Well so far it's been good, but had some issues with CarPlay today. Helping a buddy move and had it connected. It disconnected a few times and one time would not reconnect. Odd.

I have a 2016 Silverado LTZ I have had it since May 17/16 about 4.5 months. It's only happened a few times the screen goes black usually while driving, but the Sirius radio still plays uninterrupted. However my phone disconnects and reconnects after the screen starts up again, not with the MyLink boot screen but right back to the radio screen it was on. Have you gotten a solution for this yet? I am almost due for an oil change so am going to bring this up when I take it in. Also a couple times the screen will turn blue with "service backup camera" on it.

I am having a problem with my 2016 Silverado's screen blacking out several times over the past 3 weeks. It seems mostly related to having my phone plugged into the charger or even changing to a different podcast or song. It's getting frustrating. I saw a YouTube video where a guy had a similar issue and just removed and replaced the spark plug (not a new one, same one) and he said it fixed it. I've tried different charging cords but the longer this goes on, the less related it seems to charging my phone. Any tips?

Did you ever get this resolved? It sounds just like the issue I'm having

I have been having minor issues with my 2016 Tahoe Infotainment system since I purchased the vehicle new in March of 2016.  I'd planned to use an iPod for music, as I did not want to spend the money for SiriusXM.  When using the iPod I find that when starting the vehicle about one in 6 times the iPod is not recognized by the system.  This appears to happen more so when I haven't driven the vehicle for several days or even a couple of weeks.

An issue I now have is every time I start the vehicle the song shuffle function is turned off and I have to turn it on in settings.  Also the Navigation comes up with north being the up direction on the display, and I have to reset that to heads up.  I'd think these functions should come up the same as the last time the system was powered.

My dealer supposedly checked for software updates the last time it was serviced, but it was no help.

Anyone else had problems like this?

I have a 2016 Silverado and I love my truck!!! One problem I do have with it is the 8" Mylink screen goes blank at random times, it's back at the dealer for the third time. The first time they told me it needed a software update so I paid the $100 and had it done. Worked fine for 4 months and started acting up again so I brought it back. They told me it needed a software update again, needless to say the salesman and I had a heated discussion because that's the same thing I paid for a few months ago. They ended up tell me they would do another update for free. Today, 5 months later it's back at the dealer with the same problem. I hope they fix it this time or replace it!

      Bench seat swap for 2021-2024 suburban

      By davester · Posted

      probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...

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

      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.
