For the second time now in my Sierra (w/ navigation) I'm not able to hear any sound when I use my XM radio. The XM is working, because it shows the artist / song when I flip through the stations.

 

First time the truck only had 96 miles on it, I was about to drive 1,200 miles with it to Colorado so I was a litte nervous. Luckily after 70 miles it came on. I tried turning it on and off and all the BS too. Nothing.

 

Well now its not working again.

 

Never had this issue with my 2014 5.3 Sierra.

 

I have hiphop nation to listen too!

 

Anyone else?

Try this. This issue has also happened to me a couple of times. Hasn't happened in several months, though.

 

This is a link to refresh your XM signal.

Will do! Thanks for the link! I'll follow up after work tonight if it works or not.

Quick fix, this happened to me a couple of times, just tune to station 1(preview station) then when audio starts tune to your regular station.

That happened to me also and the station 1 trick worked for me.

Seems to be a common thing... happened to me a few weeks ago and then again yesterday. Both times I was parked in an area of my yard that I know doesn't get reception very well. I wonder if it has to do with "handshaking" with the sats at start up?

Could very well be. Both times it happened to me I was in a parking garage at work during startup. But when I come out of the garage there is still no volume but the song titles/artist displays as if everything is fine.

I haven't had this issue in a while. But I have the XM signal refresh phone number programmed to my phone.

 

855-MY REFRESH (697-3373).

 

If it happens again tho I'll try the station 1 trick.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
