It required 2 visits?

I had to go twice because the first visit, the dealer did TSB 21-NA-228 at my direction but the programming for that didn't work in my truck. When I went yesterday, they did 21-NA-056 and the programming for that one did work. If I would have known about 056 the first time, I wouldn't have had to go twice.

Found this TSB released last month stating there is a factory offered "fix" for those who want to do away with the idle time-out.   #21-NA-228: Full Size Trucks Idle Time-out Disable - (Oct

Interesting. I didn't catch that "feature" in the owners manual, but there it is, "Extended Parking" with the timeouts listed. Good to know. I'm fairly certain I hate RKE/rfid fob stuff now. Gimme a d

If you have a key I don't believe it matters, the auto stop feature will still shut it down.  If you notice your key is more of a button than anything.  You don't have to hold the key in the start position until it starts, if you just blip it, the starter stays running until it's started anyway.

So with the key, the vehicle will run after you put it in park until you shut it off. If you have the "push to start" button, then from the factory the vehicle will idle after you put it in park for 30 minutes with the keyless fob out of the vehicle and 1 hour with the fob in the vehicle then it shuts off. This programming removes the idle time-out feature the vehicle came with so it only shuts off if the button is pushed....or it runs out of fuel...which ever comes first.

Are you sure that with the physical key it won't time out electronically regardless?

I don't believe so(I could be wrong seeing as I don't have one) but I suppose that is a possibility. I had a buddy that had a 19 custom and his didn't time out after an hour but knowing GM, they could have changed the BCM programming lol

I would be interested to know.

I have some questions.

I had this installed today and maybe I don't understand how to make it work.

My 2500HD has a keyfob.

First try I started the truck sitting in it, got out, pushed the lock on the remote and waited to see how long it would run. It ran about 10 minutes and shut off.

Next I just did the rgular remote start with the keyfob and it still ran 10 minutes and shut off.

Any idea what sequence I need to do to make it run longer?

Thanks fo any help

Start it with the push button and try not locking it.

I don't do anything special to keep it running. Start the truck via the pushbutton, when I get out I lock it with the fob, and it stays running. If I use the remote start, I start it, let it run for a bit, push the pushbutton, and continue on. Not sure what's going on with your truck sir...

Thanks for the suggestion but my goal is to be able to leave it running, get out and lock the door so dog can have AC and not have anyone open the door to take the dog or the truck.

This morning I tried what was suggested by getting in the truck, started with push button then got out locked the door with the remote.

it ran between 10 and 20 minutes then shut down.

I am thinking the update isn’t working properly.

I appreciate the replies

@mrtizzomdid the program also extend remote start?  Right now it is 15 mins and off, 15 mins and off.  After total of 30 mins you have to manually start.  Also, did you go to Wenzel or Graff?

Tried calling the dealership and GM tech support about this, they all said that they have never heard of it.  I keep going round and round with them over this and it's getting old.  I'm about ready to take my truck back or sell it.

It didn't extend the remote start time...just keeps it from turning off automatically after you start it manually. I went to Graff...GM gave them a hard time about getting the programming not only for me but a buddy of mine whos also on the fire dept with me.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
