Back pressure valve is at the rear of the exhaust system, right in front of the rear passenger wheel. The other cause of no start has been said to be too much grease on the contacts in the starter from what one members dealer found. They said over time the grease will wear down and the issue would go away.

Had it towed in to the shop (hooray for OnStar), and they told me that it was an Ignition Control Relay which had to be ordered in from Montreal. In the meantime my truck was left in the lot in -20 and below, and it started right up for them. They got it in the shop and replaced the ICR. They kept it for another day and left it outside so they could test it with a cold start to determine if they needed to replace the starter/battery.

 

Truck started right up. We're now 3 days into having a new truck with no issues. I'll report back if it happens again or if there are any further issues.

 

In short, get them to replace the Ignition Control Relay.

It’s not just a cold weather thing - 73 degrees in Columbus Ohio at a gas station. When I got back in the truck and tried to start it - got a click then everything went dark.  No instruments, no radio, FOD would not remote start, lock, or unlock doors - nothing.  Had two people try to help me with jumper cables - no luck.  Being Sunday my options were a wrecker or call my friend the mechanic.  I called my friend first and he recommended looking for loose connections on some plate mounted above and to the side of the battery.  There was this blue clip which had two separate bundles of wires towards the back of this terminal or bus thing mounted over the battery.  On side of that blue clip had some play in it and as I moved it side to side I could feel in sliding over the male side of this thing.  I hit the lock button on FOD and lights flashed - the truck started and has started about 5 times in my driveway since then.  Trying to figure it out, I started searching the internet and discovered recalls on my 2014 (bought it new in 2014) and see 15 recalls ranging from seat belts, loss of brakes and steering, seat belts, air bags.  Why haven’t they fixed these issues at service intervals?  I tried to tell them about no brakes and how I almost hit a car in front of me and close call rolling off a cliff  with no brakes.  What the heck GM?  Are you guys trying to make a killing by cutting corners??  Now I know not to by an American made truck that’s made in Mexico

Fun fact, tons of us are rolling around with open recalls because you can't even get those done with parts that are not available.

 

Poor dealership service if they don't notify you about recalls that could be done, it's also partly your job as a vehicle owner to maybe inquire about said recalls. Usually best to print those out so they know what you're talking about.

 

Can't really blame it all on GM here, it's the dealerships fault as well. Plus you have a "modded" vehicle per your other post, maybe that is why they don't do some of the things but who knows.

Yep, I regularly check the myChevrolet app to check for anything new ... I always get this, meaning any old recalls have already been rectified and there is nothing new, as well.
Not sure why it came up as an LD but it is what it is.

Well, some dealers, cough cough, Honda/Toyota, cough..*not covid* will notified you via mail multiple times regarding the recall. If it's a recall that could lead to death, they will keep mailing notice and keep CALLING you as well. They won't stop until you declined or it's been remedy.

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      By Newduramaxh*ar · Posted

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.

      I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
