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!

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
