I've been begging them for the flash WLC. My cousin is a sr salesman out there and can't get them to do anything either. I'm about to give up on this and just roll with some rigid DOT fogs lol.

Amazing that this information still hasn't disseminated to some dealers.

Dealerships deal and forget.Sad we can't put part of the purchase price in escrow until the warranty period is over. Dealers would aim to please!

Now that is an idea! Too bad we probably won't ever see that happen!

I had my bulbs replaced last week and the BCM update done. I now notice that the outside temperature reading is not reading the right degrees. Over on the Duramax Forum they are saying the IPC needs a software update also. Has anyone noticed that their outside temperature is off? Mine is off by about 5 degrees and was always right on before the BCM update.

Haven't noticed that, but they did have to relearn all my tire pressure monitors after the update. They were all double dashes. I guess I'll have to pay a little closer attention to the temp.

 

I do remember reading something about someones displaying in Celsius when it was set to Fahrenheit for a day or so. They told him it would switch back in a day or two and apparently it did.

 

If it is still off after a week, I'd let them know.

Well I found out that my air box wasn't put back in correctly after my headlight upgrade. Took me a little while to put it back in but I managed. This is definitely something everyone who gets this upgrade done should check.

Same issue happened to my truck after the BCM flash....... Took my truck back in to service dealer and they had to reflash the BCM to correct the temp. sensor output ..... All working okay now.

IIRC, Duramax uses a different sensor for the amb temp

Been a couple of weeks since the upgrade and I must say, it's way better than what it used to be.

So what is the verdict with the new bulbs and BCM flash? Are they much better than the modified 9011s? I put them in and saw a good improvement over the stock 9012s.

Same here. Also check the hose clamp. Mine was completely loose, but at least they had the hose snapped back over the air box. Could have been sucking in all kinds of dust/dirt out here where I live. No excuse for this stuff.

Well, my bulbs are still NOT in. My dealership ordered them, but only one was sent. That was just as they started getting all on backorder. Well, one came and that was all. Headlamps require two. Why ship just one? I have called the dealership about 3 times - still on back order. It has been over 6 weeks now. Come on, GM, lets get this going!!

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
