What model and trim is it, guessing a crew since your VIN starts with a 3.

The 3 means it as built in Mexico, not the box type

Correct, 14-18 crew cabs were built in Mexico.

Sorry to revive this but trying to find out some info on BTV Rpo code, I got this truck form my dealer used 2016 CC Silverado, it only came with one set of keys, and the key is not even the normal looking one that my older chevys have been looks like maybe a replacement. I have the BTV code so was not sure if I can just get remote start fobs and have them programmed or do I still need to more installed on it?

Yes sir, and your new truck should start with a 1,  4. or 5 (not likely the last 2) if built in the USA, 2 for Canada. Second digit will be a G, for GM.

Yup my 2018 that is my new rig starts with 1. Made sure of this before buying. Too many start with 3 when i worked at dealer had key fit/working issues when cutting the key from VIN. Hated that.

Honestly, the build quality on my 18 Mexican made crew is just as good as our $75000.00, 16 Tahoe which was built in the USA. Both LTZ, which should not make a difference how they are put together, but maybe?

If your truck did not come with it, you will need everything that comes in this kit, 22997089 Complete Remote Start Kit for 2014 - 2018 Silverado or Sierra 1500 OEM

Is there a write up on here on how to install?

I have a 2015 GMC sierra. I pulled the RPO listing for my vin and it shows this...

BTV

CONTROL REMOTE ENGINE START REMOTE CONTROL ENGINE START(BTV)

 

So does this mean without a doubt my truck has the ability. I bought the truck used and the keyfob was broken, I bought a replacement with the same 4 buttons, took the guts out of the old keyfob and put it in the new case and the doorlock buttons work, but the remote start button does not(even with hitting lock, then holding the circle for 3 seconds) I guess my question is now, is that button of the remote not working, or is the truck not set up for remote start. My next step is to reprogram a new 4 button remote and see if it will remote start with that remote. My main question is that if the RPO says BTV is there no reason remote start should not work?

 

Thanks in advance - Joe

I am not an expert but I have the same RPO code on my 2016 and the remote start definitely works. I also have 2 FOBs that came with it when I bought brand new. As long as none of the remote start stuff got removed, you should have that capability.

Just to add, if you have any codes present or a faulty hood latch, the remote start will not work. All codes need to be cleared first. Not sure how to diagnose hood latch though.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
