Hello,

    I am having a issue that just made itself apparent about a week ago. Every time I engage the left turn signal the high beams flash. MY truck is a 2020 2500 High Country, with 42k on it. Please help.

Thank you for the response. That is what I was assuming, I am really curious if anyone else is having this issue? I love this truck, but it seems as if I keep having more and more issues with it and now that it is out of warranty that is pretty upsetting.

I'm having this same issue (high beams flash on when putting on the left blinker only) . Started last week. 2020 Silverado 1500 LTZ, 55,000 miles. The turn signal lever felt/acted different for a day or so, then the high beams started the flash but only while engaging the left turn signal. Guess it will go to the dealer.

2021 Silverado with 57k just started doing the same thing.  Cheap parts I assume.  When I pull down to signal it flashes the brights.  Likely just cheap plastic internals in the lever that have worn down and it's now able to make the connection with lights switch and turns them on.  If I'm super careful I can keep it from clicking over and not flashing, but it's become a complete nuisance.

I think GM has had this issue for a while. My 2007 CTSV had this issue and my neighbor Chevy SS  both times it was left blinker . But my car's high beams stayed on. New switch GM stalk fixed the issue .

Update, I finally got around to taking my truck in to the dealer to have this blinker/high beam thing addressed. Yep, replace the multi-switch. Of course, they don't have one. It will be in, in a week. another trip to the dealer. At least it's covered under warranty.

I am having a similar issue. 2016 Silverado LTZ 1500. At first i started getting a fast left blinker flash and a warning light saying "left rear turn signal indicator failure". They are LED, so i had to buy a new set of tail lights. Well, the problem didn't go away. Not only do i have that problem,  but now my truck has decided to start flashing the left high beam with the left blinker. Everything else works as it should. Could it be the multi switch?

Same. 2022 Sierra 1500, 38k miles. High beams engage on right signal. 

Same. Did you ever get it fixed? What was it? Mine just started doing it on the right side

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
