How did you find this out? Did you have to take it in or just called and had them run your VIN? There seems to be confusion in this thread about how to determine if updates are needed or not.

Don't think I am who your talking to, but I had my local run my VIN. GMrecalls had nothing listed for my VIN, but from experience, I did not trust that.

 

After the local Chevy ran my vin, I need it also.

That is right, call your local dealer and have them run the VIN. You may also send a PM to the GM Customer Service folks up here. They are quite helpful.

I called my service department he said he saw no recalls on my VIN and I gave him the recall bulletin number 13330 he was reading it and he saw no notation on my VIN. He also said if it needed it GM would send a letter is that true????? Don't know what to believe.... Please help!

If your VIN comes up clean, chances are that it won't apply to your truck. Not sure if they are sending notices, this is more of when you come in for service and the service department checks the VIN number against the GM VIS system and says to you "oh there is an open update/recall to your truck."

I didn't get a letter for mine and had it done. Not sure if I had it done before they had a chance to send me anything though.

They will send you a letter if there is a recall on anything. I got one for the seat tilt mechanism and took my truck in for that. While there I also brought up this AFM computer reflash issue and the adviser looked into it. He said it was really not a recall it's was more of a TSB. My truck did not need the reflash and I was good to go. My truck was built at the end of August.

Can the people who have had the update to the ECM tell us what their build dates are?

 

My truck was built in in August of 2013.

I talked to my dealership today and they said there have been no recalls on my Sierra but there were two Field Actions (loose seat and rough engine movement that resulted in a reprogramming). Both of these he said were done back in August, which actually confuses me because I bought the truck brand new the last week of October. Is there anyway I can tell from my VIN when the truck was made?

 

thanks

I'm also curious about this. My build date was in September and my dealer is telling me there are currently no updates for my Sierra.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      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.
