My truck is currently stuck in auto 4wd, dealership is to busy to get it in. Might be able to look at it as an emergency Monday am. I tried disconnecting the negative terminal, and didn't fix it. Strange part is none of my radio presets were erased after disconnecting negative terminal either, possibly didn't leave it disconnected long enough.

I have the same problem and just got done posting a long narrative about my ordeal under another topic heading. The long story short is I was told about the service bulletin and the same BS about have

Had similiar to this happen to me early this week. Drove about 80 miles in 4wd (tthrough the bad ice/snow storm Tennessee got). Next morning, truck idled rough, vibrated a little while driving. Mid afternoon took it out of 4wd and back to 2wd. Noticed it was still steering heavy and I could feel the front end still pulling a little and intermittently jerking.

 

Went to a big parking lot and back up, turning wheels left and right while backing up. No noticeable sound or feeling during but as soon as I drove forward I could tell I was definitely in 2wd now.

 

Never any messages in dash, no lights. But it was definitely still in 4wd even though truck dial indicated 2wd and I got the notification message about "switching 4wd mode" when I moved the dial from 4wd to 2wd.

Mine goes in tomorrow to reprogram but dealer hasn't heard of a fix! I mentioned PIP5220B but they haven't gotten any fix for cold temperatures causing 4 x 4 trouble except the same one which has to have the truck put back in 2 wd before shutdown!!!! Almost 3 months now!

same issue on 2015 canyon, goes back to clear codes tomorrow

I was wondering how long it would take for the Canyon and Colorado issues to start showing up. I was hoping GM would have been all over this for the new trucks, but I guess I shouldn't have got my hopes up.

Had my truck reprogrammed today and dealer said that they have been using PIP5220B and the trucks are still coming back with the same issues and codes! So much for a fix!

I dropped off mine today after it threw codes this weekend. Showed up unannounced abd left with a loaner. This is the fourth visit. The third visit they replaced a switch in/on the transfer case then discovered that the harness pins were not seated correctly.

Received a call last Thursday. A GM engineer called my local dealer(Chicago area) and said they are going to be mailing out a new part, I don't recall what the was called. Hope that this part works, stuck in 4hi currently.

Had mine at the dealer in Feb. for this. Cleared codes, and "we'll call when we have a fix"

 

I got called tuesday. Truck goes in friday. Tech says they are replacing the module. Won't know if it's really fixed untill next winter if it's the cold temps that make it screw up.

My part is somehow still on order. I have been leaving it in auto to see if it would happen again, but with warmer weather no issues.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I Wouldn't Know Where to Begin    Oh I know where I would begin but I'm just one of over eight billion people on this rock. Eight billion versions of where the goal post is. How large it should be. How far to kick from. What ball is the right ball. Elevation. Age.....are you getting the point? It isn't about disagreeing with one individual. It's about agreeing only with one individual. One's self.   Agreement comes when multiple people hold the same point already. THAT is the goal of an education. Building the Social Contract. That thing that allows us to all read this sentence. We've agreed on the alphabet and how to arrange those letters into words we agree upon whose meanings hold true for everyone entering into that contract. Those words arranged into a sentence form an idea and several sentences strung together in a paragraph convey an argument for or against or inform the reader of a state, condition or perhaps reveal a things nature. Paint a word picture. Make oneself known.    This contract is not limited to words although they are often explained by words. Things like numbers and their usefulness. Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Music, Art and so on.    The frequency of middle C (C4) is 261.63 Hz. We build on that to make music we all can enjoy even if we all can not compose or play. You don't have to master it to make it enjoyable and useful.    So why is the Beginning so difficult? Why is agreement so elusive?   Everyone "Signs" the contract (when receiving that education in obtaining it)  but fewer and fewer in this world have any intention of living by that contract. They find exploiting that contract more advantageous. Disruption. With intent. Without intent. In Ignorance. In your face. With a double dog dare you. With a hold my beer. In resistance to that contract and in spite how it looks on us. It permeates the very air we breath.    In this way the contract is subject o advantage. Abide by it when it serves you, disregard it when it doesn't. Unpredictable and self-serving. Corrosive.....Toxic........   It says a lot about a persons character to disregard the contract, the truth, first principles. None of it good.        ********************************************************   https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/character-vs-personality-who-we-are-and-who-we-aspire-to-be/   Just an interesting article.

      It costs $5,250 for the Yukon Nightfall option (black wheels, emblems and illuminated black GMC grill badge). What a "deal".

      Android auto could not connect

      By Ralph Reale · Posted

      I keep getting the above error message on my 25 Sierra.  If I reset the infotainment unit (via the phone hang up button) it will work again for a day or 2.   But I dont want to do have to reset  all the time. Works fine in my 2023 Corvette. On both vehicles I connect wirelessly.   I have a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, phone is up to date.  Any Ideas.  See attached

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      LOL, its thrown a few people because this item is being talked about in the gas part of the HD forum. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to put a very brief wording in your profile with the year/GM or Chev/2500 or 3500/ and yes the 6.6 Duramax. When I joined this forum I could see the confusion ensuing for my own truck unless I had it listed with my chosen name handle unless one has a few vehicles that apply to a GM forum as that becomes confusing as well. Anyway its all good, makes for a little forum excitement 😉

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Gasgacinch, James Gaskets. Good stuff. High tac to help hold the gasket in place while assembling parts. Fills minor surface imperfections. Slightly elastic. Gasoline / coolant / oil proof. Very handy stuff. Nothing like RTV.
