Every week or so, I get a message on the screen "Satellite Signal Lost" when I start the pickup. Sirius will eventually reconnect after turning the pickup off and  waiting a few minutes before restarting it. Is this normal and everyone is putting up with it or do I possibly have a problem that I need to get taken care of by the dealer?

I am having this issue as well.... and I have lost signal during a light snowfall.  I contacted Sirius and they told me this is NOT normal, and that it needs to be resolved by the Dealer likely through a radio replacement.  I would contact yours to discuss, and have a diary of 'events' if possible.,....

My AT4 is brand new and doing exactly what yours was. Did you find a solution?

The dealer replaced the shark antenna without fixing the problem. The dealer ordered a cable running from the antenna to the radio after talking to Chevy. The cable is not available at this time. I feel that this is a software problem due to the fact it will work properly after the restart.

 

I really don't want the dealer tearing the interior trim apart to replace something I don't believe will correct the issue.

Mine did it once in a while, dealer told me it's a radio software issue and updated radio program about a week ago. So far so good, but mine had a mind of it's own as to when it would get stuck in searching for signal on xm.

That’s exactly why I asked. There’s no way I would end up with paw prints on my headliner.

Less then a week later, it went out again.

Mine does this and today it wont change xm channel.  Hitting favorites, using steering wheel buttons, nor even scanning works.

XM has been updating their stuff lately, I noticed even in my 08 the other day when going to change a channel, "update in progress"  and channel was unavailable for awhile.  But have not had the loss of signal issue. 

 

We might have some mild to moderate solar flare activity going on.

Mine does the same.  I take a pic every time to document the date and time.  Once I have a few, it will be off to the dealer for a fix. Fingers crossed.

Update, I’ve owned the truck since April and I have to stop the XM App about 2 times a month on average.  I have no idea what a long term fix would be 

 

I made a short video to help people for this problem

a new aftermarket radio, most likely :(  Man that sucks!!  I love XM.  My life has been far more enjoyable ever since abandoning the shitty AM and FM stations and their shitty commercials.

my 2020 does the same thing, took it to dealer last week and they flashed it again. Now its WAY worse, at one point it lost the radio ID for a day, the screen goes black for a bit and it started fake dropping cell calls ( going to radio during a call and then returning to the call). The NAV is horrible all the time.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
