They replaced both of the boards (radio control and HVAC control) listed above, but the prices they listed for parts are no where near these prices. Go figure.

Thanks for clarifying. I thought I was looking at something different for a while there.

Anyone had the radio nob rings and hvac controls replaced since installing the factory nav HMI module. Do they have to reflash the HMI to get the backlights to work?? Do you lose the nav?

I would not think so, the HMI and boards are separate from each other. The stock boards were just missing LEDs, that's all. Swapping an HMI should not affect which lights turn on or off, as all the dealer will do is swap the affected circuit board parts.

the wife picked up the truck from the dealership today after getting the light issue fixed. (it also had the latest recall done) they all work now, and It was easy peasy. I had just told them that I had noticed they weren't working and that a truck on the show floor had them working. here is a picture of the service order,

Yes. Silverado early builds only knobs missing illumination around radio and HVAC controls on dual climate control units. Not a Sierra problem - they are not missing illumination.

Anyone have any updates if they've been trying to get them repaired. I've notified my servicing dealer, and am waiting for the next scheduled maintenance before I push a little harder to have it all done at once.

The way GM is brushing off most of the Silverado owners who may want their LED rings illuminated, I'll likely also look elsewhere for future vehicles. Yes, I know all makes have issues. That's not the point. This GM is turning out to be more and more like the old GM. No surprise, really. People paying a pile of money for these things, and GM won't even consider making things right by their customers, it seems. Time will tell. I'll update when I get a final answer from them. For GM to spend around $500 on parts/labor to fix their own mistake, should be a no-brainer. Then, again, they didn't want to replace ignition switches nearly 10 years ago, either.

I've still not gotten mine replaced, but it's not entirely due to GM. I told my dealer that I'd just have it done on my next service visit with the oil change, tire rotation, recall/computer updates/transmission line checks. I talk to them every so often just to keep if fresh and they say they haven't gotten a definitive answer from GM yet. Not sure how to take that, but it sounds like someone is trying to put it off long enough that I'll forget or give up. I did PM GM Customer Service up here, as they stated to do, about having it done either by me or other means if I wanted. Hopefully they will have good news. I just hope GM makes things right by the people who ask to have it done, as it should have been from factory. Other than the lights, I'm completely satisfied with my truck and have had no problems. Over 11,000 happy miles and counting.

Based on the latest document that was posted from GM does anyone know when the "2nd Design" (with the lit knobs) went into production?

 

Is there a definitive date, or is it still at GM's discretion?

Mine was built in April of 2014 and came with the LEDs.

See a pcture of the bulletin in post #183. There is no date cutoff. It just says however your radio/HVAC knob illumination was delivered is correct. They advise dealers to take no further action. In other words, there is no defect, just a runnung change.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
