Good afternoon all,

 

So I recently purchased a '17 GMC Sierra 1500 from a dealership not even a week ago with 65k miles and I'm already having an issue. I'm currently stranded at work cause my truck won't start. When I was trying to leave for lunch, I turned the ignition and it would just click a bunch of times. I was getting a battery saver activated, roll windows up, and stabilitrak message on the dash. Also the voltage is reading around 11v. I have all my lights turned to auto, door lights are off.. the only thing I can think of is that I had my phone charger plugged into the USB port. Any suggestions? Could it be the battery, alternator? The only thing I have done to the truck was install a CAI. I'm probably going to end up getting a jump from a coworker and taking it straight to the dealership. 

 

TIA

Welcome to the site.

 

If your truck had been started and was at running temp when you bought it, going to say you battery is almost dead.

Old car lot trick, make sure they are running "as good as they will" before customer gets there to sign papers.

Just got a jump start at work, it cranked over slowly but started. Now check engine light is on and turn signals were giving indicator failure message. The code it was giving was P10E1. I’ll bring it to the dealership tomorrow to have them deal with it.

If the truck starts when you jump the battery then for sure you got a weak battery. 

 

Also have you try to measure what voltage you get while running to make sure it was due to a bad/weak alternator?

Update: I put it on the charger this morning cause I was suppose go to the dealer to have them look at it since it’s still under warranty. I still can’t get it to start. I turn the key and hear multiple clicks. It was reading at 98% charged with 12V and when I cranked it over it just clicked and brought battery percentage down to 47%.

Battery isn't charged at 12V.

Bad Battery or not charged.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.
