So, the shop has had mine for 2 days and as you can expect nothing has been found as of yet. They say batteries tested good, cables pass resistance test and all cables are tight. Mechanic is periodically going by truck and remote starting. None of the symptoms have happened since jumping it off. They are saying it possibly went through reset. They are keeping it tell Tuesday and will let y’all know more then.

Take pictures to show service Dept. I wish I would have taken pics and video to show them. Is your Silverado a 2500HD?

Wish I could’ve nothing wants to pop up now it’s a dead brick in driveway, 2020 1500 rst 4800 miles on it. Keep reading UBEC bolts not tight enough has been the issue for a lot of people with electrical issues

So I picked up my truck today after it being in the shop for 6 days. They did an update that was to fix the black screen after remote start. It seems to be fixed.They thought that the USB port was faulty because I had a problem with Apple CarPlay not working. So it was changed out and still have a problem with the Radio recognizing my phone. They plugged a test device into the port and still no recognition. I need the truck tell next Wednesday and will bring back in for them to call and work with Tech support. Mechanic believes it is the radio. It will also show phone is connected by Bluetooth and will not play media even though phone says it is. Will check back in next week.

My screen went black after remote starting a few weeks ago. Once I shut off and restarted the screen returned to normal. No other issues at the time. Haven't driven my truck in a week. Went out to start the truck and nothing. Tried to jump start it and nothing but clicking. Going to give the dealer a call in the AM.

Hopefully, I get my truck back tomorrow. Dealership told me they completed a software update and everything checks out fine. They want to keep it overnight to make sure. I hope the problem is solved.

I had my 2020 2500HD HC in for oil change and the next morning after remote start, the infotainment would not come on.  The infotainment used to come on when on ACC or engine start from the ignition, but would not any more.  I called the dealership and two "Master Technicians"  stated this is how it is supposed to work.  According to them, you have to shut the truck off and start it from the ignition to get the infotainment system to come on.  

So, after being tongue-lashed by the dealership, I decided to reset the truck by pulling the negative terminals and low and behold, the infotainment comes on without turning off the truck now.    "Master Mechanics" can't know everything, but this back-yard shade-tree mechanic go to move on all electronic issues is pull the battery.  I hope the rumored upcoming update fixes these glitches for good.

Two days after my truck was parked wouldn’t start. Boosted it and drive it to dealer. Took them three hours to figure out what you guys all told me. Updated from version 148 to V150. Seems to be working great now. My advice is if this happens to you before you let truck sit ensure you have restarted manually or will die. Thanks again everyone.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
