DIC Problem

Have a 2017 Silverado 2500 Duramax LTZ. Last week the DIC in the instrument cluster didn't go blank (or black), it looked like an LCD that malfunctioned. I looked and it seems there is only one connector for the whole cluster and I don't think reseating it will fix it, but have not yet tried...Also, it will come back every once in a while and work for a bit, then back to the screen below.

 

Anyone have any DIY thoughts on what to do or do I need a new cluster or to repair this one?

 

Also, the truck is most likely out of warranty, via mileage.

So I tore apart the dash and removed the instrument cluster, took the covers off and reseated what looks like the ribbon cable for the DIC. Its working for now. Not sure if this is long term or if it'll keep working. If anyone else has had this issue I would be curious of the outcome. I have attached pics of it disassembled if it helps anyone. The good thing is, it was easy to take apart to where I had it. The next step would be to remove the LCD and see if there is a part number on it and if it could be easily replaced. But I don't want to take the LCD out until I know its totally not working in case I wreck it when taking it out.

Your truck is a 2017?  I think you posted it under the 2019/2020 Silverado/Sierra page.  Not sure if that matters?

Hrm, good point, must have redirected after I logged in and didn't notice. I'll try to move it if not, i meant to put it under the correct forum under troubleshooting....

Did this resolve for you? I also have a 2017 Silverado 2500 duramax LTZ with the same exact issue. The screen glows white and has lines through it as if the lcd screen is going bad but then it will start randomly working again.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
