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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
