So got a call from the dealership this afternoon, there are 3 recalls on my 2014 Silverado. The woman who called really had no idea what they were and was just calling to schedule the appointment. She did have the recall codes however-anybody know what these are?

 

ECM, TCM, BCM.

 

She did say she thought the BCM was related to the doors. I said I wasn't having any problems with my doors and she laughed nervously.

 

Anyone?

ECM/TCM affects the AFM and shifting issues. The BCM update affects the sequence software is loaded when you turn the key on. There are instances where the vehicle wouldn't start for about 10 minutes.

 

I wasn't experiencing any issues but had all the updates done. Takes about an hour total if your dealer is good at honoring appointments.

OK cool. I don't have any of these issues either but will have done. Thanks

I wonder if the XM cutting out would be fixed by the BCM update. I have to refresh my signal a lot.

I think that thing on GM.com is for full out recalls. but what the OP is talking about are actually TSB's.

not just spotty reception, but I lose sound all together and I cant get it back unless I send a refresh signal from XM. The screen shows what is playing and the song names and bands and what not. Just no sound.

I have been having the same problem.

Its very annoying right?

Yes, I am going into the dealer Friday for snow tires/wheels and to fix my heated steering wheel. I will ask them about this too, now that I know it is not just me. Will let you know if I find a fix for it.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
