the window parts are on backorder, so they will call me when the parts get in.

Yep. I got a message Friday stating the same thing. Parts on backorder, will call when they come in. It's closed, so no worries.

Update:

It's been 20 days since I originally took my 2014 silverado to service for a transmission downshift and knocking noise.

GM says " we are waiting on the service department to let us know how what is the next step"

My dealer " We are waiting on GM to approve a buy back"

Me " say what!!!!! "

Wish me luck.

Good luck! Hope they do you right.

Buy back? This would be the second time I've read about this concerning the 2014, I know there's always going to be bugs to be worked out, but bad enough to justify a buy back?

On my case yes!! I have spend 50.000.00 on a brand new truck and I expect to have a brand new truck with ZERO problems.

after all its a Chevy that we speak of !!! Not a Dodge.

Anyone notice when they picked up their truck it was extremely quiet? Like it wasn't even running. Now we've got a motor that is alot louder. Almost a slight knocking.

CCTiger,

 

That is great news! I am happy to hear that your dealership was able to resolve your concern with your seat moving.

 

Safe travels,

Yep. I posted that early in the tread. Mine doesn't sound bad I just think it louder then when I first got it.

I am getting some driveline lash, general transmission confusion clunks and smacks.

There is a rattle in the interior somewhere.

the lane departure warning works intermittently, gives me a message of "not available at this time"

 

going to wait on the clunk and the rattle before I mention it since I want to see if when the truck breaks in it will be any better.

 

the lane departure thing I will call onstar next time it happens

 

truck works great besides that, One thing I cant complain about is the quality of my paint!

Please don't wait!!!! I had my 2014 Silverado with the same Transmission problems from day one! let your service dept know. also your sales rep.

my service dept and sales told me to drive it for 1000 miles for that " braking period" it never went away.

at least let them know, this will help you in the future.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
