Well if it is the antennae cable is that too hard to replace for a DIY? Did the company who said it was the antennae cable have a recommendation on what would be a better cable type/connection to use? If so it may be at least a way to remedy the situation if GM does not feel there needs to be a fix.

If the company will send me a cable or tell me were to buy one I will install it myself.

I think it is a little thicker(more shielding) and has connectors with tighter fit to the cable. You can try calling or e mailing the Ibiquity people. It is their tech they should have a recommendation.

I have sent an e-mail to Ibiquity, I will also contact my dealer tomorrow to see if they can get me a better antenna cable. Thanks for the info.

replacing the antenna would be extremely easy

 

replacing the antenna cable is not that hard but will take a long time, and gm radios have always had cheap antenna wires and had great reception.

 

Has anyone done anything that has improved reception with the intelli-stink radio???

I reset my presets after turning off HD, still lost the signal but it wasn't as bad.

If the shielding issue is just at the connections wrapping aluminum foil around the connection will help. It is crude way of fixing an issue but it worth a shot. I will try to find the cable over the weekend.

I agree with 02SierraZ71 about Black03Yukon, the only one that is wasting their time is you.

If the thread doesn’t affect you, then stop commenting.

Thanks klrrdr for your help.

Have talked at length to service manager about this. received an e-mail from Ibiquity saying thanks for your feedback. Does anyone have a contact name and number for Ibiquity technical support. I would like for them to give me the name and part number of an after market antenna cable I could try. I believe that my dealer will even help with installation.

      I love my truck but

      Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I do like it. I wonder if they'll bring back Smokey Quartz Metallic? 🤔 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/here-is-the-all-new-2027-gmc-sierra-1500/

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.
