Do you guys know if they are cutting for access to work or because they need that part out of the way once it is fixed?

 

Seems as though they could fold the rubber back and not cut it.

 

 

My FIL needs this done and I asked him to hold off for now.

I had this done along with a new exhaust because of the "whistle" from V4 to V8. Scared to go look at the truck now... I go the truck back this morning and noticed hand prints all over the headliner full of grease,

 

going to report back on the belt though!

 

Update... :shakehead:

Second update

 

Thank to this topic, i went back to the dealership after work and spoke with the overall manager of the chain of dealerships. He is having the entire side of the seat and rubber part replaced as well as a full detail.

 

Might be worth your time checking back with them...?

If you don't have the caddie trim upgrade, its a good time LOL, since I have the caddie's already they would be buying me new panels as its all 1 piece.

 

I don't speak for all techs, but as a former MB tech I would be ashamed to work along side these hacks, and from my own personal experience at my local GM dealers even my new dealer there are hacks everywhere I have chewed their a$$, even made them pay me to take my truck and leave.

 

Can someone send me the recall I am curious if they are cutting b/c the techs don't want to R&R the panel. Its a little bit of work to R&R the seat trim but no means is it hard..... and you wonder why good techs don't work at dealers anymore I wanted to quit for years, but management sometimes forces techs do things, I was always caught crap b/c I would say NO! do it right or I am not putting my name on that repair (a client can sue the hell out of a tech and dealership), same with insurance claims wanted to pay warranty rate and use used parts I always told them to go F themselves every time (and if don't listen you will be back paying me again for diag...), you pay me to do the job correctly or I won't do it at all. Most techs need the money b/c most are hurting for money b/c they blow it. So glad I am not a tech anymore now I can afford a new Sierra Denali, before no chance in hell esp... not getting a GM employee discount as a MB tech.

Glad to hear it, I am in conversations with GM Managers now and will probably have to wait. Had to deal with some inept GM 'ambassadors' who would not even believe me there is 2 fixes. I had to go pull up the Recall Bulletin from April from NHSTA.

If anyone is curious tell them to look up 15822 in their system and read it. I am pushing for the unsold fix but would accept this as a solution too.

It is part of the recall to cut the rubber. I'm not sure why as it does not get in the way of the bracket. It's not just techs not wanting to take the trim off. But some of the cuts I've seen are really bad.

Have you noticed better shifting since your exhaust was replaced?

Update 2: have to wait til Monday to hear back from regional manager as per unsold solution.

 

I have also filed complaints with NHTSA and Transport Canada with whom they are required to file and are the governing bodies for recalls. I have alerted them both to the amount of people that are opting out of this due to GMs shoddy solution which they asked me to do when we spoke on the phone.

Yep, I'm not taking mine in until GM comes up with a better solution.

This. Went to have my oil changed and they told me the recall needed to be done. Told them not to touch it. They said they make clean cuts and I told them they ain't cutting a damn thing on my truck.

 

Shame on GM for not producing a new matching trim part to be used.

Checked my truck after seeing this post and it appears that my truck came with this already installed. No ridiculous cuts. The large round black piece sits just inside the factory cut black rubber nice and neat.14 AT 2 1/2 years old. Anyone else? bought mine new from a dealership.

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
