Just read the bulletin 19-NA-191 about the brake pad life calculating too quickly. It says to update software AND replace the brake pads if over 6,250 miles in the vehicle!!!

 

Since this should affect pretty much every 19 built, those early adoters with 10k or 20k miles should print that bulletin out and show it to the advisor for your free brake pads all the way around.2a46feeb9cddc1c6119eba881133aaf4.jpg

damn! I should have waited.  I just had my software updated, but I only have 4,200 miles.

Not sure if the sensors are in just the front pads or all the pads. I'm assuming gm would replace all 4 pads

Thanks for posting this. Where do I go to find the full print out? I did a quick search and looks like I have to pay for a subscription.

Go to nhtsa.gov and search by your vin, then go to manufacturer communications. You should find it in there with a link to the pdf

Is there a build date cutoff, or does this apply to any 19 T1?
If you have say 6k miles and your brake percentage say like 50 % you should be covered. TSB didn't specify a cutoff date only the symptom

A big So What? Nothing is wrong with the pads themselves, just the operating software.

 

Never use that engine killing DIC for determining when to change oil, much less when to change brake pads or air filter. That's what eyes are for not some mindless algorithm,change oil/  filter every 3-4K miles, brake pads when the thickness of the lining is close to the thickness of the backing plate and air filter every 10K whether it needs it or not.

 

 And with current rev. everything in the system including the Nav is working properly so no one will be screwing adding an update for anything short of giving the Silvy the capability to fly like an airplane

Thanks for this. And ain’t is sad we have to even think about printing/taking to dealer just to be sure ? And it’s not just GM either. Many other manufacturers as well

All I can find there is Recalls, I can't seem to find TSBs.  What am I missing?

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
