I have a 2016 Custom Silverado.   My radio control will not allow me to increase my radio volume.  It gets to about 35 them the volume actually starts to go down as I turn the volume up.   Anyone having this issue and if so are you aware of a solution to this?

I'm having the same issue with my 2017 Silverado custom. It's going to the dealership next week to have the recall fixed and are going to look at the radio as well. I'm hoping to get an answer as to why its happening. I will update with an answer if I get one. If you find out what is causing the problem with the volume please let me know.

My 2015 just last week started to change the radio station on its own. Pauses live radio, or just skips back a min or so in the broadcast. And when this happens the speedometer switches to the radio display. I have a video but am not sure how to post it.

Just had the issue with the volume going down all the way on its own. After reading all the posts here played with the steering wheel volume control by punching the buttons. That did the trick for me; something must have gotten stuck there.

I have the same exact problem on my '17 Sierra Elevation Edition.  Max volume seems to be around 35 or 40.  The volume decreases above 40.   Its annoying not being able to hear the radio if its raining or passing a semi on the interstate.

Sounds to me like you need your HMI updated to latest spec, pretty common, kind of annoying to do because it ties up the stall for a while programming.

Hope this helps

Just had this problem with my 17 Silverado. The volume wasn’t working properly I would turn it up to 60 and it would actually turn the volume down. Very simple fix my fellow bow tie fans, unhook the negative on your battery and let it reset for about a minute or two then throw it back on it will reset the system. Good luck guys

I have a 2015 Silverado I was driving down the road and my display with the MPH showing went from there to what was playing on my radio. I went back to the MPH and it went straight back to the radio station again. Then when I went to use the push button on the radio screen to change the channel it wouldn't change the station. I could do it manually with the knob and could change the volume with the knob. I really don't want to take it to the dealership to have them charge me an arm and a leg for something simple that I could do by myself. Does anybody have any suggestions.

I was having problems with the volume control buttons and volume knob on my 2014 Yukon.  The manual and online were no help.  I went into the Auto Volume menu and tried the buttons and knob there and they worked.  When I backed out to a radio station they still worked.  May not continue, but the volume controls are working right now.

This happened to me last week, I have a 2015 2500 diesel, my truck had been sitting for two weeks, I started it and drove it only two minutes then rolled down the windows and listened to the radio.  After 1+ hours the radio went to max, I turned it down and within 5 minutes it did it again, at that point it wouldn't turn down any more so I just shut it off.  An hour later when I went to start the truck it turned over slow like the batteries were drained.  I had the batteries and alternator check out and all were good.  So I think in my case, the radio going to max volume is an indicator telling you the batteries are starting to drain to low.  I did drive the truck for several miles after this happened to charge the batteries back up and the radio has worked fine ever since.

I've been to my dealer multiple times for this issue and still no results!

Anything that's wrong with chevy trucks between 2014-19 is "normal"

Although I did get my screen replaced and has seamed to fix my issues ( not same as your issues) but mine would change stations, switch to gps on its own( sometimes 20-30 times in a 20 minutes drive)

Could be a bad screen?

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Thanks - I wasn't quite caffeinated this morning. 2:1 makes sense, turning the crankshaft 360 degrees will turn the cam 180 degrees, and had I done that, the cam's dot would be at 6 and the crank's at 12 again.   I went ahead and took the sprocket off anyway, aligned everything dot-to-dot including the balance shaft just for s&g. I'm glad I did because I discovered no Loctite on the timing sprocket bolts. Maybe it's not required, but at only 20 ft-lb torque spec, those bolts aren't in there very tight. Cleaned and reassembled with some thread locker and torqued.   A general observation: Less is more with RTV. If a little doesn't stop a leak, a LOT probably won't, either. RTV is thinly veiled revenge, in a tube...

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.
