Have to ask...Did you check the settings and switches (brightness, etc.)?

Brightness setting (on the HUD adjustment switches, not the dash brightness) was my first guess too.

 

If that's not it, on a 600 mile vehicle, my next guess would be a connector to completely snapped together.

Presumable you're gonna take it in.

 

Curious to hear what it turns out to be.

I’m not trying to be a dick but I did the same thing when I bought mine. I couldn’t get it to work because I was holding the brightness button to turn it up instead of repeatedly pressing the button. Felt pretty dumb after that one. I’m sure you’ve tried but thought I would share. Hopefully you are smarter than me?. And hope the dealer fixes it for ya.

That's contrary to the OM instructions....

 

Pull and hold to brighten the display.
 

Press and hold to dim the display. Continue to hold to turn the display off.
 

The HUD image will automatically dim and brighten to compensate for outside lighting.
Use +/- to adjust as needed.
 

The HUD image can temporarily light up depending on the angle and position of sunlight on the HUD display. This is normal.
 

Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image harder to see.

I've noticed if its set too dim and I'm wearing polarized glasses, its pretty much invisible.  Even if its turned full bright, polarized sun glasses filter most of it out.

Interesting. When I wear my polarized sunglasses I have lots of brightness left to use. I usually keep mine on the dimmer side, but it’s easy enough to see.

Do you have more than one pair of polarized sunglasses?

Try another pair.

The HUD works as a reflection off the windshield so most good polarized lenses should significantly dim the display.

A good test is take the glasses off and hold them in front of your eyes and rotate them. The HUD image should get brighter and darker. If the image stays the same the sunglasses lenses aren’t really polarized.

Sorry OP, I don’t have an answer for your question but hope you have it sorted out by now.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
