My 2021 Chevy Silverado Service ESC  & Service Power Steering Drive Lights comes on and  then eventually goes off.  It comes on while driving or just parked.  One the lights comes on the steering wheel usually locks up first, then allows you to turn (but using a lot of muscles).  I almost hd several wrecks because it came on while driving and I could barely turn or steer.  I notices a recall on other Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac for the same year, but not the Silverado.  Anyone else with a Silverado had tis issue.

Pull back the RF fender liner, the back end of it.  Take a look at the ground strap that's bolted there at the body mount.  It's likely super green or broken.  Replace that and see what happens.

SMA did a video on a 2019 that had the same issue, it was the ground strap on the passenger side. 

At the ~29:00 mark he shows the location of the ground strap, after tis video came out i checked mine.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.

      It's like saying Bill O'Reilly is "just" a journalist.         Lauren Fix, widely known as "The Car Coach," is a prominent automotive journalist, television personality, and self-identified conservative. She is a frequent contributor to right-leaning networks and platforms, offering commentary that intersects the automotive industry, consumer economics, and conservative political perspectives. [1, 2, 3] Media and Commentary Network Contributions: Fix serves as the National Automotive Correspondent for Newsmax and is a frequent guest on Fox News and Fox Business. Video Platforms: She has contributed to PragerU, where she has hosted videos critiquing government mandates on vehicles. [1, 2, 3] Core Positions Anti-EV Mandates & Fuel Policies: Fix regularly critiques government subsidies and mandates for electric vehicles (EVs), framing them as impractical and burdensome to the average consumer. She advocates for consumer choice and supports traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. [1, 2, 3] Economic Analysis: Her commentary often emphasizes the impacts of fuel prices, inflation, and federal regulations on drivers. [1, 2, 3] Political Alignment: On her public channels, she actively supports deregulation, "drill baby drill" energy policies, and the removal of government restrictions on auto sales and manufacturing. [1, 2] For analysis from Lauren Fix on how consumer automotive choices can align with political leanings:

      Wouldn't swapping out the original AFM/DFM parts for a complete Delete Kit be the best route to go if one could afford to go that route?

      It comes with directions but yes, generally, it's the same.  Also, get you the dipstick stuff to install dipstick so you have one.
