The trouble begins, no start

Our new Silverado never once failed to start and the temps were well below 10 degrees here in Ohio. I believe the dealership and GM put a new starter on our truck before we took possession a few weeks ago. This has to be the quietest and nicest riding trucks we have owned. Trying to convince my wife she needs the more room our 2012 GMC Sierra Crew has over the new 2014 Silverado DBL cab but she beats me every morning to the Silverado.

Unfortunately, I am having the same problem....truck starts, shut it off, truck won't start again...in cold temps. It's at the dealer for the third time in a month & I'm driving a rental. Second time it happened, they changed the battery and flew in a new module...probably that computer update you mentioned. My weekend rental that time was a dodge 1500 4X4 with a Hemi....sorry to say I enjoyed driving it!!! This time around I'm in a GMC Sierra HD...its minus 30 tonight, hope it starts in the morning..!

FYI: Thanks Brendon444 for that exhaust flapper info, I drove over to the dealer lot & decided I have nothing to lose for checking out the flapper valve, "it was frozen shut", I broke it free and the truck started up great and ran smooth, I will now steal my own truck from the dealer lot and call them to let them know what was wrong, I can see that this valve will have to go, not too sure what its purpose is though, there is no electrical hookups to it at all, appears to be mainly for backpressure??

will check that out on mine as well, currently at the dealer for the same problem...!

This got rekindled after a year... I now own two 2014 Silverados and we love them both. The issue with our first

2014 was the starter itself had moisture sealed inside and when temps drop below a certain level it would freeze locking the starter. At least that's what we were told. They said that issue would resolve itself after 500 miles or so with numerous starts... needless to say we didn't wait for that but took a firmer stand on GM standing behind there vehicles and quality. Once GM made us 100% satisfied with customer satisfaction we bought a 2nd truck. They drive incredibly well and we love them both.
