I installed the kit myself and just need to program the fobs....the dealership wants $180 just to program the fobs....yikes!
I called a local locksmith and they want $75.....i'm assuming its the same thing? they said they can program the keyfobs, so I guess i'll give it a shot...??
 
***DISREGARD*** HAS TO BE DEALER DUE TO PROGRAMMING- thanks

They have to flash the BCM, correct?

next the harness runs along still following the hood release cable. The factory instructions say to only put the harness through 2 of the 3 clips on the side of the engine bay but I put it through all

Now you route the green wire to the black plug on the bcm and plug it into pin 24, pin 24 may or may not have a green and brown striped wire already in it that you will need to remove and tape back. T

Not yet. I reached out to a local dealer and played dumb just inquiring about adding remote start. The parts guy didnt come off as very knowledgable and said he couldn't see it for my truck despite me

The green arrow is pointing to the wire I removed and the red arrows point to the wire from the harness I connected in its place.

 

After this you are done accept for dealer programming and applying some automotive silicone sealer to the point where the harness enters the cab through the grommet to seal the cut you made.

 

I hope this helps some of you guys, If you have any other questions I will try to answer them

So do I have to remove a kick panel under the steering wheel to access this body control module block?

Greetings. Just wondering if it's normal for the check engine light to come on after installing my hood latch kit. I did have to remove the green brown wire from pin 24 to insert my green wire. Scheduled an appt to have remote start activated and fobs programmed in a couple days. Was just curious if the check engine light on is normal until I have it programmed? Thabks so much...

Greetings. I am throwing a code now I am guessing cause there is nothing plugged into the plug that was from the original hood latch. Does something get done from the dealer when I get the remote start activated or do I need to do some thing with the old wires and plug? Attached is the error I pulled from the computer thank you!!!

Note differences in wiring between Accesory install and 2017 OE install. Acc is 2014 -2016 only.

I would suggest you reinstall original latch and reinstall original wire into bcm.

2019 kit comes with fob's and a code for programming. No wiring required. Dealer has to program.

I did my 2017 2500 a couple of weeks ago. I bought the remote start kit from the dealer and installed it myself and had the dealer program it.

With the new latch does your trucks vehicle information center show the hood open If it’s not fully latched now?

If it's a new install you have to have it programed first then it shows up.

Just wondering as I have a 2018 and I have the latch with the three wires and the same part number, but mine doesn’t have any message in the DIC when the hoods open.

I just successfully enabled the remote start in my 2500HD.  It came with a few snags.

 

I installed a brand new GM hood latch with switch.  My vehicle already had the harness leading up to the hood latch with just a cap on the end of the harness.

 

In my experience GM fob (guts) are not specific to with remote start, or rear power liftgate (tahoe).  I just bought new cases for my remotes.  My old ones did not have the start icon.  The new cases had the start icon and easily accepted the old guts.  I tested RF with my Bartec TPMS tool and all buttons were giving signal. 

 

I assumed it would be "plug and play".  It was not.  I used my Snap On Solus to attempt a remote re-program.  Still no remote start.

 

I took the truck to GM dealer #1.  A buddy of mine is a service writer, so he pulled me a favor and got it hooked up.   The service writer said my vehicle did not have an option for remote start, and could not be programmed.   He also told me I had the wrong remote(s) for my truck.  This really was no favor to me. 

 

I took my truck to GM dealer #2.  Another buddy of mine worked there, but my discount was going to be as good as dealer#1.   Again, he told me there was no option for enabling remote start in the BCM programming.  He has done these in the past.  The software option is there on his GM factory computer.

 

He went out on a limb and called GM.  He did not give me the number, but he had to use his subscription password to get in.  He explained that I used genuine GM parts to complete the job.  They said that I would have had to have purchased a genuine GM "remote start kit" to get the software.  They said there is an authorization code in the kit that allows the software update.  Unfortunately, I did not have that code, because I bought the components separately.   Finally after some smooth talking, GM agreed to release software.  It took about 30 seconds.  It updated my BCM software in the GM database.

 

The tech went back to my truck, and downloaded the BCM software, and there were several updates/changes.  #1  My hood showed ajar in the dash.  #2.  My door dinger got less annoying.  It stopped beeping with key in ignition and door open.   #3,  I had remote start.

 

What I learned:   Buy the GM kit, not just the individual parts.  Ensure that you have the GM authorization code.  Install a hood latch and possibly wiring harness.  Have GM dealer program it.  $400 later,  ($218 for the kit, $180 for programming) you'll have GM remote start.  

 

When I was finished buying remote cases, and a GM hood latch, I spent $80 and a $8 at Subway for my buddy who worked there at the first dealership, $220 at the second.  $38 on the hood latch, $20 for two fob cases, and wasted from 9AM to 5:30 PM driving to and waiting at two separate dealers.

      Oil Consumption

      By diyer2 · Posted

      I have changed oil and filter for years by starting a cold engine to warm oil up, let it run 5-10 minutes depending on temperature. Drain until it starts dripping, refill with quantity from owners manual or get it close.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I changed the factory fill oil in the rear diff of my truck for the first time today and the miles is close to 9000 on the truck. There was a lot of fines on the magnet, a very thick layer but working it through my fingers it all felt like mush and as most know it appears like graphite, so no surprise chunks anyway. Certainly was time to do it from my thinking and could have been done sooner but the oil didn't look awful but sure wasn't new looking and never expected it to either. I did use some solvent to help me clean out the bottom area of the axle housing, just get any other stuff settled at the bottom washed and wiped out of the housing for the bit of effort it takes. I used Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 in the easy packs to try out what they are like and I used up 4 packs and didn't spill much at all in the process but did take all four of the packs and go to the work bench and emptied them into a measuring container and there certainly was some in them that added up to something, then poured that into one of the easy packs and squirted in what I could get out of it. I would say the level is within 1/8th of an inch of being level with the threads at the fill plug so just the perfect amount. Once again, more than what GM says the fill volume is but computes with what others are adding to their rear diffs as well.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      So speaking of oil consumption with my L8T as I just changed the oil yesterday and made the switch over to Amsoil SS 0W-40 from the Mobil 1  5W-30 Truck and SUV I just dropped out. 2900 miles on that oil as well as  68 hours on that oil ( so used to equipment with an hour meter and that becomes valuable information to compare with others as well ). Once again the oil use was so very little, I am going to say it dropped under 1/16 of an inch on the dipstick. No towing was done and this interval was from early spring until now.    One interesting item to note is that going by the 5 quart jugs I was using before from Mobil, it was showing that I was putting in 8 US quarts to bring it to full if not slightly over the full mark according to their jug markings. Granted I did allow more drain time this time and in part because the engine oil was only lukewarm as I started it and let it idle and not for long enough to get the oil itself hot ( the engine was up to operating temp ). The oil in that state just seemed to take forever for it to drip out but not only at the drain plug but at the oil filter housing as well, perhaps I had never quite gotten all the oil out before and I could have still waited longer but as it was I waited well over 3 hours. I think next time if I have the time I will do an experiment by dropping the oil and lets say leave the pan under it for 15 minutes, then switch to another pail and let it drip out overnight and measure how much more oil comes out. So this time and yes I ended up getting it just over the full mark as I was experimenting with trying to get the level to the add mark after I had run it and then waited some and then added a bit and waited for a certain amount of time for it to settle to the add mark. I very well may not have waited long enough for that experiment but I got to the add mark, then dumped in a full quart and waited some and checked and then waited some more and it crept up more ... and then finally oops, it was slightly over full some hours later when it really had settled all it would. I find this engine sure takes time for the last bit of oil that gets poured in to finally make its way into the crank case. I can only guess at how much too much I added as per maybe a 1/10th of a quart. I had poured in 8.5 quarts going by the quart containers as per 8 quarts and 16 us ounces. I was shocked at how much this was off compared to the prior oil changes and if those larger jugs and they are not marked accurately enough or they contain slightly more than what they say, or the drain time factor made that much of a difference. But I know on this forum there have been others who have said they have put well over 8 quarts in their L8T and now I have also going by the Amsoil true quart containers. Its a confusing convoluted mess up here in Canada with some oil manufactures packaging is in true US quarts, some is also in true US quarts containers on an even number of quarts but also marked in liters which becomes the odd ball volume of a fractional amount of liters. Then there is the Liters only containers, no US markings as its a true metric container and only measured in Liters to an even number of Liters. But remember we used to have Imperial Gallons and Imperial quarts as well !.

      Holy smokes. Clearly not a deal on that truck. I just mean in general, matte or painted trim is becoming more normative than chrome, but I know the Black Optics packages on various vehicles are being sold as uplevel trims. They look really good, but sheesh. It's just paint and plastic.

      Some Assembly is Required

      I Wouldn't Know Where to Begin    Oh I know where I would begin but I'm just one of over eight billion people on this rock. Eight billion versions of where the goal post is. How large it should be. How far to kick from. What ball is the right ball. Elevation. Age.....are you getting the point? It isn't about disagreeing with one individual. It's about agreeing only with one individual. One's self.   Agreement comes when multiple people hold the same point already. THAT is the goal of an education. Building the Social Contract. That thing that allows us to all read this sentence. We've agreed on the alphabet and how to arrange those letters into words we agree upon whose meanings hold true for everyone entering into that contract. Those words arranged into a sentence form an idea and several sentences strung together in a paragraph convey an argument for or against or inform the reader of a state, condition or perhaps reveal a things nature. Paint a word picture. Make oneself known.    This contract is not limited to words although they are often explained by words. Things like numbers and their usefulness. Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Music, Art and so on.    The frequency of middle C (C4) is 261.63 Hz is a first principle. We build on that to make music we all can enjoy even if we all can not compose or play. You don't have to master it to make it enjoyable and useful.    So why is the Beginning so difficult? Why is agreement so elusive?   Everyone "Signs" the contract (when receiving that education in obtaining it)  but fewer and fewer in this world have any intention of living by that contract. They find exploiting that contract more advantageous. Disruption. With intent. Without intent. In Ignorance. In your face. With a double dog dare you. With a hold my beer. In resistance to that contract and in spite how it looks on us. It permeates the very air we breath.    In this way the contract is subject to advantage. Abide by it when it serves you, disregard it when it doesn't. Unpredictable and self-serving. Corrosive.....Toxic........   It says a lot about a persons character to disregard the contract, the truth, first principles. None of it good.        ********************************************************   https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/character-vs-personality-who-we-are-and-who-we-aspire-to-be/   Just an interesting article.
