Yes, sticking with the topic here, I stopped off at my local dealer yesterday and they entered my serial number for recalls. I'm up for #13330, #14008 (Fire recall), #13370, #13257. Three downloads and the fuel pressure regulator issue.

 

Wish me luck!

I just had my fire recall done yesterday and so far I feel like it's fixed dead pedal too. Much more responsive when you hit the gas. Anyone else notice this?

By illumination issue, are you referring to a check engine type light is on, or something else?

 

Sorry I'm so late responding to this. I was referring to the dashboard illumination issues of the early builds of the model. It's addressed in the "some questions about my 2014" thread.

All auto manufacturers go through this with all products. Some call them campaigns, some call them updates, some call them customer satisfaction bulletins... all the same thing. Some make the news, some don't. The biggest thing to consider with any of these things, is who's decision was it? If the manufacturer decided to do it, it's a good thing. If the feds made the manufacturer do it, that's a bad thing... and speaks about how little the manufacturer cares about its consumers.

This recall was GM's call, not the government's. That alone speaks volumes. There are import manufacturers that keep everything hush hush quiet so they don't get the bad press, and yet have been government forced to do a recall on things they didn't want to do... and that also says volumes about them.

Who cares if GM wants to be proactive in preventing problems... good for them!

 

Now as to the anti-technology guy that only wants old non-computerized equipment... fine that's your choice, but you're a bit of a hypocrite declaring it on the web... send me a letter by mail and you'll have more impact lol

Computers belong on a DESK - not in a vehicle people rely on to get to WORK.

 

And, think about it - the only reason GM was proactive in this is they don't want to be SUED when somebody DIES in one of their vehicles. Ford already taught that lesson in the 70's with the Pinto, yet manufacturers STILL try to cut corners.

 

I've been a die-hard GM guy since I could walk, let alone DRIVE ... BUT, I am not going to blindly follow ANYONE like a lost lamb. You guys are free to waste your own money as you see fit - that's the beauty of a free (well, somewhat ...) society. Like I always say: it's your money ...

 

 

 

I've said enough on this. Back on topic. Carry on. I'll bring the popcorn and beer. :cheers:

Your 07 has just as many computers in the truck as the 2014s do...save for maybe the infotainment system.

A Chev Sprint/Pontiac Firefly had more computer power in them than the apollo rockets did. anyone remember the sprint/firefly/metro/ suzuki swift or whatever else they were branded? That was amongst the crappiest, poorest automobiles GM ever dabbled in... worse than the chevette lol... and still had computers. Your 700r4 4 speed overdrive transmission... yep, there's a module for that too.

Had mine done this morning...took 40 minutes. Im going to keep an eye on the mpg's, since several said they noticed the AFM more engaged. It felt more responsive on the drive home, but it could of been a placebo effect.

This is a fire recall. Has nothing to do with the stupid rings around the radio knobs. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Way back when this thread first started that's what he was commenting on. The one sentence about the lights was just an aside in his post about the recall. That's the problem when you jump into a thread without reading from the beginning.

Sorry I didn't remember a one line comment 230 posts ago. Either way I'm tired of hearing about the stupid lights in practically every thread on the forum...

      I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.
