Took mine yesterday and had this recall preformed. I was there 30 minutes total. The DIC was set on the radio screen when it was done as well.

When I got mine back after the recall was done mine was also set to the radio screen. Periodically now when I start it back up it seems again at the radio screen in the DIC. Not sure what is triggering it. Additionally, the "best mpg" or highest or whatever it is called was not showing at all. (25/50/100) didn't matter. So I reset it. Which I hated to do. It seems to be working now. I haven't had it default back to radio since then yet either. So, will see what happens in the next week or so. I have to go back anyway as some of the issues I originally took it in for were not fixed/resolved.

HI,

 

I'm taking my truck tonight to get the recall. Please let me know if the reprogram the HMI. The reason I ask is because I update the HMI to have navigation and if the dealer reprogram the HMI they will delete the navigation features. Thanks,

 

 

The only thing they're reprogramming is the airbag module, nothing else. Some people have mentioned that the computer was reset by unhooking the battery terminal. So you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Mine on the other hand wasn't reset. Thankfully all of the radio presets and settings don't get reset. Seems like the only thing that gets reset is the DIC screen in the gauge cluster. I keep mine on Trip A and when it gets reset it will be on music. No big deal since it only takes a couple seconds to change it back on Trip A.

I was recently in an accident where another driver tried to frogger across 3 lanes of traffic and i hit her at 40 mph with the front right of my truck. It caused about 18K in damage, including having to replace the frame. However, the airbags didnt go off. Both me and my passenger recieved some neck/shoulder/spine injuries from the accident. Should I contact someone at GMC or talk to a lawyer? Or is it just going to fall on deaf ears?

Since you and the passenger got injuries with your neck and spine I would defiantly give it a shot. But, be ready if GM or someone on here says that from how or where you were hit that the airbags wouldn't have went off either way.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
