So the updates were all done ASAP this morning at my local GM dealer.   And the update #13257 covered this defect as a reprogram. "BCM Communication Error". I figure it's to do with an engine run si

here is the new starter pt # 12655055

 

Just a followup--mine was built in early January in Mexico and it has the new starter:

I'm guessing that means everybody with a truck built around that time or later likely has the new starter as well and should have no problems related to it. It is possible to check with it on the vehicle as you can see, but it's not all that easy. I stuck my phone in there and started taking blind pics until I grabbed the part number.

Hi folks... this ignition problem just started for me this morning. No moisture (rain), dry conditions and sunny. Since I got my 14 Rado last February, I felt a weirdness in the ignition but couldn't figure out what it was. This morning, I got nothing on three attempts then it started as usual. I backward read the posts here (yes I'm lazy) to see if a solution has been implemented. It appears that it hasn't.

This is my third Silverado and my two previous models have been completely problem free... I feel that this 2014 model will be problematic.. not happy with all the problem issues on the Net.

Anybody having issues related to the "Theft Deterrent" system causing it to not start? I have less than 1,000 miles on my new '14 Silverado dbl cab & I've had it not start at least a half dozen times now in the last week & the DIC just flashes a Theft Deterrent msg on it & the truck doesn't start. I turn the key back off, open the door & lock & unlock the doors with the power lock button on the drivers door & have had pretty good luck with it starting after that. Sometimes it stays running just fine, other times it stays running & the theft deterrent light stays on until I get to my destination & shut the truck off.

Today was the worst it's been, this far. I had it happen 4 times today, each time it failed, I was ultimately able to get it started, but had to play with it for almost 5 minutes each time to find something that got it to turn over(locking and unlocking the doors, opening the door closing the door, locking and unlocking your steering wheel, etc.)

I haven't had a chance to get it into the dealer yet. I will be scheduling an appt this week, but any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Purchased new 2014 Silverado, 2wd, 8 foot bed, 5.3 on 1/10/2015 with 12 miles on it. With in ten miles of use then cold morning temps placed key in ignition one click then blacked out gauges then 2nd try it started. The next day cold in morning four attempts before starting(one click black out dash) The next morning four attempts again each time one click blacked out dash! Went to dealer and it already has new starter put in because of build date. So begins checking software and resistance of battery cables! Dealer could not produce the event he had the truck for two days and is keeping it for now. I went to try it my self and it started in 10 degree temps on1/17/2015 ! Unhappy five time GM owner will keep at it and let you know.

This sounds to me like a bad connection in the wiring somewhere. Not necessarily battery cables though.

New to this.

I have a 2015 gmc 3500 hd single wheel. I have 6.5 BDS lift on it with 35 inch tires. I put the lift on with 2000 km on the truck. Now I have 43000 km on it.

Iv seen some post about some 1/2 tone trucks with vibration problems

Well on my 2015 im getting vibration from 60 mph and around 75 mph. Any one Elsa having this or can help with find out what it is

It's not the tires I put the stock tires on and it's doing the same thing

Update on Silverado long bed 2WD Starting issues, Checked battery cables per my request and Dealer reprogramed computer( Said it accepted the information )I don't know what that means cause the truck only had 12 miles on it to begin with! Was it not programed correctly at the factory?

Michael. Mitchell.1029, I have a 2014 crew cab slt with 20" wheels. I get a pronounced hum/vibration between those speeds as well. Dealer is baffled. Been fighting it since the first week over a year ago. Test drove other trucks and noise isn't in all of them. I'm thinking differential, but who knows.

I Purchased My 2014 Silverado New, With in the first week, I experienced Electrical Dash board issues, No screen, system

resets. Messages Like open drivers window and Close, Anti theft deterrent disabled. the worst is turning the key and No starting. Dealer says they found no problems, during these visits. its been 4 years and still acts up. It seems random but sometimes goes thru what ever it fails to start. waiting then attempting to start again works but it is getting old. if I trade again it won't be for another GM vehicle. I have replaced the battery and cleaned all my connections including the grounds. it still occasionally repeats the starting issue.  I find the issue happens no mater how cold or warm it is, or dry or wet.

Have you checked the battery cables themselves? Some were known to have bad terminations, as in the cable terminal wasn’t installed correctly or was pinching down on the cable insulation instead of the actual copper wire.  Other well known issue is the distribution block for the positive.  Do a search on here, lots of people with very similar issues had their problems resolved by replacing these.

Had the exact same issues on my truck, its been a year since it was fixed and so far no more problems. A couple of small glitches with MyLink but nothing like before. My issue ended up being the negative battery cable, the whole cable needed to be replaced, battery was replaced at the same time and the body ground was cleaned.  Don't know if you have tried replacing the entire negative cable yet, but it could be a solution to your problems. It is a bummer that you have had to deal with issues for 4 years. Best of luck!

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      This landing is worse than most. Patchy blacktop with washouts, soft gravel/sand at bottom that washes out with every heavy rain. I tell everyone to put it in 4WD. A lot of them think they can pull out their trailer in 2WD. They end up digging a hole and then putting it in 4WD.  The lake is a pristine lake and has a lot of money on it. There are several wake boats and lot of large tritoons. The people with the money don't want it improved because they don't want more traffic.    Boat Landing 1.jfif Boat Landing 2.jfif Boat Landing 3.jfif

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      How wide are your rims?   Toyo specs 8.5-10.0-11.0 inches. My thought would be rim might be pulling the tire inwards creating a center that is more pronounced.    I also noticed that the spec sheet says max 65psi. So you could be right lowering the pressure to ~40 psi.
