Glad to hear you were welcomed with open-arms there.  Nothing better than a dealership that actually gives 2 ******.  Don't imagine you took a pic before/after?

I did but the file is too big.

Again, I'm not sure this is true. According to the below excerpt from the TSB, the system must have a build number of U150.3 or greater to receive the update OTA (but may still need the update). Any b

Is the same update being sent out to the 2021 vehicles?  I've noticed Android Auto is a bit buggy.  I still can't understand why there is no built in text message functionality and would love to.have that added.  Having to switch to AA just to have a text read is annoying, and AA has no Sirius XM app so then switch back to change channels is also annoying.

GM removed the app for text messages a few years ago my research found. A few people got GM to send them the app but I dont think they will do that anymore.

If your build is W124E and U150.3.6 then you're up to date

So it seems, I do, in fact, have it.  Weird that it doesn't show in my Update History

It was released after september of 2020, so your truck was probably built with it

Is it safe to say that you had less than v150 and still got the over the air update?

I would say so. I didn't look at what version I was on beforehand, but I bought the truck brand new in April 2019 and haven't ever been prompted to update before.

That's where mine was weird.  I bought mine September 10th and immediately had an update.  Want to say the day I bought or the day after?

 

Hasn't updated since but I seem to be on the newest ver

I grew impatient and took my truck to the dealership for the update. It seems to have updated successfully and now I have the latest version too!

I’d of went back and in front of customers tell them the GMC dealer was able to do the update so stop dishing BS to customers. 

Help you blow some steam if nothing else......

@BigMick2020 The old me would have made a scene, but not the current me, I feel that taking the GM survey, replying to the text message about "how was your visit", and no longer using them for service or sales, sending referrals, and telling friends and family about it is better off. Maybe even a google review/dealer rater. My mom is looking at vehicles and was thinking of purchasing a new car in a few years(she plans them out not just a spur of the moment thing), she won't step foot in there now. 

The sales dept did not even make the sale to me because the "used car manager" who I had to work with kept trying to find something on their lot for me instead of using the build sheet I made to find the truck at another dealer, I then found my truck and sent it to them and never heard back from them about it for a week, then they said we can't swap with them right now. I gave them another truck and they just shrugged their shoulders so I drove 80 miles away to pick up my truck, that dealer has nothing but good reviews and I would not hesitate to go there if they were closer but 160 miles round trip is hard to stomach, this local dealer is 10 minutes from my house, the next closest is at least a half an hour on the highway at best.

 

The Chevy Dealer is Ciocca Chevrolet of Princeton NJ so you all know to AVOID them.

 

Go to Patriot Chevrolet Buick GMC of Limerick PA or Coleman GMC Buick Cadillac in Lawrence NJ, best buying and service experience to date of all brands of vehicles I have been at.

It has been more than 2 months since the announcement.

https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-releases-significant-over-the-air-update-for-2020-silverado-sierra-other-vehicles/

 

My truck maintains a WIFI connection and also had free onstar connection over the holidays.

I have not received the latest OTA update, and I have manually checked for it as well.

How many others have gotten it, and how many have not?

I had another OTA update today, this is the 2nd one for me.  This one seems to be different than the November one.

I got the same update which is dated April 9, 2020. The notification showed up on my screen today 2/6/2021 at around 5pm while I was out running errands. I returned home about an hour later to connect to wifi and did the update. No hiccups with the install. I finally have a 10 month old software revision. I don't understand why they are cherry picking and staggering these updates with everyone while they continue to snoop our vehicle's data on a regular schedule with no problem. Good luck everyone who are still waiting.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
