Thanks for the great effort and timely updates.

 

Hopefully the fix will make it out her to Arizona and not by covered wagon in the next couple weeks

 

Everyone is talking about the FM signal which I have the same problems but I also have problems with several of our strong AM stations doing the same thing until I turn off the (HD signal) option on the touch screen, hoping the fix if it keeps the darn (HD signal) from coming back on each time you change channels will take care of the AM part also?

*** UPDATE ***   Back from the dealer, engineers did as I thought and had a flashed module with them. Just had to wait on it to be installed and paired to my VIN and we were off on the road test.

Ok, just got off of the phone with the Chief Engineer and 2 infotainment engineers. GM is waiting on the infotainment vendor to finish their side of the update, they have to tes the update out and are

NEW 2014 GMC Sierra has HORRIBLE Radio/HD Radio reception. There was a pretty long post about this before with a good amount of people on it. I've concluded they are pushing XM so hard that they mad

From what the programming in my truck is doing now, once the HD is turned off it stays off.

Had the truck in for the neutral shift issue and had a line placed on the ticket for radio reception. Dealer couldn't replicate problem (the're on a hill). Waiting for radio update.

Ok the chief engineer emailed me back this morning. They are finishing up the last part of the validation process. He said they are trying to have the update ready at the beginning of August.

Any new info?

Can someone post a tsb number I think it is happening to me in a 6/14 build truck also. Also heard static through the radio upon opening the door is something wrong?

What steps did you take to get the ball rolling? Did you contact dealer and then GM? My dealer already knows about my FM reception issue, but I have not taken it further awaiting this fix. Thanks

I contacted GM back in the winter, they will give you a person that will listen to your concerns and give you a 12 digit number that you will use to stay in contact. The person helping me was very nice and I believe she cared about my problem. Then she is in contact with the service manager at the dealer and the staff in technical support. She is going to contact me on Tuesday and I will post all of the details on this site when I have more info. The good news is a last there is a fix coming.

Radio software fix is not a TSB but similar. PI1288. Don't get your hopes up too high. This will probably fix some radios but not others. After all, it's just software.

This is not correct, on the early builds it is a hardware replacement and then a software update. on the later builds it will be a software update only. If the truck was built before 12/2013 it will require the new radio module.

TJay74, you may well be correct. But PI 1288 is a software only repair. It is the only officially released fix to date. If more is needed, hopefully it will come. :D

I know for sure I am correct (not trying to come off cocky, that info is straight from the engineers) as the pre 12/2013 modules are not able to be flashed and have to be changed out then the new module flashed.

 

That was the first part of my trucks trouble shooting, replace my radio module and then flashed it before they went on to correct the programming for the multi path issue.

Hoping this becomes a recall. Just talked to service manager and mentioned the PI 1288. He said if it's not a recall,a service tech needs to "duplicate" the problem. I didn't want to argue that this was a specific fix for the radio reception.

 

Oh, and he mentioned that I'm the first to bring the bad radio reception issue to his attention. :noway: Unbelievable to say the least!

      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.
