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

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
