Just my luck, Daiblo Tune and new exhaust and headlight (Sylvania) are the only mods. Did the diablo Tune screw with the outside temperature gauge? I only saw it after a long trip its 80 out now, and only have 2200 miles on the truck. I disconnected the battery and still no change. Ill try it out tomorrow but should I just put the stock tune in and take it to the dealer? Thanks

Flashing a tune with my diable always resets my outside temp to 0c(32f) after a couple short drives it seems to start working again.

Yes, the Diablo tuner will reset it to 32 degrees (as will disconnecting the battery). Should change to normal after a short drive above 40 - 45 MPH. I actually saw mine start climbing after 15 minutes of driving at 45-50. This is normal.

I had the same problem but I think mine was from not driving it enough. I took it to the dealer and they said there was nothing wrong with it and that it worked perfectly. However they gave me a copy of this sheet before I left. I've found that freeway driving makes it reset a lot quicker. Since there's nowhere in my town that I can drive above 20mph non stop for 5 miles I just hit the highway and at 70mph it resets in about two miles. I don't get it but it works.

Looks like it's happening to the Hypertech Max Energy  2.0 also.  Temp was fine before the time.  We'll see if it climbs up after a longer test drive.  I called them, said they never heard of it....time will tell

This happens every time I program my truck. Then it goes back to normal by the next morning. Even had it happen after the dealer did an update.

I just got back from the test drive and it started working after about 10min of driving.  I think it's related to pulling the airbag/info fuse, thats the Onstar fuse for a 2016 Silverado. Must have the temp sensor running through it, my guess anyway.  Just has to reset.

The outside temp sensor is in the front grill, has nothing to do with Onstar. Purely from either pulling the battery or from flashing the vehicle.

Could be, who knows. The fuse reads "info/airbag"..who knows what runs through the circuit without a diagram. And I'm very aware where the temp sensor is but that was irrelevant.

I wrote it up as normal on a reboot considering it happens every time. 

Thanks for your thoughts

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I imagine the cold winters up here with repeated short runs in town every day for those that live and work in town and given what I have come to learn on this forum with DI engines having fuel dilution issues, and if they don't change the oil until it says to but keep driving it for a while, I bet all that is just lovely on those finicky lifters.

      AWD conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      I just did some reading and Stabilitrak is more than a what I had originally thought. It is more of a vehicle control system to help the driver in precarious situations. I thought it was only the AWD system. Now I know. So I changed the title for this thread to AWD conversion to Z71

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.
