I've read most of the post on this and I do not recall anyone having a long crank, no start from the auto start/stop.   The ones that do it most offend seem to get with the remote start as well as the dash button start.   If your foot is touching the gas or the floor mat is laying on the gas, you will get long crank, no start as well.  

I just tried starting mine with the diesel pedal floored. It actually started right up. Maybe I’ll use both pedals every time 😂

 

Anyone know why the auto start/stop would be unaffected by this issue?

There’s nothing you did that will avert it happening again, and as of now GM has no clue how to make this problem go away. They are 0 for 3 on bulletins to fix it, and tightening fuse block bolts, hol

Has anyone that does not disable the Auto Start/Stop feature ever had this happen at a stop?

 

Most of my commute to work and back is on the highway so I just leave my start stop function turned on.  I do get caught at several stop lights on my way to the highway from time to time and have not had any issues with the truck starting when I let off the brake.  My no start issues have only happened after the truck has sat for a few hours at a time.  It has always started on my 2nd try.  

 

As long as it continues to start on the 2nd try and at the low frequency that I'm currently experiencing, there's no way in hell I'll be trading it in on any other pickup offering out there currently as I'm really digging this little 3.0 straight six.

The link didn’t work! If this is actually the fix, I almost feel bad for the guys trading these trucks in for Tundras 😂

Feel bad for them?  They are getting a much better truck.

Go trade in your AT4. Plenty of Tundra owners would love to have it. I personally will take the fuel mileage and torque with an intermittent no start event over one all day.

Probably because its not a bulletin and doubtful given how new it is that its been posted anywhere else either. Dealer will have that document under that PIP# :)

My truck has been at the dealers for the past 2 weeks. They called me on the 1st and said GM is releasing a fix on Monday (today). Said it would be a ECU reprogram like last time, Im guessing this is the fix.

Keep us updated. I just got back from the dealer with the alleged fix but their printer wasn’t working or something. Guy said he would email the work order to me tonight but he said they replaced a relay. I’ll update when I see the paperwork.

I picked up my truck. Got their once service closed so didn’t get a chance to speak to the advisor. Receipt says reprogram ecm that was released on 10/04/21 and perform setup. One thing i noticed right away was the truck cranks for longer now. It makes you feel like your going to have an extended crank but starts up.

That’s interesting. My advisor didn’t email my ticket so I can’t verify what they actually did to mine. I’ll reach out to them later this morning.

Happened again on Sunday morning - key fob start, cold, sitting all night.  

 

I went almost two months without any issues despite still not going to the dealer (waiting for the fix or first oil change, whichever comes first).  I really hope those with the new ECM update report back with any available information.

      MPG at 600 miles

      100% agree, there are a lot of variables. I definitely do not drive I’ve like a grandpa but also don’t drive like I stole it. Truck is currently in the shop so I’ll have to get weight later. The price for driving it doesn’t bother me. My precious was a 6.2l so the cost between the two is a wash.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By c4racer2 · Posted

      that is pretty awesome MPG there!  I think so far one observation is these trucks do way better on MPG under 65mph vs 70+ and they really suffer at 75+   I noticed on the stretches into NE on 76 and 80 which is posted 75MPH and I was doing 82 I was getting more like 13.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By newdude · Posted

      No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.

      MPG at 600 miles

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.
