2014 Silverado LTZ Crew Cab. While cleaning my truck today, I noticed a small (about 1.5 Inches) tear in the carpet that meets the center console on the driver's side. Has anyone else seen this?

SPC,

My production was around the same time. There was a connect inside the hole. I had to feel around for it but was able to pull it out. I went to the dealership and showe them. They stated it was an option however you couldn't order the option. Until them that's dosnt make a whole lot of sense and they agreed and said they would order the light and put it in for me for free. Sounds like maybe the august production trucks they forgot to install these lights or the trucks that came with the lights the dealers put them in. I would think the first option is more then likely the case.

The dealer found the same 1 1/2 inch cut on another LTZ and therefore said that it should be there. I talked to a different mechanic who said that previous years models may have needed the cut for an accessory. In any case, it is poor quality! GM any comment on this?

OK Jennifer, apparently I do not know how to private message you. I would like to find out if the carpet needs to be replaced.

If this cut is on your truck and on another truck like it. Then the carpet is probably made that way and will be there if replaced anyway?

Outside Temperature 24 degrees F this morning. Remote Start did not turn on the Heated Seats. GM insists that they are working properly. How cold does it have to get GM?

 

Same here in central Minnesota. 30 degrees, remote start, cold seats. The option is turned on in system settings...

 

This has been reported several times in this thread. I believe my 2011 would turn them on if it was 40 or below.. maybe 45.

So today my backup camera decided to develop a mind of it's own. I suspect there's a short or a loose connection somewhere. It came on when I left work and when I backed out of a parking lot after I stopped for something to eat it didn't come on and again when I got home. The option for the rear camera also disappeared from the MyLink system when the camera wouldn't come on. Tried factory resetting everything but it still didn't work. I finally got out and opened my tailgate and slammed it shut and it came back on once and then wouldn't come back on after I put it in park and shifted to reverse again. Slammed the tailgate again and it started working again.

 

I also have the squeeky front seat and the passenger side Rancho strut is leaking.

 

I guess it's time to call the dealership...

 

Fun times...

I was informed by phone today that the hole in the carpet is "normal" for 2014 Chevy Silverado trucks, at least the LTZ. So much for fit and finish!

are you talking about the carpet between the bottom of the seat and the center console? If so.. who cares? it's impossible to see unless you crawl down below and look for it.....

It is easy to see with the seat back. In any vase it's a vehicle that costs as much as a house in some areas and GM didn't take the time to repair 1 1/2 inch cut in the carpet! I Care! You didn't pay for my truck! Do U work for GM?

All I'm saying is I could find a lot of other more important things to complain about with this new truck. God awful trans, heated seats not working w/ remote start , etc, etc.. My truck is the same as your... and I had to look for the carpet issue ...with a flashlight...lol.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
