2014 Silverado. I accidentally pulled off the cover. Now the microphone is loose and I can't put pressure on the back of the unit to snap the cover back in place. Any suggestions?

I pulled out my trusty tool - the fingernail. I got tired of people saying "What did you say", so I was probing and pulling to see if I could see the microphone and it just popped off. The good news is people hear me much better when I am stopped, but it rattles when moving.

Start pulling trim off so you can get your hand behind it. Its not very difficult to drop a headliner, especially if you just need to drop it enough to get a hand back there.

 

 

...be careful not to crease it.

x2 on this. Gotta pull enough trim off that you can get a hand above the headliner.

As in the trim around the door? I'm not very handy when it comes to vehicles.

I havent looked at the 2014-2016's but if its anything like the last few body styles you'll need to unbolt the holy $#!^ handle if you have one on the roof (there should be two bolts, probably 8 or 10mm under some small plastic covers) and probably a good idea to pull your A-Pillar trim (the plastic trim beside the windshield). If you have a holy $#!^ handle on the a-pillar trim, it will be bolted through the handle. If no trim, its probably just held in with plastic clips and can be pulled to remove.

This happened except one day when I was driving the grille popped off by itslef. I tried putting it back up there, but I couldn't and I ended up breaking the mic. Had to have my dealer replace it. They had to pull down the headliner.

Drop it off at the dealer and ask them to pop it back in. If you're within the 3yr/36k, then they should do it free of charge.

I did the same thing to my 2014, I just pulled off the overhead console and used one hand to push the pieces back together with a little super glue. I had pulled mine out because it looked loose and ended up having to solder the two wires back to the mic.

I brought it into the dealer today. I was about 1000 miles out of my warranty. They told me the charge would be .3-.5 hours labor, so I said go ahead. After about an hour the service tech came out and sad he was putting it together when he accidentally pulled the entire microphone out. They had to order a new microphone and will install tomorrow free of charge. Even though it was their fault (accident) they have treated me good. Thanks for all the input.

How did you get it done. It happened to my truck as well and I have no idea how to fix it.

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
