Just curious... I bought a 2017 Sierra slt. When I back up at night the screen goes to max bright when the backup camera comes on.

 

It basically washes out seeing anything out of my mirrors and frankly makes it worse than if I wouldn't have it.

 

What gives!?

My 2017 Silverado LTZ does this too. Makes backing up suck. When I take my truck in for an oil change I'm going to ask them about it.

I went into my dealership today for an oil change and inquired about it. The service manager said she hasn't heard of it but looked it up and found it on her computer.

She told me that I had to make an appointment to get any software updated as a specialized GM software technician had to come in to do any software reprogramming or updates.

I'm going to try and have my truck booked in for later this week. I'm curious of the outcome of the software update.

I'll post results after it gets done.

Is the a22 radio controller update the same as the TSB 17-na-269 ?  I ask as I requested the TSB be done and the dealership basically tore a strip off me and said they don't tell their mechanics what to do, (more on that issue to follow later), BUT they took my truck and performed a radio update, I am not sure the lighting problem is any better and wanted to check here before I go back and deal with this.

 

My receipt says that they applied the "most current cal code 806CE" to my radio.

I had the TSB update for the nite backup camera issue done to my '17 Sierra a while back and it works great now. IIRC there is another thread about this in this forum, or the main model year forum on this issue as well. 

Not sure if the TSB is the same as the a22 radio contoller update......

I had the camera tsb performed this past Friday. I asked specifically for #17-ma-269. It makes a difference

I think you have a typo.  It should be:

 

#17-NA-269

Yes, that's the one. Now i'm not blinded by the screen when I put it in reverse at night!

Is it just me, or the trucks should have never left the plant this way.  I think it is a major lack of quality control, somebody wasn't doing their job.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Indeed a proper drain tap or drain valve with adapter that has a hose on it that opens up the valve as the adapter goes on is a slick setup and have that for certain highway tractors etc and other equipment that came from the factory with a tap but this L8T is pretty darned good other than me doing it on the floor and easy to touch hot exhaust and am not as agile as I used to be !. If I really want to pull a hot filter on an engine I will use an insulated set of thick neoprene gauntlet gloves but I am not in the hurry I used to need to be so things are done more relaxed and in theory somewhat safer ... I think LOL.    And as I mentioned the unique shape of the Amsoil 1 quart containers, while they might not work as well as an offset pour spout container for some awkward engine location applications, they are working a lot better with my Lisle funnel kit because of how they prop up on all four corners when upside down resting on the rim of the funnel where the typical quart container would never stay put without holding onto it.

      Clunk when coming to a stop... driveshaft/slip yoke? Mechanic couldn't recreate it

      By mrbflat · Posted

      Well, I just hit 100K a few weeks back, and I can honestly say I have not had any major issues with my '21 5.3 Crew cab.  I have done most routine maintenance, oil changes, air filter, tire rotations, and a transmission drain and filter change (not even a full flush).  A couple of months ago, I started experiencing the dreaded CLUNK when coming to a stop, sometimes hard enough to literally push the truck forward! After researching here and in other forums/youtube videos, etc, I was thinking it's the slip yoke. I finally had a chance to take it to my local mechanic today, and he was not able to recreate the issue.  Amazing, since it does it nearly every time I drive.  He also said he can't simply grease my slip yoke/driveshaft splines, because I have a 1 piece driveshaft.  I am not sure what else I can do.  Has anyone else had this issue or have any idea what else it could be?

      This is where the Fumoto drain valve comes in handy.  No mess and able to change oil hot, like right off the interstate hot.  Flows nice and you can direct it into a container. As for the oil filter, I use an old dixie cup or plastic one from McDonalds. It contains the oil as you pull the filter down and not all over your hand.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Well, if it did change from lifters to rocker arms, at least it would be easier to fix as they fail.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Doesn't hurt to try.  It's my understanding that you have to run it at least 4 or 5 oil changes for things to get clean.  Think about it, your engine didn't get dirty in just an oil change so over time it will slowly clean. It's the safest way to do it and not have seal issues.      I remember  a product that came out a long time ago, AutoRX, it was an additive you put in the oil and then drove for 3k miles. Some saw improvements and some didn't. It was suggested to use a non synthetic with it at the time. Same observation, use a couple oil changes and give it time to work. It also stated it worked best if you could drive on trips to keep the oil hot.  I'm sure if you ask AI it could tell you all about it.
