I have a 2017 Silverado ccsb that I bought new last October...  I had an alpine pxa-h800 sound processor, 2 JL amps and stealthbox, and 2 sets of alpine type R's 2-ways professionally installed last December... the system worked great for 7 months and then went completely black at the end of June this year... I have had the stereo system returned back to stock and taken in to the dealer and the only thing they have done is tell me that the diagnostics report shows a bunch of codes that  they can not clear and that because there is aftermarket audio equipment still physically in the truck they are not allowed to work on it... this last time they looked at the truck they told me the factory amp was not in the truck, I checked for the amp when I picked the truck up and it was still there, needless to say that really pissed me off

 

I am curious if anyone has dealt with these issues?

is there anyone who has aftermarket stereo equipment on their  truck and how was it hooked up? I was told that on 7 and later everything needs to be installed outside the GM MOST system

 

are there any GM techs on here who can help me understand how these issues are handled at the dealership level?

 

I can not get any help from the dealership, GM customer service or GM infotainment and what is wrong with my truck so any advice would really help. I am honestly pretty desperate at this point

I'm confused. You say it was returned to stock but you don't seem to dispute that the dealer  said it has aftermarket equipment. Is the factory amp there or not?

Hey tbarn. The sound processor and amps are still mounted in the truck but are not connected to anything. All of the wiring from the factory amp was returned to stock. The factory amp is still mounted  in it's original position

Bump... please, anyone who can help?

 

Remove all aftermarket gear.....take to a different dealership to have factory system repaired under warranty.

And maybe delete this thread too.

you say you had it "professionally installed", why cant you go back to the company that installed it? also how can you be frustrated when you still have aftermarket stereo equipment in the truck? of course GM won't want to touch it. As above said, remove all traces of aftermarket equipment and take it to a different dealer.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
