Might help the forum to know what "kit" your referring to. Is this a GM kit? or an aftermarket kit? My '17 Silverado, with factory remote start, had a sensor in the hood latch to tell the ECU that the hood is closed, as it will not "remote start" unless certain parameters are met; I.e. doors are locked, etc. It probably needs a signal telling it that the hood is closed to start. Just a guess on my part. Does the current hood latch have the same sensor as the new one? If it does, you may not need to change it.

check out this video. retrofit remote start

 

Here's another video that says you don't need the new latch   remote start

This is the kit I bought from it it is off of eBay but it is factory equipment 22997089 Complete Remote Start Kit for 2014 - 2018 Silverado or Sierra 1500 OEM The main thing I don't understand is that it has wiring harness going to the  the original hood latch already And I don't know if I just leave that one there and tape it off

I think you need to watch the 2nd video.

The kit fits all 2014-18 trucks but the 17 & 18's don't use the hood latch in the kit as they already have the hood closed sensor installed.  The 14 thru 16 trucks did not have that sensor if not factory equipped.  On my 2018 Custom, all I had to do was give the new key fob's and the activation card to my dealer so they could program it to work!

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Auto start stop disable

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
