After a couple months, the shifting became less aggressive and the MPGs are similar at slower speeds. The biggest difference I noticed now is driving above 70mph. I used to get about 20 mpg driving 75mph. At those speeds, I'm lucky to get 18 now. The new programming seems to be set for optimal mpg between 55 and 65 mph.

Well I called and scheduled mine like I stated, they called me back though and stated my truck is not part of the recall.  It's a 2020 2500hd diesel.  She stated also that it appears my components are not impact by this.  She canceled my appointment and said no need for it for my truck.  

 

SO what gives?

Well, good news. After a couple of weeks and some long trips, the truck started shifting as it did before. My mpg has also increased back to where it was. I guess it just takes a while to learn.

Same here.  Seems after a couple days of driving with mine it is back to normal.

I dropped mine off today, they killed the ECM during the update. A new ECM is on backorder. At least they gave me a decent rental though while I wait an indefinite amount of time.

I got the recall done a couple weeks ago and there is a noticeable difference in the way it drives. It operates like it is in a constant regen cycle. It holds lower gears more often, keeping the RPMs higher and lowering my fuel economy. It is also more aggressive on the downshifting when I let off the accelerator. This is how it felt during the regen cycle prior to the tcm update, except it happens all the time now. I verified with a scanner that I am not in a regen, i was at about 85% soot level.

 

Stop and go traffic around town would get me around 14 to 15mpg before. Now, I am getting 11 to 12. On the highway at about 70mph, I was easily getting 20mpg or more. Now, it is more like 18 to 19mpg.  I hope the transmission is still trying to figure things out and will get better.

Same thing here! Just got it done last week, drove about 1600 miles and noticed a sad drop in fuel economy. On a 759 mile trip to Idaho I would get an average of 18.6-19.1  mpg. Now I’m at 16.8. Nothing else has changed except a new air filter and new oil. Dpf display on the highway came on for 40 minutes. What gives??

I had to reschedule the recall on my truck until this morning.  I am thinking the tcm part of the "upgrade" has some issues. My truck on the way home felt like it was in tow/haul mode and my mpg's have taken a substantial hit.  After the issues with the brakes, the dealership seems to be getting irritated.  Hate to have to take it back, but does not seem right and the damned thing cost too much money not to be right.  

Tell me about the brake issue. I’ve had nonstop nasty squealing and humming since I bought it 2.5 yrs ago.

When I just had mine in, they said they could not replicate the brakes squealing.  She asked if it was just in the mornings, and went on to tell me that some squealing is normal with these heavy duty pads.  They "resurfaced the pads".   Guess for now I will just keep my music on to where I don't hear them.

I had the recall done on 7/5/22 prior fuel mileage was 17-22 best 26. Now post mileage is 13-18. Acts like it’s always in regen.

I’m so effing pissed about this. Same here. It’s ridiculous, especially with fuel prices as they are, not to mention in Commufornia. I spoke with GM twice (two separate occasions with a woman who has no idea what she’s doing, honestly) and have been told that I’ll have to wait 6-8 months for a new update…if it’s ready by then. Whaaaaaaat?? All I want is to put it back where it was, undoing the nefarious “voluntary” recall and reverting to the previous version. Does anyone have any insight on how we can make that happen?

Well my 2020 still shows NO recalls.  So they won't do the recall on it.   In addition, like you @Libertized, my brakes still squeal even though I took in twice for that before 14k miles and they said it is "working as designed". 

 

Good luck on the mileage.

Does anybody use the GMC App? I opened it up and it told me I had the recall on my vehicle. Immediately I noticed the Check Engine light appeared in the dash.  I had the recall done and when I picked up my truck the check engine light was off. My truck had me sign into my account, which kept failing, then I remembered that I had changed my email account on GMC, so I created a new account. That allowed me to sign in correctly. I opened my GMC app and what should appear again? The dialog stating there was a recall and when I looked at the dash again, the check engine light was back on. Ugghhh... I'll take it back to the dealer tomorrow to have a look at it. But anybody else seen the Check Engine light behavior?  I know the one person from GM monitors this forum, I'm wondering if this is normal, is the GMC app and the truck really communicating like that?

I too have insane brake squeal issues, my dealership told me it was normal. I don't think so, not on an $80k truck.

    • Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished
    • As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.
    • That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
    • That makes sense, and I agree with most of that.   I think the product would need both: 1. a default powertrain template, so it is useful out of the box; 2. user-selected priority parameters, so the owner or shop can choose what they want to see first.   Different users are going to care about different things. One owner may care about oil pressure and voltage. Another may care about misfire trend, AFM/DFM behavior, or U-codes. A shop may want communication events and repeatability first. Your baseline point is probably the most important one. Raw data is not very useful unless the report can show what normal looked like for that vehicle under similar conditions.   The way I would think about it is: - start with a basic known-good baseline - learn normal behavior for that specific vehicle over time - allow the event to be overlaid against baseline - show whether the event was a one-time spike or a repeatable pattern - provide a simple severity level, but with clear limits on what that severity means   For example, early severity could be something like: - Info: event captured, no obvious abnormal pattern - Watch: value moved outside baseline, but not repeated - Warning: repeatable abnormal pattern under similar conditions - Critical: communication loss, voltage drop, bus-off, reset, or severe repeated event   I would not want the first version to say “replace this part.” That would be overclaiming unless there is repair-confirmed data behind it. It would be more honest to say “this pattern deserves inspection.”   On the OBD port question, I think OBD absolutely has a role. OBD is probably the right place for: - DTCs - freeze frame - VIN - calibration information - normal scan-tool parameters - Mode 6 / enhanced diagnostic data if available The reason I am still looking at an ECM-side recorder is that the failure may happen before anyone connects a scan tool. If the owner plugs in a scanner after the event, the pre-event evidence may already be gone unless the ECU happened to save it. So I do not see this as “OBD versus ECM-side.” I see it more like: - ECM-side recorder: always armed, rolling buffer, event evidence - OBD/DLC companion: DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration, normal scan data - phone/cloud: status, notes, upload, report generation, notifications   I agree that phone connection and push notifications would be useful. I just would not want the phone or cloud connection to be required for capture. The recorder should save the event locally even if the phone is not connected. The phone should help with event marking, download, notes, upload, alerts, and report viewing.   For a default GM V8 event report, would this list make sense? - RPM - calculated load / MAP - throttle position - vehicle speed - gear / torque converter state if available - coolant temperature - oil pressure - oil temperature if available - battery voltage - commanded AFM/DFM state if available - actual AFM/DFM state if available - misfire counters / roughness by cylinder if available - fuel trims - relevant U-codes / communication events - bus-off / lost periodic message / module reset / voltage drop events Which of those would you remove, and what would you add?
    • I went to the county a few years back to dispute my property taxes. To do that I hired an appraiser and a lawyer. The County Assessor wished to argue that the homes in my neighborhood the appraiser used were all 'distressed properties" and not representative of the "Market Average".    My response was," Of the 50 homes in our subdivision 43 of them were "distressed properties" under bank foreclosure and as such "Distressed IS the market". Lawyer about choked on his coffee and handed the Assessor the 'receipts'.    I won that case on the evidence provided by the Lawyer and the Appraiser.    We have the same thing going on here. My statements were based on the GOVERNMENTS NATIONAL DATA and yours on local markets in areas of your interest. They are both correct....   Thing is, this divergence was based on NATIONAL and not on LOCAL. I think you even understand that. But like you said, we are both stubborn and hardheaded.    I do not see any advantage to disengagement.  But that said we can step back to compose ourselves.
