These issues are unfortunate I was about to purchase this. Guess I'll wait to see if they update it.

They have a 30 day guarantee. Maybe you’ll have better luck than me.

Mine worked fine all weekend after the small problem I had when using it “on the fly” and finding out they don’t really mean that. Remote started it today and had a CEL. Onstar couldn’t give me the code, “unable to probe module”. She asked if I had anything connected to the truck. It wasn’t shifting right and surging at cruising speed (35mph).

I’m really hoping my device needs an update but the tech support person I spoke with this morning said “probably not, it’s brand new so there shouldn’t be any updates available”. Needless to say I’m about one or 2 more CELs from returning it.

Others say theirs works flawlessly. I’m not that lucky.

Disconnect the thing and see if running issue clears up and/or then get code from onStar.

Exactly what I plan to do tomorrow. Didn’t feel like messing with it tonight as I have a small shim in the negative terminal (because it fits loose) and I don’t wanna lose it [emoji3061]

Shim? Negative terminal? Sounds like a source for a problem.....

After 2 dead batteries, one being on a “new” battery because the first was blamed on a bad cell, I investigated on my own and found the negative terminal was looses even when tightened all the way down. I put a small piece of metal in between the post and the terminal to take up the slack. I can assure you it is not a source for a problem as it’s been 7,200 miles since...

10-4. My first though was that you'd shimmed a terminal in one of the connectors... Rather than the battery terminal.

My truck recently did a software update on its own. I was prompted to initiate it when I had about 15 min. to complete it. My question is does anyone know if we would have to unplug this device every time GM sends an update to our trucks?

Got it installed yesterday afternoon and it’s a night and day difference. The one I originally got had a dead pedal lag kinda thing. This one does not. No CEL either. Haven’t tried adjusting the throttle setting on the fly, I’ll do it today though..

I tried to install mine this morning.  As soon as I turn the ignition on I get reduced engine power, ESC and parking brake errors.  Range is sending out another one.  Bummer.

It’ll be worth the wait.

I got mine from Diablo.  No difference I'm sure.  Worked great.  Only odd thing is I can't shut off start/stop with dash switch when unit is hooked up and set to not disable it. I can disable it through the unit as designed though.

    • 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.  
    • Move further away.   Benefit of living out - none of our cars get short cycled, plenty of warm up time.   Curious how much time/temperature it takes to drive moisture/condensation out of the engine?
    • Switch a a 100% synthetic trans fluid, Amsoil works for me.
    • First of all sorry, I know there are a ton of transmission temperature threads...   My truck is a 2025 LZ0 High (10l89 10-speed) High Country with NHT max trailering package. The NHT package is supposed to have "enhanced cooling."   Normally the trans temp sits around 200. It seems like with any real stress it quickly jumps into the 220s (for example climbing a grade unloaded at lower speeds). I haven't towed much with this truck, but I'm concerned if it gets this hot unloaded.    I've tried a few different things to keep the temps down (tow/haul mode, sport mode, low range when that makes sense) and nothing seems to affect it.    I'm curious if others are the same behavior or if anyone has found techniques to keep the temps down. It seems like it just can't handle reduced airflow at lower speeds, even with relatively light loading.    Thanks!      
    • I'm at 105,000 miles on my baby Duramax. No issues yet. I hit 31 mpg's traveling through hilly terrain to a project in Colorado. I will buy another 3.0. I'm not concerned.
