Yes, we've had 3 trucks and done them all with no questions asked. Our dealerships always tries to go above and beyond.

1/27/19 @ 5:35 am my truck threw this code.. "Service 4WD" after attempting to switch it from AUTO to 2HI. I was not moving, the truck was in neutral and I had just driven it the day before about 100

No.  They have their fair share of issues.  If you want a truck with fewer issues, go back about 10 years to the GMT-900s (without AFM) or even the GMT-800s.  Find a low millage and you'll have a GREA

Have you found a fix for it?

Light went back out after driving for 10 miles. Called dealer this morning and they told me unless the light is on there is nothing they can do. Starting to get really frustrating.

The code that was originally pulled the first time I took it in was C15A9. Is that similar to the codes you've seen on the trucks that came in?

yes as well as C05D2 & P25A2, been seeing few trucks coming in with oil pans leaking aswell as the rear diffs.

Thank you for your knowledge. Now I just have to try to get the truck to the dealer next time it comes on before it clears itself.

I know this sounds dumb but the leaking oil pan and diff is under warranty?

Nice. It's hard to find good dealerships. This is my first brand new truck and I love it besides the 4wd so far. I hope I dont have more problems

New owner of 2020 AT4(1 week old), and my service 4WD light came on last night on way home from work too.  I was in AUTO when I noticed it.  Was still on this AM.  I restarted truck and it wasn't there.

 

Dealer told me that it has to be on for them to see, but they didn't know the carbon bed was different than a regular bed....SERIOUSLY!!!

Maybe I should have bought an F150..........?

I cringe when I hear people say that, and Im apart of every forum GM FORD RAM TOYOTA as I have worked for all of them as and adviser.  FORGET the top 3 and ONLY buy as we in the industry call them the "TANK" Tundra, nothing else comes close best built truck period.

Light came on again when I pulled into my driveway. Hopefully the light stays on for the trip to the dealership tomorrow morning. Would have taken it right there but they said they dont have any loaners available or anyone to give me a ride to get a work truck.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
