How do you unlock & lock the theftlock on a 2004 Silverado with the EM,CD,tape options. I just got my truck and want to unlock the system so i can work on it.

Here are the RPO's UB1,UE1,UK3,U2K.

Welcome to the forum. On the 2004, you don't have to do anything to lock or unlock the radio. The radio checks against the VIN number on the vehicle it is originally installed and unlocks itself as long as the VIN numbers match. :confused:

Thanks carguru,

I had a bad experence with my Grand Prix. It had a code in the radio when i got it from GM and when it was time to change the battery the radio wouldnt work. I didnt want the same to happen with this truck. My 2001 didnt have the theftlock radio..

Thanks again.

Anytime. :thumbs: On the full sized trucks, they changed the radios in 2003. On the 2001, it should have had a theftlock radio. Maybe it was not set. The radios were pretty much the same from '95-'02.

My 01 Silverado was an "LT" also and had the CD & Tape but no XM and it didnt have the theftlock. I checked when i got it to make sure and disable it but it didnt have it. :thumbs:

Anyway i sure like the XM radio in this truck. Infact the changes between this truck and the 01 is amazing considering they are option wise the same except for the XM and ride control.

Your 2001 should have a radio like this. It does have theftlock. For these, you have to set a code in the radio to activate theftlock. If you didn't set the code, the blinking light doesn't come on.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      Those are parts changers. It can get expensive though. I was a mechanic for 30 yrs. My truck has made this noise since new. I really don`t know what it is. It really doesn`t bother me. I`m still in warranty but have not brought it to the dealer.   I`m not buying the oil pump prime thing. Screw the TSB. I believe it`s in the trans pump gears. They rattle when that piss poor ULV oil drains off after a while. I believe those sharp tooth gears, with backlash, can rattle when dry. Not a vane style oil pump. Wonder who`s right? Me, or the TSB?🤔   Maybe I`m wrong?

      On the PCM side, blue PCM connector, pin 18, solid gray color (no stripe) wire circuit 435.  That is the EGR low circuit which an issue on that line (be it the wiring, the PCM or the EGR valve or system performance) will trigger P0401 when it tests that code.     There is also a VERY old TSB that states to make sure you clear the DTCs ANY time the PCM is unplugged, reprogrammed, or if the EGR valve is unplugged or replaced as the PCM has an auto zero function in the PCM for the EGR pintle data   61-65-59: SMU - SECTION 6E - ENGINE CONTROLS - CLEAR DTC'S - (Nov 25, 1996)   "CLEAR ANY DTCS FROM THE VCM ANYTIME AFTER DOING VCM REPLACEMENT/ PROGRAMMING, TURNING THE IGNITION ON WHILE THE EGR VALVE IS DISCONNECTED, OR REPLACING THE EGR VALVE."   Some diagnostic aid notes in the GM diag on P0401 for a 1995 S10 Blazer:   Diagnostic Aids Notice: In order to prevent further damage if the EGR valve shows signs of excessive heat, check the exhaust system for blockage (possibly a plugged converter) using the procedure found on the restricted exhaust system check. If the exhaust system is restricted, repair the cause; one of which might be an injector which is open due to one of the following reasons: Stuck Grounded driver circuit Check the oil for possible fuel contamination if a stuck open fuel injector is found. Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect VCM harness connectors for the following conditions: Backed out terminal BL 18 Improper mating Broken locks Improperly formed or damaged terminal Poor terminal to wire connection Damaged harness Intermittent test - If connections and harness check OK, monitor a digital voltmeter connected between terminal BL 18 and ground while moving related connectors and wiring harness. If the failure is induced, the voltage reading will change.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      This biggest difference in a HM oil is in contains some  "Seal Conditioner". DEXOS oils and most shelf oils are "Dry" oils which over time harden seals. "Seal Conditioner" is more times than not, an Ester. Addition will soften the seals over time but will not repair one that leaks or has cracked. Esters also provide some cleaning but these HM oils don't contain enough to solve out hard deposits. Just the soft stuff.  Also a function of an Ester.    Ester's are not 'allowed' as a 'co-base" by license. Weird, right?  A certain amount is allowed as an additive. Bunch of game playing is what it is. It's why HM oils don't have a DEXOS approval.    DEXOS is a license 'with' a specification but is not a specification. Never was, never will be. It's GM's slot machine always paying the house. Use what you like.
