Bowtie logo on DIC in GMC Sierra

Has anyone else noticed a Chevrolet bowtie logo in the DIC of their GMC during initial screen start up? When I unlock the door and then open it, the DIC and the 8" infotainment screen are both in the startup stages and showing logos. This weekend, I happened to notice that the DIC has the bowtie logo during the initial start up.

Has anyone else seen this? Is there perhaps a software update the corrects this? It's obviously not a functional issue but it is an OCD issue!

 

My truck is a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab. It was on the dealer lot in January of 2014 but sat until I grabbed it in late November. I'm hoping this was just an early software load and is fixed in newer releases.

A while back, there was an ecu update. Dealers updated customers trucks and vehicles which were still on the dealer lot. I forget what the update was for.

 

Basically, your dealer is an idiot and uploaded the update for a Chevy instead of the GMC update. It won't hurt anything except for having the chevy stuff on the dic and radio screen.

 

Just go back to the dealer and have them upload the correct software.

The update was called the "peek in" update. There was an issue under some conditions where the odometer mileage shown at "peek in" (or when you open the door, prior to inserting key and turning to acc or start) did not match the running odometer mileage reading. There was a software update that was "challenging" for some dealers where they downloaded the wrong splash screen. My dealer fixed a GMC that had a Cadillac splash screen.

The dealer's service guy was just lazy when updating it and didn't care to mention that they screwed up. They're supposed to go off the VIN and some just used whatever they had. Go in and show them and they'll fix it.

@Haider320, it is blue rather than red. Thanks for the info everyone. I'll set up an appointment at the local dealer and get them to update it.

I almost wish my truck had the blue silverado radio screen with its customization options. Might look funny with all the other red lights though.

I'm partial to blue anyways, would be an even cooler touch if you had a blue Chevy or red GMC. I remember someone saying they bought the Chevy just because they liked the blue instead of red and I kind of went "wow, that was the deciding factor?" lol. It probably wasn't, but seemed like from how he said it.

Go the DIC flashed to the GMC variant yesterday. Feeling much better about it now.

New wheels arrived on Monday and the tires go on sale in two weeks so the look keeps getting better.

      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.
