I received a call from GM corporate. They are sending a service engineer out to my dealer hopefully within a week. I also have a weird electrical issue that caused 89 codes to pop with a check engine light. They also talked about looking into GM repurchasing the truck. Not sure how that works but at this point I’m leaning that way. I have no faith in this truck 😞 too bad too it’s a beautiful vehicle.

My philosophy is never not to judge by the mistake itself but rather what's done to resolve it. There's something wrong with these trucks' ability to control a trailer. With such a complex machine, it

A GM feildengineer came out a little over a week ago to look at my truck. He brought a new controller switch with him and swapped mine out. I have only had the chance to tow with it once for about a 1

Just picked up my truck.  I did not get a part number, i will review the work order again tomorrow, but it didn't appear to be on it.  I'll try to tow this weekend (probably Sunday as we are pretty bo

I'm giving them until the end of the year, that's just over 3 months from purchase - I have engaged a lawyer who took my case and provided him all the sales, window sticker, phone records, GM case numbers and documentation stating "they don't have a fix" - that was key to the lack of "fix attempts". I'm in PA, I have 12 months/12,000 miles to kick off the process.

 

But agreed, I love the truck, I love the 3.0 Duramax to tow my small camper, but dammit, I need that trailer brake controller to work w/o the wires/aftermarket unit sitting on my center console.  While that is working with my trailer brakes - the "Trailer Brake Disabled" error still pops on my dash info screen every time I start the truck as a cruel reminder of the money I paid for this feature that I am not getting as of yet...

After submitting my BBB claim, GM contacted me.  They offered me the same "fly an engineer out to my dealership to look at the issue".  I spoke to the BBB after GM made the offer and BBB said that will pause my case for as long as GM takes to work on the truck.  GM had no idea how long it would take the engineer to potentially fix the issue.  When pressed, the GM representative said they have no known fix, and in fact, they believe it's an issue with an OEM component that is unavailable currently due to the standard "supply chain issues".  So instead of letting GM play guinea pig with my truck, I declined so that my BBB claim can move forward.

Hello, does anybody here have the camera issue too (white lines at the top, see my first post at the beginning of the thread) when the trailer is connected? I hope my two issues are related, and fixing the trailer brake controller will also fix the camera which is otherwise unusable when is dark outside. Thanks!

I've been following this channel - he seems to be having back up camera issues - however I don't know if he has the brake controller issue (he hasn't towed from what I can tell).

Anyone have any luck getting this resolved?

I opened a case with the BBB last week.  I was contacted by GM this week and we had a discussion on the issue and what my expectations were.  The GM rep said they should get back to me by the end of the week.  I live in Southeast Michigan (bought the truck right down the road from the GM Milford Proving Grounds, as ironic as that sounds), so we will see what their proposal is. Luckily, I took and shared a picture of the trailer failure message showing the truck only had 302 miles when this failure first appeared.

I had an exchange of emails with GM in October when GMCustomerService contacted me on this forum. They validated with my dealer the error code C159C and said the GM engineers are aware of the problem and working on a solution. This was on October 19th. No news since.

I have the same issue with the trailer breaks not the camera. I have anew 2022 sierra and i took it in yesterday and was told that they are working on resolving the problem. The dealer did say that the battery was showing low voltage and that could be the cause 50/50. They replaced the battery and I will pick it up and find out it that was the issue.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.
