I have a 2015 GMC 2500 HD

I have horn issues. I was working then it started to weaken...then it stopped working. Now it started to work again but very weak. The dealership said it would cost me an undisclosed amount because they are not sure what the problem is. I've read several complaints about this issue on the forum's and find it hard to believe that they have not heard of this issue.....that is what they told me. Ant advice would be great.

Thanks

get a new one... or a train horn

Or both!!  I put a train horn on with its own button in the center console and an airhorn up front behind the front bumper that is activated by the steering wheel pad.  Both are connected up to my onboard air tank.   One benefit is the if the alarm goes off, it is loud!

Some idiot with a train horn in their truck got his truck impounded when he used it and a police officer saw it.  And rightfully so.

Sounds a bit drastic

I agree. Train horn videos are some of my favorite on YouTube. Guess some of us just have a petty sense of humor!

I remember one time I armed my truck and it honks the horn, then my wife armed her Equinox(2015), and the horn sounded twice as loud as my truck. I looked at her and was like, wtf?? She just laughs and said my trucks horn sounded cute... [emoji23][emoji1787] I really need to upgrade my trucks horn... [emoji848]

It's only funny to the losers who are honking. 

Did some LOSER honk at you and make you bang your head? You sound a bit angry and judgmental!

Bitter?  yes.  Why?  They scared the hell out of my dear sweet old widowed mother who was minding her business a few years ago while on a walk.  Startled her so much she fell and broke her ankle.

I have a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD and the horn quit working.  You don't think about it much until you don't have one - but it's kind of a safety issue.  It looks like this is an ongoing issue.  Any new info on possible fixes or cost of repair?

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.

      The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
