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.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
