Couldn’t find a better place to post this, although it might belong in another topic.

 

Just wanted to pass along some info on trouble I had with my ’14 Silverado.

 

All of a sudden I started getting “Service Stabilitrak” messages pop up in my message center in between the tach and speedo. When this happened, there would be a ding, the message would appear and then the steering wheel would jerk uncontrollably and unstoppable force left and right about 25 degrees several times. It happened once while I was parked and had just started the vehicle, then started doing it while I was driving. The end all to having it brought to the dealer for diagnostics was the day I was driving home from work and it did it repeatedly 8- 10 times throughout the 8.5 mile drive home. Called the dealer as it was doing it, and scheduled it in for the next day.

 

After the dealer running diagnostics on it, the entire problem stemmed from the positive battery terminal being loose.

 

Just wanted to post this issue so that if anyone was having freaky issues that come and go concerning the info center and operations of the truck they should check their battery cables.

 

I was told by the dealer to stop adding aftermarket stuff to the truck as the computer systems are so sensitive that any variance in voltage with cause havoc with the function of the truck.

 

I believe the battery terminal issue stemmed from having LED reverse lights installed which I have posted earlier to having issues with those causing the factory reverse lights stop working.

 

Now they are only wired to the battery direct and work via toggle switch…….

glad you got it fixed but if the positive terminal was loose no offense but that was probably just user error. no dealer likes people putting aftermarker stuff on but it is what it is.

if your dealer doesent want you adding aftermarket stuff, your going to the wrong dealer
If I pay 50K for a truck, Im going to do what I want with it. Really not sure how a loose battery terminal makes your steering wheel turn itself or all that you described, and surely some led lights have nothing to do with any of that
I think your service writer enjoys sarcasm too much

Is it safe to assume this is the same oil or close enough as used at the dealer? (to avoid switching back and forth)

and shots from the rear and side from say 20 feet?

 

Installed my Borla cat back system.

Yes it's just oil. I'll only put 0W-20 in this truck, dexon approved.

    • It took me a minute, but I got it.😆
    • I have A 2020 1500 5.3 8 speed. LTZ. Transmission problems since 60,000 miles. Started when I go to store in morning to get my morning coffee before work leave truck running get back in put it in drive/ rev no movement step on gas a little slams into gear. Put in neutral step on gas little shake then put in gear and gose.  Shut truck off start .. ok now at stop light stop truck after a few seconds feel a little kick if that doesn’t happen stuck in 3/4 gear shut truck off wait few seconds and start usually ok again. If you down shift manually ok as long as you get into 1st before stop. If not it kicks . I WANT A NEW TRANSMISSION. Now I want a new truck it just hit 80,000 IDK IF ILL BUY CHEVY CAUSE THEY STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO RECALL . Oh I’ve changed the fluid and filter 3 times now. And yes used mobile 1 not ac/delco cause it’s not meeting the requirements that mobile is did use ac/delco filter 
    • Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.     
    • I'm looking at carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand and lumbar fusion. 
    • While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
