I have a 2020 Chevy 3500 it’s a diesel the issue I am having is the radio will freeze for 5 to 8 second then the screen will go black for about 20 seconds then the radio will kick on and it will say searching and after about 15 seconds it will link back up with my phone it does this multiple times a week took it to the dealership first time all they did was reset radio it did not resolve the issue the dealership is about 45 minuets from my house it did it twice on the way home I called the dealer ship for 16 days to set up another appointment I ultimately had to drive back down and make a scene to get the owner of the dealership involved since the service department refused to talk to me at which point I scheduled a second appoint to resolve the issue they updated the soft ware this did not resolve the issue at the time I am writing this my truck has been at the dealership 9 days and they are waiting for an answer on what to do about this issue dues to this being my third time to dealer they do not want to return it right away due to the fact that if and when it has the issue again and I make a forth appointment and they work on it again. At which time I can start the procedure for lemon law in the state of Delaware has anyone had this issue if so please let me know and if you have had any luck getting this issue resolved

Jimmy,

 

Wow, that was one big sentence!

I'd encourage you to check out the Troubleshooting thread. There's a whole lot of information about Radio Screens going blank. Please let us know what you find out!

Plus 1 on the "punctuation" in no friend of mine.....

 

Wonder if you can hold your breath in the time it takes to read the whole thing without passing out?

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
