Hi i have a 2009 Silverado 1LT ext cab. i add steering wheel controls to my truck(i purchased a brand new right button assembly and the harness that runs behind the air bag from cruise to stereo control assembly. after adding them my cruise control started acting funny(i had to tap the brakes several times to get the cruise to engage, and also the misc ignition fuse under the hood would pop imediately after putting a new one in? can someone tell me what went wrong? :help::dunno:

I see that you are having electrical issue with your Silverado. I understand that you are looking to fix this issue yourself. I am sorry that you are in this current vehicle situation.

If you were not blowing fuses and having problems before you did the installation . Then if it were me I would start by pulling everything apart and while doing so look real close to see if something went wrong. If I didn't find anything. Then I would return it to the way it was before I started. To see if I created any problems that were not there before I started the installation.

@duelin, thats correct i didnt have any issues before currently its set back to NO stereo controls no problems since.....

 

@jennifer yes. i LOVE my silverado and wasnt able to afford the HIGH DOLLAR options when i first bought it but slowly added the ones i wanted. BOSE Nav., Back up camera and bluetooth onstar module(which the GM techs here say they cant program my VIN info into) if youd like to PM me. i would like to chat more and figure this issue out.

Doesn't the BCM have to be programed for the buttons? Perhaps that could cause some of these issues?

Perhaps the controls could could confuse the BCM. Maybe you should have the dealer program the BCM for the buttons then see what happens

Same thing with the VCIM when I told them to input my VIN info into it they looked at me like I was stupid. I told them the vcim is a junk yard pull out from another chevy that wasnt a chevy silverado i think it was an equinox, so the module needed to be re-flashed to show it was a 2009 silverado and they said they had no idea how to do that or that it could be done.

BlackBetty,

Sorry, this is off topic...I've seen you mention in other posts you were looking to upgrade your VCIM to a later model to enable the remotelink app and bluetooth support. I have an '09 that came with bluetooth that appears to be no longer working. I'm contemplating replacement and wondering if you got the remotelink to work? If so, any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

I got the app to work but it was showing completely wrong info.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package.

      Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.
