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

What a mess. I had to manually shut off the lights. Got all kinds of messages, service steering, battery save mode, battery low, steering column, lower window, etc.. SCREAMING!!

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.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Hi all - my current truck is a 2022.5 1500 High Country 3.0. I bought the truck used last year. After doing some digging, I noticed that my truck's software is stuck on the original build from 2022. I have no available software updates. I talked to my dealer about this and they recommended not trying to force an update since the 36,000 mile warranty is expired. This is a big bummer since there have been many major releases since that have fixed small issues and improved speed/usability.   For reference, the current software build number is: full_gminfo37_gb-user 10 W158E-W164.4.2-QIH22B-563.3 158 release-keys Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I just forget about it and move on, or try a different dealer?

      Using zip ties but 2-3 they snap due to sharp edges. Just using a shoestring. Last longer. 🤣

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      Yes. You need to check out that thing, and the hub further.
