I really like my 2015 Silverado however something I've noticed about it drives me crazy.

When locking and unlocking I push the button on the key fob but there's a delay.

Example- I got the button on the key fob and it should lock/ unlock, nothing happens so I think I need to push it again however right before my thumb hits the button again I hear the truck respond with a click and all is good.

I've noticed so many things respond slowly to input on this truck. Fan speed, lock/ unlock, etc.

The way I would describe it is this..I push a button, the signal travels slowly, arrives at a committee in the trucks computer, eventually in the meeting my request is voted on, after a long deliberation it's approved and a signal is sent to approve said request.

My 2011 responded to input of all kind much quicker. Even the slow throttle input was faster at responding. Anyone else notice this or is my truck a little "special" ?

My truck a/c takes a sec to turn on. It shows up on the screen it's on but doesn't do anything for a couple seconds

Makes me wonder if there's something wrong with the BCM or whatever controls these things.

My 2016 SIlverado is kinda slow, my 2016 Malibu seems even slower BUT, that car has push buttons on the handle so I often just use the passive entry with that car, really wish my truck had that feature...

I got in the habit when I owned my 14 GMC to use remote start or my fob or on my phone app. As far as being ready to go never a problem, hot or cold. When it came to entertainment, I either used my phone and pandora or I heart radio and my old iPod. My experience with that truck was great, only had it for 28K miles and 18 months. Probably still have it if weren't for the wife having multiple surgeries and hard for her getting into.

Most of the time, any delay is not noticeable with my 2014 SLT. But, once in a while, the delay for things like the backup camera coming on or other electronically controlled command, just bog down. I think it's a CPU, RAM issue. They didn't put an I7 processor in these things. More like a 386 and 2 meg of RAM.

 

I think there's recall for air bags or something dealing with the BCM. They should flash a new firmware load with the recall. That may help....or not.

Interesting observations. I also noticed that some of the electronic responses are not instant but I suspect this is intentional. Certainly there is nothing that concerns me!

I notice this to. I miss the instantaneous-nous of old all analog controls. I doubt it's an issue though because turning the radio on, cruise control, putting in gear, etc are all instant.

I noticed this as well and did a little experimentation. When you set all doors to unlock rather than just the drivers side it becomes instantaneous.... You know like it should be. Anyway give that a try.

I find myself pressing the lock button on the fob 5-6 times before the horn honk signal and then it typically honks 3 times in a row. Slightly annoying but not a huge deal.

My 2015 Silverado 1500 doesn't have the issue you described. It unlocks the driver door immediately (as well as locking). Then I hit it again if I want to unlock the other doors and again, it's instant. Only delay I have had is with the OnStar app, but I wouldn't expect that to be instant anyways. May be worth having the dealership check out, if the truck is still under warranty.

mine unlocks/locks as fast as I push the remote. There is a lag on the fan speed

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
