Oh no this perfect vehicle has one problem. The blind spot monitors and the rear crossing monitors, run on the same frequency as police radar. Your detector will give 1 to 2 full time bogeys unless you disable these 2 features. Oh GM, why'd you do this? All our other cars including my 2015 GMC Denali diesel pickup, 2013 Mercedes, 2015 Range Rover, 2013 Porsche, do not use the police radar frequency for these features.

This is such a big problem with the valentine radar. Even though I disabled one of the bands as valentine tech support told me, I constantly get false k band going off. It is to the point I ignore it all together and am thinking of going to passport radar. I have an ltz suburban 15.

update. Valentine had me send my unit in for Firmware upgrades. They claim there is an option you can enable within the upgrade that will remove the problem. www.valentine1/com/lab/techreport3.asp. Will switching to passport work? Seems unlikely as as all a radar detector does is receive radio signals. It logics that Passport would have the same problem as GM is using a police radar frequency for their blind spot monitors and rear crossing monitors.

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Auto start stop disable

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
