Thanks VMaxtastic.

 

Actually no. Just the iPod. That's it. I wish it was a multi-device problem. I guess I could try formatting it again and starting over. Did it once. Any idea the Firmware you are running on yours? I mean the firmware on the iPod

I have no idea because it died.. I was kinda wondering if it was related to using it in my truck.. Seemed a bit coincidental.. But I've had it so long, and it was starting to act weird. Now it wont turn on or charge or anything.

I bet you are having the same problem I did. Did you try resetting it? Hold the Center select button and the Menu button for 10 sec give or take a few. It should reset and you will see the Apple on the screen

No actually I didn't. It's at home, and I'm away working. But I'll definitely try that when I do get home. And thank you in advance if that does fix it!

Be aware it will lock up again if you plug it back into the truck. Just use the Stereo Mini 3.5mm Connection if you can. It works fine that way. Just isn't how it should work. Mine plays 1-5 songs before it locks up. And it only locks up when plugging it into the USB jack in the truck. Any Jack. Oh, also make sure the iPod is not locked with the lock switch on the top. ;)

What I done was go to wally world. Get the fastest sd card they have put all my music on it, and also put 5 movies on it installed the sd card in the truck. No problems with lag or switching from song to song. Or playing movies. The movies are in mp4 and the music from is mp3 format. Hope this helps.

I bought a 64 GB SD and it doesn't work. I'm gonna end up using my old phone with a 64 gb micro sd and just bluetooth it i think

So b your iPod locking up, do you mean that the screen goes black and is inoperable? I just thought my battery finally crapped out.

Hey VM, yes the screen goes black. If you angle the iPod just right under a light you should be able to see the last thing it was doing on the screen. The battery didn't crap out, it locked up and shut off the back light display. Hope that helps!

Well damn... Its a good thing I didn't toss it. I almost did too. So I bet a new iPod touch would likely work better. But I refuse to buy apple products.. This one was a gift. If that what the problem was, I owe you a case of beer! So I guess I'm in the same boat as you!

 

I did get a 64 and 32 GB usb stick working... But my problem there was getting all my music transferred without the transfer locking up. So if anyone was curious... I can confirm that a USB stick up to 64 GB does work for music. They are 35 dollars in Canada.

Make sure your card was formatted correctly. It should be formatted with a FAT file system.

No problem. Glad I could help. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure my truck out. I does ride fantastic and the fuel economy is a serious bonus. I love the LED bed lights and the movable tie downs... although, the dealership could have done me a favor and asked if I wanted the other tie downs to be LineX'ed instead of just doing it without my consent. The cab is super nice. I just wish the Bose system was what I believe I was supposed to get. And the stuff it claims works should work. Thats the main reason I wish I had firmware numbers from anyone else with my truck for the intellilink system, the iPod, and their Android phone. So I could start comparing if its just a mismatched firmware or something deeper.

Hey Vmaxtastic, do you have a Bose system in your truck? I see you drive an SLT All-Terrain

Yeah it's actually ExFat... I get no option for Fat32 with this card

If I get my ipod going I'll let you know what the firmware is....

 

And yeah is Bose in it

I got a question on your Bose system. If you load the Menu in the radio section do you have certain DSP, Timeshifting, AudioPilot, and Eq?

 

Those are the options I am missing.

 

Also if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the menu options there is the Software Information Menu (This is in the main Setting Menu) What Firmware number is listed next to Software.

 

AND if you are feeling like it. In the Vehicle Setting "Vehicle Personalization " Menu, is there an option under BLUETOOTH for Text Message Alerts??

      HELP! DUMPING COOLANT

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      If anyone lands here looking for an update - the problem wasnt with the hose, the clamp, etc... I purchased a metal Thermostat housing that just must not of been made to spec. It just wouldn't plug up the hose.. Went back to a plastic cheap housing - leak fixed. Some plumbers tape carefully placed in tandem with a clamp likely would've gotten the job done.   Best,

      AUX switch install

      For anyone following, this is what I have deduced from this forum - and my very specific niche case. Please do let me know if you see me going in the wrong direction here. For context, I have a 16 sierra 1500 w/t. Has TC and Cargo light switches. Removed the switch to find the X1 and X2 of the S48A connection populated with wires (x1 10-14, and x2 1-5).   Took photos of the X61A-X5 to find the wires from S48A-X1 land here at their respective pins (10, 11, 17, 23 on the X5). Was hopeful that this means my X51A fuse box has the appropriate pins... No cigar. So now I will be routing wires from the rear of the X61A-X1 to the engine bay and to their respective negative relay triggers. Please see to the diagram. If any has insight as to where the S48A-X2 pins 4 and 5 land that would be awesome.   Note: please disregard fuse sizes. Main fuse will like be 25A, all mini bus fuses will likely be 10-15A   Cheers

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!
