I need to replace the windshield on my 2014 Silverado 1500.  Will there be any follow-on programming or calibration required by the dealer?

 

Thanks,
Rick

Rick, it may depend on who you use to replace the glass. Our '15 X5 had a limb land on it a year ago. I requested OEM BMW Glass & Safelite had one in stock. There was a separate $200 charge to reprogram/calibrate the cameras/sensors. I will assume your windshield may need to same thing depending on what options you have on the truck. I believe Safelite has the required equipment. Even if you have the dealer to do it, they will bring in a glass installer to install it. Dealers don't have the techs to handle it for the most part. Hope you have good insurance & low deductible. The X5 was $2300+?

I replaced the glass on my '15 at safelite. I could have paid $650 for the direct OEM replacement or $400 to not have the direct OEM replacement. No extra programming was required.

Nothing required if they use the correct glass, would ask and make sure it is one of the two (maybe 3) GM authorized companies that they use at the factory.

$300 @ Glass America for OEE glass and they are coming out to the house. I've done business with them in the past so should work out good. Called Safelite twice and couldn't get anyone to answer, all machines.  Thanks for the replies!

Quick question, who is your insurance company?

 

I paid my $50.00 deductible and had a Fuyao put in my 18. Believe it had a Vitro that had to be replaced because of a crack from a rock. State Farm is my company.

Your windshield will only need a LDWS "Lane Departure Warning System" Calibration if you have that option on your truck. It's called a Dynamic Calibration the technician will drive your truck for roughly 10-15 minutes with a scan tool. Very few trucks beside Denali models have this option though on GM.

Aftermarket glass has to adhere to the same government safety guidelines as OE and often times is made in the same factory, it just doesn't have the GM logo. I know someone that used to work for a glass company. People often ask for OE glass and in the end its just the GM logo they are paying extra for.

Yep, that what they did on our X5. There was a $200 charge for this IIRC. Insurance covered it. AND, I have this (LDWS) on my '17 Silverado too.

No need on our trucks, if the correct glass is used it will work just fine, had the windshield replaced in my 18 with factory glass, and it works fine.

Well, maybe. As mentioned above, the camera that controls the LDWS will need to be recalibrated. Hope the new glass would not obstruct this. So many times, the glass for say a '14 will also fit a '18 but the '18 may have add'l options that need to meet a '18 windshield that the '14 wouldn't. Just sayin...

Nope, no recalibration if the same camera is used and put back as it was found.

Thinking someone paid for a service they did not need.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
