Mine hasn’t synced with my iPhone for months. Just stopped a few months back.    I tried everything. Unpair, re-pair, etc etc. When I try to initiate the sync from the truck, nothing happens. W

I was having this problem until today. Seems the newest IOS 13.4 update fixed mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just picked up a new AT4 HD on May 19/20. $92700(Canadian) truck. Infotainment system sucks balls. My wife and kids listen to me better. Not a happy customer.

Same issue called the dealer and they said that was strange ha.  They need to have the truck to diagnose but I'm not hopeful. The infotainment system on these trucks are getting worse not better. 15, 18 and now 20 Sierra Denali all have had problems with phone and syncing!  15 was the best but last 2 are terrible and my truck is my office so I need it to work...

Each time I start my 2019 Silverado, many of the contacts do not load. It varies each time to which contacts load and the ones that don’t load

Thanks hotrods37 I'm going to give it a try.  I typically wait until the kinks are out of iOS updates but this is encouraging...

I have IOS 13.4 on my iPhone XR and still having contact sync issues.  Picked up 3500HD AT4 on March 20 and have issue since driving away from dealer.  Been on the phone with Onstar and apple with no fix.  Truck is in at dealer now as they are getting GM on the phone to help.  Reading the previous posts, I'm not holding out a lot of hope that this can be a simple fix other than replace the radio.  Will advise later what the dealer comes back with.

Yep, no change with 13.4 getting a little perturbed. Very inconsistent when I get in the truck sometimes it sync's up other it doesn't recognize the phone. What can we expect for 70,000 dollars!!

Brought into local GMC dealer in Twin Cities.  They spent hours on the phone with GM tech adviser.  Final resolve was this from GM:  "Advised GM is aware of this issue with the iPhone contacts on the 2020 IOT radios.  We have been seeing that this issue may be something engineering has to investigate.  NO REPAIR IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.  AS ADVISED BY OUR STAFF, CUSTOMER TO USE APPLE CAR PLAY AS WAY OF CIRCUMVENTING RADIO ISSUES UNTIL GM RESOLVES THE PROGRAMMING SITUATION.

 

Service manager at dealer said that it could be months or longer for GM engineers to fix being there is no official recall's or notices at this time.  While I am still able to drive the truck fine, and for that matter love everything else about it, I do find it frustrating that one has to have a work around to circumvent an issue that GM knows about, and admits to knowing about, but doesn't seem to have any urgency in finding a fix.

Thanks Hog, and I hate to say this but I think its time for me to look at other makes the next truck around.  Getting tired of paying big bucks for lackluster performance.  Thanks for your insight...

Have you had it in to the dealer yet?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.

      Oil Consumption

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
