I have a 2021 Sierra 1500 AT4 with the 3.0 Duramax.  So I got a notification there was an update for my infotainment system today, it said release date was 9-13-2021 I don't recall the update number.  I did the update.  After the update I started the truck and it is idling very rough to the point that the truck is shaking, the service ABS light is now on, and the traction control is stuck in the off position.  

 

Has anyone else had this happen?

Is the battery low after doing the update?  Not sure how long it takes so curious if you had to leave the truck on, etc?

It only took 11 min for the update and they said the truck must be turned off during the update.  I didn't notice the voltage being low at all after the update. I will check on that in the morning.

OTA updates on these trucks are only for the infotainment computers and not the ECM. 

Something else is causing the ABS issues and idling issues. 

 

 

Mine has been wanting in install the update too.

I it (also a 21 3.0) install today too.

 

We were out and had several stops to make.  At the first one that was going to be longer than the 10 or 12 minutes it needs I had it do the install.

 

On return to truck it said it had completed successfully. 

 

Stopped at several more places before returning home.

Truck running smoothly as it always does.

Gotta love GM and their "Reliability" 6K miles... should not have all these issues with it.

 We're having terrible infotainment troubles. Still no update for us here, the dealer is WEEKs out. We cant even use the hotspot, and havent been able to for months.

 

Onstar says to update our infotainment as its from last year (seems the dealer DOWNGRADED our infotainment when we had the original problem of no internet at purchase). I think it says Build is 105, and v155 is out now?

 

Wonder if there is any other way to get this update.

I live in an area where it will not download properly and I have to take it to the stealer for a proper install.The problem is until I get to the dealer the radio will not work properly even when I push the download later option. They also cannot turn this download feature off just another example of GM engineers spending HOUR of time to work the bugs out of a system they say can't fail LOL

Iirc, 'Download later' will ask again before it downloads. 

You have to 'install now' at one of the times if asks.

That would be great but it never completes the install where I live so it just becomes a viscous circle.  Therefor the only resolve is a hard download at the dealership 100 miles away.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

But you and I? We are not doing this.
