Well truck has been in service now 3 times since Wednesday. First 2 times they said bad connections somewhere. Nope not it. Took it back yesterday with same issue. Told them I was not happy driving with an air bag problem. How can I feel safe driving it when service manager tells me it could be possibly that it doesn't go off in an accident. Well great. Thus truck been in service 8 times fir 3 warranty issues since September 2013. And an additional 5 or 6 recalls..been the worst mistake I have made buying a new chevy truck fir ne first new vehicle...never again...

I bought an '09 Chevy ls, that had the same service airbag warning. Thee times I told them about it while it was in for an oil change, I just got told I need to make an appointment. When it got around freezing temperature, my light would go off, but once the weather warmed up, it was back on

sounds like you got a lemon hope it works out maybe call gm customer service seems like with that many trips back to the dealer they would just buy it back.

I don't mess around with airbag lights, my first 05 had one go off sitting in driveway all bye itself, gm took care of it,

I am dealing with it, contacted the BBB also, sounds like a major safety issue to me..

I WOULD DEFINITELY GET AN ATTORNEY INVOLVED IN THIS ONE, BEING SAID YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AT RISK OF WHAT? A DEALERSHIP NOT FIXING OR ADDRESSING AN ISSUE.

 

LET THE LOCAL TEAM NEAR YOUR TOWN KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.

 

BEST OF LUCK..

 

 

Hopefully it is a small town dealership that everyone knows , so it can draw some attention.

 

In California , any legal team would like this case!

morely8065 - BBB services companies that want to look as though something will be done when they are contacted, BBB has no horsepower. The better option is the NHTSA, they will review your case and drop the hammer if determined to be a major safety issue. Look them up and file a claim, be detailed and dramatic when you report.

Forget the lawyer bit, they'll just take your money. You'll get good response if you go this route (BBB_Autoline). Just be factual and you'll get a actionable response from GM.

Wrong advice, BBB Autoline works.

I agree, I looked up the NHTSA and didn't feel that was the right road to take...

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
