I gave up trying to get in touch with kodiakz. I had my dealer install the IO6 HMI module this week. They did the VIN programming but not the XM change or OnStar. It took me about 15 minutes to get it thru to the customer service rep that my radio would now support traffic and weather. I have not contacted OnStar yet as I can manually enter a destination by typing it in or thru voice recognition. I can also pull an address from my phones contact list. Eventually I will get around to calling OnStar to deal with them. Pretty happy with it so far. The weather and traffic functions are pretty cool as well.

If you don't me me asking, how much was the dealership charging for the module, install and programming?

Tell your dealer there is a TSB about this. Lists part numbers. I priced the parts at normal list price. About $1200 + labor

Gm-navigation.com has a smoking deal on a limited amount of units right now should probably call them asap ;)

What's a smoking hot deal?

The $1200 installed is pretty close. I really looked at the phone mirroring but wanted it to be original when it's time to get rid of the truck down the road.

I mirrored my phone for less than half that price, with many many more options now than what you are getting.

 

Also your truck will not be original with the io6 mod installed, but a mirroring system is not a mod or hack and (depending on the brand chosen) is it plug-n-play so just unplug before you trade.

 

The system I installed I added a mounted HDMI/USB port but that was my choice, it can all be concealed if one so decides.

What year is your truck?

Jesus, that could buy premium aftermarket navigation/head units for that much.

 

The sad part is, a smartphone made in the last ~4 years and google maps/waze and any one of a thousand weather apps does all that for free. It's literally even cheaper to buy a 2nd hand smartphone, buy it it's own data plan on your cell service for almost 5 years and literally just leave it in the vehicle in a nav mount.

 

The purpose of the rant, though, is that $1,200 extra is just too much after the original cost of the vehicle.

I purchased an aftermarket 2015 HMI module programmed with GPS for my 2015 Silverado 2500 (built before August). Easy plug and play and worked great for about 2 weeks, then while driving the radio stayed playing, but the 8" touch screen went completely black. It stayed black for about 45 seconds and came back on and reconnected my phone via Bluetooth. It took about 5 minutes for the gps to put me back on the right street (it had me in the middle of the water when it first come back up). Contacted the guy where I bought it and he said to have the radio updated. I did. It went out again about a week later, same scenario. He sent me a HMI module without text, new GPS antenna and new radio module. Still went out, but only at random times. Brought truck to dealer and dealer said there was a code in the HMI for USB receptacle. They said the re-programmed. They also called TAC and was told to review HMI engineering page and refer to pi1126f. They said they found radio and HMI data way out dated and performed update on HMI and radio (program code 8f108. I got home from dealership (Nav was now gone because they re-flashed HMI) and put original HMI in truck. Guy where I purchased is telling me that if the dealer truly did reprogram his HMI, my factory original HMI wouldn't work. It works fine. I don't know anything about this stuff, so if any of this makes any sense to anyone please let me know. All I wanted was navigation in my dash. (without the screen going black.) Anyone else experiencing the screen issue? Is it the truck or GPS system? UGGGGHHHHH

Yeah. Then he replaced it with a HMI without texting and it still didn't fix the problem.

Yup it already did the damage. Likely will need at least the display replaced.

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

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

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

      They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years
