I have successfully removed the OnStar brain in a 2021 High Country Silverado!!! THX for all the knowledge learned,but I put 12 hours and some genius into this and found a sexy backdoor!!! Video soon to come!!!!

Interesting.  I guess OnStar isn't needed to do any updates to the vehicle.

These threads are funny, same people that don't want onstar tracking them are the same people with a cell phone that can be tracked, unreal where do these people come from? Don't people realize that there radio waves around you 24-7 no matter where you go? I could say alot more but ill get in trouble.

Is there a double meaning to "sexy backdoor" here?

Also tracking isn't the only reason I am interested in disabling the OnStar antenna.  I would like to minimize my exposure to radiowaves and not have yet ANOTHER 4GLTE power signal with me and my family everywhere I go.  It would be great to turn OFF the antenna and turn it on when needed.

 

 

Do you own a smartphone or rather ANY cellphone?  You are being tracked with that.  Might as well get rid of it too.  

 

Don't worry about the 4G you can get cancer from everything else you do in life anyway.  

 

If the WiFi hotspot is disabled via the radio settings pages, the Onstar WIFI won't be working and will be off.

Another thing that is keeping track of your every drive is the ECM.  Speed, G's, braking all driving conditions.  So if you are an aggressive driver it is all logged the ECM.   If you drive like a 100yr old that can hardly see, it is being logged.

 

It is only a matter of time before this information is used against us.

So people should just bend over and let government's brand them, and herd them around like cattle? Because that's where its going, whether you choose to recognize it or not.

 

Its simple, Government's sole purpose is to maintain control. We are in an ever increasingly small world, population isn't going to shrink, it's going to spiral out of control. At some point something has to break, it's not an if; it's a when. And if you were in power and recognized this fact, what would you do? Do you let humanity run itself to the brink of collapse, or do you take control and determine that you get to decide whats best for people. You get to take away their right's, lives, and free will in the name of doing what's best. You may ask how people could let this happen? People already have and are. It's a slow process on purpose. People follow whats popular, what society dictates is appropriate. Not what's true and just.

If you're planning on omitting payments and are worried about on star tracking you down, the repo man would just pick you off with a license plate reader these days, anyway.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      I thought I was building a HD 3500 srw, maybe I was lost.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.

      It’s never dry here but it gets hot. My 4 vehicles I keep at home drive an 18 mile loop. One 6 days a week. Two about 3 days each and one once a month. Only one goes on trips about 4 times a year 1000 to 2000 miles each time. One 26 years old gets driven once a month for 22 years. One 14 years old goes 6 days a week. The other two are recent at 2 and 4 years. All are performing normal no extra service other than that would be half of recommended or severe service in the maintenance manual. No extra water or steam out the exhaust or premature plug wear. I would consider an 18 mile loop would be enough. So apparently once a month at 18 miles for 22 years has kept the collector car running well. About 45 minutes a month.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By newdude · Posted

      It is working as designed.  NHT and non NHT trucks have the same exact transmission cooling setup.  NHT just gets a larger radiator.     The transmission cooler loop on these is as follows.     -Transmission out goes into an oil to water heat exchanger (item #1 in the first illustration below).  This exchanger has engine coolant opposite the transmission fluid and uses engine coolant to warm and then regulate the transmission fluid temperature when its in the operating window.   - From the cooler it goes to a thermal bypass valve (item #11 in the 2nd illustration below).  If the ATF has not reached the temp to open the bypass (194F), it loops back.   - When it reaches 194F, the thermostat opens and ATF then flows out to the oil to air auxiliary cooler (item #17 in the 2nd illustration) at the front of the truck.  From there it goes back to the transmission.     Your only fix would be to swap for the PPE thermal bypass delete block which will open the loop to the aux cooler all the time.  It will STILL run warm, probably 170-200F, but that's as low as you'll get it as its still flowing through the oil to water exchanger.

      Most say the oil temperature needs to above the boiling point of water to rid it of moisture and long enough to dry it. Many think that is about a hour at 212 F or more. Those people have never line dried cloths in a Midwest winter. Leave a pan of water sitting on the counter and eventually it all evaporates. So heat drives the time it takes. Water in oil under 175 F, the Nitration initiation temperature, is a minimum then for temperature and samples I've done that use Karl Fisher method say about a hour (in a healthy well tuned motor) over 175 F will dry it to under 800 ppm. Low enough to not be much of a factor. Motors with weak rings will take longer and the colder the air temperature the longer it takes.   On a cold motor there is also the condensation temperature. Blowby gases that contain moisture are subject to that cold cylinder wall, like sweat on a glass of ice tea. But also subject to the Law of Partial Pressures. Wear studies by GM and the DOD  indicate wear is a real issue below 85 F and a concern to 140 F but doesn't become a minimal factor until about 160 F. You know this intuitively when you see water vapor exit the exhaust pipe until the system gets above the dew point. It isn't magic, it's physics and it fascinates me. I know you didn't ask but....I over share sometimes. 😉    You keep the Camaro's high and tight.
