Has anyone had it pushed to them yet. I seen one thing the update fixes is XM signal problems. Mine sucks right now. Slow to load, a few station are there then lost. A few times it wouldn't connect just says searching. Get back in the truck later then it hooks up. Sucks pay for a service then have to listen to one or two commercial loaded stations.

Yes, GM will push out updates as needed but not on a vehicle by vehicle basis and your issue sounds like a dealer visit, not a software update.

I think he was referring to the update GM has already announce they are pushing out.

I have not gotten it yet. I have the same issues with XM from time to time.

Here is the info on the update.

Someone in another thread got the update and was asking what it was for, as they hadn't seen the announcement. 

 

So some are getting it already.  

Bulletin says dealer can manually load it.

I had an update come through last week. Once in my garage it connected to WiFi and updated. I don’t have the data package for the truck. Anyway it asked me to update so I let it do it. Took about 15 minutes.

Hmmm ...   Had mine since February and have yet to get one update.  Meanwhile, Im still hanging on to the original Sept 2019 build.

 

GM really needs to hire someone from Tesla to teach them what software updates actually mean and how they should be pushed ...

Mine updated last week.  It updated in my parking lot at work yet I have no clue how it connected to the internet since I did not have Wifi around me and I do not have the data package.  I assume GM has its own dedicated carrier for these things.

 

PS  I have no clue what has updated since I have not noticed any visible changes in layout or format.

Mine updated over OnStar and I'm not currently signed up for a data package either.

Until you get the update (and knowing GM, likely afterward too) here is how to fix the XM issue.  You just need to restart XM.  Go to Settings, scroll down to 'Running Applications' and "Stop" Sirius/XM.  Confirm and go back to music to see that it now works.  I have to do this about once a week when it loses signal or otherwise just doesn't work.  This points to an obvious software flaw and given GM's penchant for not fixing stuff right the first time, get used to doing this for a while.

The vehicle can be used normally during the software download. Once the download is
complete, there may be a prompt to accept the installation of the update upon the next
ignition cycle or the next time the vehicle is shifted into P (Park). For most updates, the
vehicle will be disabled and cannot be driven during the installation. The system will
deliver messages indicating success or error during and after the download and
installation processes. 

 

I think this means it can download over your phone when you are driving, and then do the install when it is parked.

2020 Trail Boss LT. Service Steering Column Lock just popped up. Does the update address this??

No, that's something wrong with the truck

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
