when i start the truck, radio volume comes on VERY loud.  In settings, i set the maximum startup volume to very low.  That works for a couple of starts, but then it resets itself to a loud position.  It doesn't matter what the volume is when i turn the truck off, it comes on VERY loud

talked to our salesman and the service manager.  They never heard of the problem.  A friend with a 2021 Silverado is having same problem.  He's taking if in for service tomorrow.  I will tell you what he finds out.

I have had a problem where my radio starts up crazy loud for a couple seconds then "sets" itself to MY Profile settings. After researching in here, there is sometimes a delay from startup to when your profile syncs and it uses your settings. During that delay it will be at whatever the settings are when there is no profile selected. I am trying to delete my profile now and use the "no profile" now with the sound settings at my preferred levels and see if that helps. My thought is that if you set the NO Profile settings to what you want, then there re sign in with your profile, there shouldn't be any issues anymore. IF your the only one that really drives your truck then really no profile is needed.

I don't think I have a profile set up.   Or if it's even an option on my truck?  How do you even check for a profile?

When you hit the home button for your display there should be an icon that has either "Profile" or Maybe "Users" Should look like a person of some sort. Usually if you use the same key fob it'll sign you in automatically since you're using that key.

Hmm maybe it's not on the LT's. I haven't noticed it anyway. I'll have to check.  Thanks.

No 'users' or 'profile' on my home screen but I remote started it then got in a couple mins later when I turned it on and went to drive away. It was quiet.  The way I had tried to set it before.  I'll have to check again next time just starting normally and see if it still stays how it was set before.

Yep!  Profiles are more of a pain in the ass than they're worth.  Since I'm basically the only one driving it, I nixxed that whole deal

Damn. Mine seemed to be working. Then started it up and bam loud AF again. Then was good again next time. It seems to have a mind of its own. I always had the same key fob in my pocket each time too.  I'll get this figured out eventually I guess. Otherwise I'll have to mention it when I go for my first oil change.  (On a side note. Do these things still come with first 2 years oil changes for free?  Otherwise I'll do it myself)

Yes. Call the dealer. There is a patch for the 2021. Took about 30 minutes. I did not leave it all day. Seems to be holding altho it is a patch.  1-2 months for the software fix according to my dealer.

Damn.  I ain't got time for the dealer. But it is what it is I guess.  Suppose a visit there will be in my future sooner or later then.  Was hoping to wait til the first oil change(if they are still complimentary for the first few) but it's kind of annoying and the neighbor probly doesn't appreciate it at 5am every morning either.

I logged out of my profile and returned to guest mode.  I went into settings/sounds and turned the start up volume nearly all the way down.  I logged back into my profile and now now no more LOUD start up!

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      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.
