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.

      2001 GMC Sierra - Banging feeling in steering wheel

      By txab · Posted

      Without knowing how bad your banging is, one suggestion is the intermediate steering shaft on the steering wheel. These used to be a problem on 800 and earlier series. The feeling/sound was sometimes described as "clunking" and was felt in the wheel. Also there is a plastic piece in the lower column that is referred to as a bearing. Not your traditional looking bearing though. Your ball joints, bushings and tie rods or steering rack (if equipped) are the main point of issues. You never mention total unit miles, only that you've put 60k on it.   You can search the site for help on the ISS description. Plenty of these have been replaced

      Yes I have is set with the 1mm disk (Minumim Tension), for spring spacing and I raised my truck in the rear 1.5". You can go 2mm  and I think 3mm if you need.Minimum. We are on our way to TN from GA.. My wife is driving and stated she cannot believe  and   stated she can not belive the difference.

      Most 1 ton trucks come with the factory overload spring, which need to be removed for installation of RoadActive Suspension. Removing the overload allows proper fitment and ensures the system works as intended. The RAS® Mega-Duty kit will reduce squat and provide significant improvement vs the factory overload spring.

      I wonder as well, why they would send me a text message with links to these suggested procedures totalling over $10,000 without even the slightest hint of how they arrived at these being necessary.

      https://precisionlubrication.com/articles/oil-filter-efficiency/     For them it is a problem of $$$$ and compliance. To cover both they have to lie from the heart.    Government wants low waste oil numbers so the bar needs to be very low on contamination to met that requirement.  Consumer wants cheap maintenance (perceived cost). Again requiring a low bar.  OEM wants high margins at a cost effective warranty rate and lots of repeat customers. More low bar.  Filter manufacture wants the same thing the OEM wants. See the pattern?   Consumers are fickle and also want perfection requiring a HIGH bar. Inconsistent with all of the above. Consumers can be, when the put their minds to it, inquisitive, love winning arguments which requires some useful information to be available to support them. And this is where it gets sticky and the lies begin.    Information needs a solid well grounded point of reference if we are to compare in a useful way. There is a standard for this.  ISO 4548-12. This standard sets the particle size at a specific Beta ratio and darn few are faithful to its intent.    If they don't state the test method they change the particle size or the Beta ratio to hit a perceived favorable standard. They obscure the information in a way as to prevent direct comparisons leaving the consumer with one method. UOA's with an ISO 4406 test result. Pricey and not allot of labs willing to do the work. Lobby work happens everywhere, not just at the seat of government.
