The Infotainment 3 systems (RPOs IOS, IOT, IOU), available on a number of 2017-2019 GM models has a voice recognition feature that offers varying responses as the system is used by the driver, based on the settings selected.

Wheel Studs with Yellow Coating

The new 2019 Silverado and Sierra use wheels studs that have a yellow coating on the lower portion of the stud threads to prevent corrosion of the threads. (Fig. 14) The yellow coating is not Loctite or any type of anti-seize coating for the wheel studs.

TIP: Never apply Loctite or any other product to any wheel stud threads. Never grease or lubricate the wheel nuts, studs or mounting surfaces. Wheel nuts, studs and mounting surfaces must be clean and dry.

The yellow coating is designed to prevent corrosion on the portion of the thread that is not covered by the wheel nut. (Fig. 15) The coating should not be removed or supplemented with any other product. If the coating comes off the wheel stud, it is not necessary to replace the stud.

Always clean the threads of the wheel studs before installing the tire and wheel assembly. If the threads of the wheel stud are damaged, replace the wheel stud.

The 2019 Silverado and Sierra are the first models/model year to receive the coating on the wheel studs. The coating will be applied on additional models in future model years.

The 10L80 and 10L90 10-speed automatic transmissions (RPO MHS, MHW, MF6, MGL, MQB) available on 2017-2019 Camaro, 2018-2019 Escalade, Tahoe, Yukon Denali, 2019 CT6, Silverado 1500, Sierra 1500, and Suburban models feature a Part Unique Number that may contain the number zero (Fig. 28, #1) and/or the letter O.

F28-PUN-1.jpgFig. 28

 

If the transmission valve body is replaced, the software may not accept the Part Unique Number (PUN) during the characterization procedure if the PUN is incorrect. Keep in mind that the PUN may contain the letter O as well as the number 0 (zero).

The PUN must be entered correctly during programming. Be sure to enter the PUN accurately and to take notice of the difference between the letter O and the number zero.

    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
    • I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
