My truck is at dealer again today for FM radio reception issues / HD radio issues. Dealer is dealing directly with GM tech services this time.

Just putting this out there, confirm for yourselves. About a year ago I had 2 blown speakers in my Camaro I took it to a high end, very reputable stereo shop. The installer told me the speakers will be destroyed if there is static in the receiver. He told me that is the biggest cause along with a CD that skips etc. GM needs to come up with a fix, this is going on since July that I am aware of.

My truck is still at dealer for radio reception problems (will be there tommorrow also). Dealer found found a radio code that needs to have tech support involved. They also compared with another 2014 Silverado and found FM reception to be close to mine, but my radio dropped the HD much more than other Silverado.

DMD277, I will let you know what they say.

Factory Technician is coming to check out radio issues. Probably be at least a week, so I won't know anything for a least a week.

I would let them know now instead of waiting. I spoke with multiple people from GM and they claim there are no complaints about FM reception issues. If they cannot fix my radio, I am pursusing a buy back from GM. The only problem is that I added $$$ accesories.

I have already opened a case with GM, told me there was no resolution at this point.

 

Here is how GM's email address work.

 

[email protected]

 

Here is a list of the executive officers of GM. Last time I ran into a block I emailed everyone over these people, several got the email and with in 25 hours I had a high up person contact my friend and with in 2 days his buy back was in process on his car.

It sounds like you got tired of waiting on them to fix it. I was crossing my fingers that you were onto something with them. The radio reception still bugs me daily. Dealer said works as it should.

 

Feb 20, 2014 NO FIX for FM.

Sooo , it is just as I suspected. 21 pages of complaints and GM has no knowledge of the problem. What in the H have Jennifer and her little band of do nothings been doing. If they did the things they claim to do, the father land would have knowledge of this and every other problem talked about on these forums. Yes I know that we are a small number, I have talked to at least 4 new owners in parking lots and gas stations who hate the radio,but were unaware of this forum. So the number represented here is far less than actual problems or no problems overall. Even the company that does the radio says this problem is in over 50% of the trucks, and GM is aware of it, but admitting it would greatly effect the _____

My service manager told me the same thing. GM has not had complaints about FM radio reception. I know that several owners on this site have contacted their dealers and GM. It makes me wonder.

      In the 6.6 gas thread, I added information in my fluid change thread about these gauges and temperatures. With very limited data, it so far looks like ~30 degrees difference between front and rear.

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.
