Yeah I use the remote start as well. But sometimes I forget to blast my AC before shutting off the truck in the morning so it doesn't do much good. Plus it takes a bit for the air to get cold. Where are you in SWFL?

I'm in Bonita Springs and you?

Cannot count the number of time I said to myself 'Grumble Grumble, I wish the windows would roll up when I lock the truck by default' From a computer/logical standpoint it is pretty pointless to lock

And that's the thing. All of the windows have pressure sensors now. Anything pushes on them they go back down automatically. No reason why they can't do it. I hate having to run outside to roll u

Ha, really? That's probably the dumbest thing I've seen so far on this truck. Thanks for the info!

Wife's Honda has roll down feature. I roll down from afar and by the time I get to car it helps to cool. :happysad:

Yeah, even with the remote start I still use the fob to roll down the windows in this Texas heat.

There is a fix for that. It can be programmed to work like the previous gen trucks. I like you sometimes forgot but, when I saw they could fix it I got mine done. Now it automatically turns the a/c or heat on based on the outside temp sensor reading. That's if the system is off or on when you get out. I'll look for the #'s you need off the paper work when I get home.

To me the up option is great. Like say you're inside a building or gym and you have the windows down and want to roll them up because it's starting to rain. That's why I wanted it to roll up option, but roll down it okay to let the heat out or what not. I use remote start half of the time so either way it doesn't matter that much to me. I have the option to go up or down on the car and have used it many times for different situations.

I know MVI & Chris White/GTX.... work together for BCM updates, He can update your BCM to allow auto up, not sure if it works for the rear.

 

 

 

Nice, where are they located and can I get a cable to plus in and program it myself? I do my own programming in my car and have coded all kinds of things on it. It would be great to do the same with the truck.

Lol I figured. Well if I see a white Denali in the area I'll be sure to honk! Probably a 1/50 chance it'll be you but whatever! Haha

That's awesome! So if the temperature is 100 degrees (not unlikely this summer) it will automatically put the AC on Auto(full blast) even if I left it on Low? That's cool. Thank you!

I am the same way, they don't sale the cable or their software to allow us to do ourselves already asked this, btw BCM is sensitive. MVI and Chris White are both vendors on here, Chris is under the name GTX or GTP...... I don't remember where Chris White's physical location, I believe around the upper East coast area, maybe the Boston area don't quote me on that.

The repair order from the day I had mine reprogrammed says TSB DOC # 3160050

2014 = power fold mirrors with fob

 

2015/16 = window roll down with fob. Down only, not up.

 

 

I wish I could have the window roll down feature on my '14.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
