Hello, I recently purchased a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 AT4. To make a long story short my truck was supposed to come with off road side steps installed from GMC which cost $965. I bought my truck over the phone and it was delivered without the steps.  I complained to the dealer which fell on deaf ears and I then complained to GMC. So far GMC is “working” on it but the employee within GMC has only called me one time, in about a month so I feel like it’s not going anywhere. Does anyone have a contact at GMC or are there any reps on this site able to help out? All I want is my steps or a refund. Thank you

If your order isn't right with no fault of your own, I would go back to the dealer showroom on a saturday at a busy time and start complaining how they ripped you off for a thousand dollars.  You will get slightly more of a response out of them then.  I had to do this one time when my wife's 2016 ford edge was12 months and 3 days old with only 5,000 miles on it and the windshield cracked on the inside only for no reason.  They originally told me that the glass warranty ends at 12 months,  I left there not realizing that I was only 3 days out of that.  I went back in on memorial day weekend when every sales person had a customer with them and started calmly complaining to the manager with my very loud, half deaf construction worker voice where everyone in the building could hear me and I was told it would be repaired before I could get my second sentence out.

I think you missed the part where the OP stated that he bought the truck over the phone and it was delivered. Sounds like it wasn't a local deal, so he may not have the option of causing a scene at the dealer.

They do mail order trucks now?  I just ordered my truck over the phone and email with the dealership that I will be taking delivery at. I didn't think there was any other way.

Yeah I bought it over the phone. Only at4 at the time within 250 miles and selling out quickly. I was hoping there was a rep on this site that could help.

As in how? They told you to get bent or you were mistaken about the steps included with the sale?

They said the steps are a factory installed option that can’t be refunded or discounted. They were on the sticker for the truck but never showed up at the dealer. According to them GMC steps are are backorder and there’s nothing they can do about it. When I asked about a refund or discount they said no. This was after my credit was ran three times and they were on there way to deliver the truck.

There aren’t any rpo codes on the new trucks in the glove box. Just the vin and load capacity. You have to have Gmc send you the build sheet or pay for them front what I have read? 

 

Do you have anything helpful Tim?

Have they at least promised to install them when they come out of back order?

Yeah whenever they come in they will ship then to me. That’s in writing but who knows when they will be in stock

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
