Drove to the hospital for a scheduled test and when I shut the truck off in the parking lot I got notification of an update. Then the radio didn't shut off when I opened the door. I cancelled the update until I got back home in my driveway just in case...

 

The update took a little over 10 minutes and I have no clue what it included. I have not had any issues with the truck other than the radio staying on before I allowed the second update to complete.

 

This is the third update since I bought the truck new.

What AnacortesArmyGuy said but I am curious.. what version are you on now?

 

Not sure about GM stereos but oftentimes with updates, the way you find out it's coming is someone else got it

This link will explain the update.  Though released in November 2020, it's only recently making its way to many of us.  Mine updated last week and took eleven minutes.

It's not the same update from a few months ago.  My truck did the prior update a few months ago and just got another update request yesterday.  Based on other people's posts, mine is usually one of the first to receive updates from GM so I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch more people started receiving update requests.

Well, I can only attest to what happened to my truck, and that is the November update is what was applied to my truck last week.  Matter of fact, it's also the only OTA update my truck has applied since I purchased it last July.

Onstar just released a update also. Look at your Settings - About to see what was updated.

Same here, and maybe different trucks get different updates, who knows?

 

I've had my truck for a few days over one year and this was my 3rd update for what its worth, 2nd in the past 3 or 4 months.

Frustrating.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
