So I guess the question is this is a common complaint? I mean I dont mind doing custom jobs but this would be a big one (and way to expensive lol) to do for one person :)

Pretty common...most people have no way to fix it.

 

I even started a thread in the 2019 area to see if it's plaguing the T1XX...Jury is still out on them...

I replied to that initial thread as it states the 2014's were originally 100% closed but people were still complaining...

I have read that too but GM changed it due to dust accumulation in the cabin. I'd rather clean my cab than deal with the smell. After a few "behind a bus" rides in your new test bed will better show the issue we now have. GM says it closes 90% but there is no comparison between my 2008 Avalanche or either of my Honda cars. I'm just asking because it's pretty bad with the programming they changed it to.

I get that (and agree) the issue I see is even the early posters were complaining which means theirs were 100% already and it still was bad LOL

Then maybe a bad door design, even with it 100% closed you're going to get some smells but not like an open window parked behind a school bus :sigh: I understand if it's too much to play with but I had to ask.

Not too much to play with at all :) Again the concern is if I'm able to help hence the 100% door statement hopefully an early 2014 owner will chime in because from what I can see that bulletin would make things WORSE LOL :)

My suspicion is GM covered their backside by saying they changed it to 90% closed to stop the bleeding and have an excuse why their system is sub-par to everyone else's. I would be willing to bet that the 14 probably was set to 90% too since they were having issues back then as well. Only way to really tell is to see the door in action I guess. Like I said, no matter if the door actually closed 100% or not some smells will get in but never have I had a vehicle this bad. Thanks for considering it Chris.

Yes we sell the programming. You'd want to contact us from our website for more details :) 

can you program my fob to roll the windows up, similar to how they roll down at the same time.

I’ve read that if you have the setting on dashboard  outlets only it is better, anything else like a dash/feet setting or feet only it stinks. Of course defrost or defrost/feet uses outside air so they have to let some in. I almost always have either defrost or the face/feet selected. I will try dashboard vents only and see if it’s better.

How about auto fold the mirrors on exit door lock ?  Would be nice to auto unfold on start, but some may not want this as there may be a condition where you need to have the mirrors stay folded.

You probably already know this but hey, I learn something new daily. If you hold the lock button down (for about 3 seconds) on your key fob they will fold in but you have to manually push the button on the door to fold out after getting in. I would not want an auto extend on mine because I would surely forget I had it set to do that. When I am in a parking garage (and get lucky) I park next to a wall and get as close as I can with the mirrors folded in...you can guess my dilemma when I came back, get in and started it....DOH...Bart go to your room! Trust me I would forget and wipe out my mirror.

Yeah. Knew about the key fob trick, but it would be nice to have it do it automatically. And I agree with the auto unfold - that is exactly the circumstance I was referring to. Would suck to see your mirrors power out into a wall!

Have actually considered this. Its a different module than we are currently working on but what the heck LOL

Never going to get enough early 14 owners to reply. It’s enough to make me consider selling it. I rode in a frickin Ford today and we were on the Eglin AFB range BEHIND another Ford that is a huge diesel truck, never smelled a thing. Pisses me off I didn’t know about this before I bought it.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85

      Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.
