Just tried again after an hour charge. Same problem. Also said service steering column lock. Left a message with my dealer service. Did a remote lock but headlights are not going off. I will give it a few minutes.

God I'm starting to miss the days of fixing trucks with a test light and dwell meter!

Driver's master window switch.  We just had a truck in 4 times within 2 weeks.  It was bad to the point that it killed the battery.  The one we had kept putting the truck in to "key learning active" t

Does your truck actually HAVE a steering column lock? My '24 does not, and I got that message on mine at one point. They ended up having to re-flash the Gateway Communication Module because a bad OTA update sent me software that wasn't actually for my truck (and this is all-too-common).

Great point. In my frustration I didn't even think about it. Finally laughing.

The truck is with the dealership. I am expecting at least a month. I gave the techs permission to drive it anywhere they need to finally find a solution. We will see how it goes. Hopefully GMC will step up and help them figure this out. There are enough of us who have verbalized the problem, not to mention those who have not, that it should be a priority for GMC.

Got mine back after months in the shop, again. So far, so good. Its usually about the time I start loving the truck again that it acts up. I had a heart attack a couple of weeks ago and I'm hoping things are fixed with the truck, finally. But if it does it again, the problem will probably take care of itself because that should give me the big one! lol

Well, after months and months of downtime, the latest try (which was pulling a pin in the drivers door) seems to be the solution. I have tested it now for over a month and I have had no problems. The only glitch I have found is with my Kicker Speaker system in the tailgate (not very loud anymore) but that could be completely unrelated. Keeping my fingers crossed with the colder weather coming in I will use the remote start more often. But it seems fixed. Not having it several times for months on end kind of soured me on the vehicle but here's to hoping I can get some good use out of it now after a couple of years of this.

So far so good for me after I fixed my leaky back glass.  Evidently water was leaking on to electrical connections back behind the rear seats.  The dealership was clueless.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
