Jeez that is pretty sad that they cannot diagnose the issue. Probably something super simple like a bad battery cable or possibly the battery itself. These Mr Goodwrenches nowadays are really pushed to do a quick diagnosis and just be part changers. There are probably actually some good mechanics in the bunch but they have to do what the computer tells them even if it is a STUPID move LOL

The problem that I have with my truck is that it doesn't start when it's cold outside. When the temps are warmer it starts up fine.

GM is dragging their feet on trying to fix it, or just buying it back and putting me in a new truck.

Now it's been over 30 days sitting at the dealer, I have no choice but going the legal route to get out of this lemon truck.

If its temperature based? Then it should be an easy diagnosis. Coolant temp sensor, Maf, Iat, etc etc. Not communicating with the ecm or other start parameters. Any luck on this yet.

The dealer had my truck in the service department for over a month. They found a bad cable under the driver side floor board that was bad.

Being the dealer couldn't get the truck fixed under 30 days, I filed a BBB lemon law buyback.

GM agreed to buy back my truck, so now I'm driving my original truck until all the paperwork gets done. Should be around a month until I get my new 2017 crew cab.

 

Thanks guys, it's all looking good so far that GM is backing there warranty and complying with my state lemon law buyback.

Here the update of my previous 2016 Sierra DC that wouldn't start up on cold days.

GM finally bought it back, and now I have a new 2017 GMC Sierra Crew Cab.

Thanks GM for standing behind your warranty. :happysad::driving::fingersx:

June 2017, my 2016 6.0, LTZ Z71 Silverado would not start as well. I had full electronics on dash, windows worked but no click, crank or start when turning the key. Towed to the dealer and it started right up for them, they found no error codes. (7) days later, same thing happened, no crank or start. Had it towed back to dealer and thankfully it did not start for them, error code showed bad starter. It was replaced and so far so good.

 

Service adviser said that there was a service bulletin issued on this starter for certain 2016-2017 model 2500's.

My 2017 GMC Denali 2500 pickup has done the same thing twice approximately 6 months apart. All electrical systems except ignition work. I'm sitting in a rainstorm 65 miles from home now unable to drive.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
