Hey all! Disappointed that my first post is going to be a negative one but i'm curious to see if anyone else is having this issue.

 

2016 Silverado All-Star edition. Since I purchased the truck on 12/31, I've had this issue six times. You start the truck and the 8" Mylink screen is blank. No power - cant turn it on, no radio, etc. It's happened under different scenarios, after remote start, key start, etc.

 

it's back at the dealer for the second time. They called me and said there's software updates to fix this issue. The salesman indicated that this is a big issue on 2016 Chevy's - cars and trucks.

 

Anyone else have this issue on their 2016? I've read about 14's and 15's, you'd think a 2016 would already have the updates.

 

I love the truck otherwise!

This is off topic a bit but I wanted to see if anyone reading these radio related posts might be familiar with a radio problem I am having. I have 2015 GMC Sierra and since installing new HID headlights I can't assign stations to all my presets. I can only use certain radio presets numbers and on top of that I can't assign any XM stations as presets.

14's and 15's have different radios, so software fixes for them do not apply to the 16's and vice versa. Also fixes are only applied as problems are reported. When it comes to software and hardware versions, don't assume you have the latest unless dealer confirms it.

So far haven't had issues since the software updates.

That's good to hear. I've had issues with CarPlay, but I don't believe it's directly related to what you were experiencing. Do you know what they updated on your truck? If they simply updated the MyLink, what software version did they update it to? Should be in your Settings.

What issues have you had with CarPlay? I had one issue where it disconnected and reconnected but haven't had it happen again. I believe they just updated the MyLink software. I'll get the software version tomorrow.

Got the truck back from the dealer on Monday. At first they told me they replaced a module but apparently that wasn't the case. The paperwork says an issue in the x275 connector under the dash near the hood release. Pin 11 was misaligned causing the issue. So far, its working fine - but we'll see.

 

Took about a week last time for it to act up again.

They use the term screen won't wake up. My 16 is good but my 14 had the problem and the update fixed the screen and created numerous issues that they couldn't fix.

it happened on my 14, more times than I can remember. 3 days after driving it home. Each time it blacked out, I still had a working radio.. As in even though it was black, I could guess where buttons were and change stations. Only thing that didn't work was the volume nob. The steering wheel controls worked fine.

 

Every time I took it in, they said it's called 'logic lock' and their fix was to see if there was an update and or disconnect the battery. I don't like the morons there and if I kept band-aid-ing a broken item at my job, I'd get fired.

 

So when it happened again, I took it there while it was black. Left it running so they could see it not working. I wasn't taking another update fix anymore. I was adamant about what they've done prior wasn't working. They had my truck for a week replaced the hmi screen and a cable. Was good for a month and it happened again.

 

Took it back, they had it for another week and replaced other stuff and calibrated the door switch? Whatever they did seemed to do the trick. Haven't had the problem in months. Knock on wood.

 

I'll dig up my paper work to see what they replaced if it helps.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
