Hello everyone, I’ve got a 2016 Silverado WT trim, straight base model manual windows, small io3 stereo, etc. Recently I had electrical problems I believe since my truck would completely die on me. This all began when I was driving around all normal and after coming back to my truck and seeing that at crank it took a little bit more rather than starting up as usual. I ignore it for the night. The next morning it was dead, jumped it and immediately started right up. Later on in the day each time after cutting it off it would die almost immediately. Was very confused so went to autozone and got the battery tested. Long story short got a new battery and was told that was it. Next day was fine all day. The day after same thing happens, completely dead. I take it to a shop and guy says I must have a drain. Ok, he looks around and ends up diagnosing that the stereo is the problem. He left it unplugged and the truck starts up just fine and everything works as should, stereo is in place but unplugged. It’s been around a week like that and the truck is doing just fine. One thing, it has no chime, seatbelt alarm, or even turn signal sound, is this because the radio is unplugged ? Anywho I was simply wanting to know if I could go and just buy another io3 screen and just plug it in and use that. I’m assuming my screen must have a short or a problem, since after it has been unplugged the truck is just fine.

is just the screen unplugged or is the radio unplugged. with having no sounds anymore it probably the radio is unplugged. the screen is just a display of what the radio is set at and i doubt the screen is the problem. you can replace the radio but it will be vin locked unless you buy a new one from gm and have it programmed

I’ll take a look at It tomorrow and see what isn’t plugged up exactly. Is the radio part the “HMI” ?I’ve seen a lot of things about that but never about the radio part. Or do you know where that would be since the screen is sorta separate? Thanks man.

hey man, so instead of taking everything apart and what not I simply started off with checking out the radio fuse. Which was not in place. I was a bit confused so I put in the spare one from the driver side fuse panel and everything came on stereo, sound, chime. I’m assuming the mechanic just removed that so it won’t be on but I am worried that if I put it back in now will it kill my truck again and I don’t want to be left stranded. What you thinking I should do?

      OEM Trailer Hitch Receiver - Impact tightened by shop

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      After my recent rear end bumper damage, body shop has made the repairs and included a new OEM receiver hitch.  I started thinking about how it was tightened...to specs or by hand or ??.  I called the body shop and asked and they said it was tightened by an impact gun.  I said I wanted it tightened to OEM specs.  They said no problem, bring it to shop today and they will torque to specs, which they say is 74 ft/lbs.   A couple of questions,,,,   1.  Should new bolts have been used?  If so, how many are there (bill shows one and four (I assume different areas of receiver).   2.,  Since they torqued with impact gun and now are going to probably loosen and then torque to spces, will that damage/stretch the bolts?   3.  If old bolts were reused (truck has 9000 miles), is that a problem?   4.  Any other things iI may have missed with regard to receiver replacement?   Thanks!

      Defective Brake Pad Wear Sensor?

      By newdude · Posted

      Is this supposed to be in English?  "close to 100 fake, new brake pads sign on the dash board"     Pull the wheels off.  Check the brake pad thickness.  Check the sensors out.  You could have good pads and the sensors aren't in to the worn out position, but have an electrical fault with the sensor or the plug wiring to the sensor.

      Tomorrow I go in for my third joint replacement in jus a little over a year year!  I am not worried about the surgery but I am a little annoyed about going through the recovery process again!  I keep my frustrations to myself as I do appreciate that I am truly lucky.  Knee, hip, and shoulder replacements are routine, safe and improve mobility.  The next couple of days will be slow but every day following will see steady improvement in my mobility.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Practical Application ISO 4406   I think this oil cleanliness thing is going to boil down to ones personal resolve. The information is there but applying it I believe will test your commitment to the machine. Implementation would involve building or buying a prefilter or purchase of an "ISOCLEAN" oil. Then installing a single digit micron bypass system. A good deal of testing and about 99.9% of you are saying at that point....yea.....not my cuppa tea. So what can you do?    You already did the first step. Get educated and leave the bias at the door. Be aware of the its, cleanliness, importance.    Do your own work if you can. Keep the equipment clean. Not just your funnel but the engine bay. Use sealed containers. Think it through.    I believe you will find, as I did, that the tightest absolute full flow filters (Beta 200) will be around 20 micron. That will yield on average a Beta 75 of 10-15 micron. They are few in number by brand and price point. Loose filters are a dime a dozen and even the best brands have lines of loose filters. Some cleverly marketed as "Extended Service". Others will market flow over efficiency. But I think the take away once informed is that the extra cost of the best offered is a bargain. There are cheaper filters with good efficiency that are equal in performance to niche brands with big prices. Your Quick Lube is about a 40 micron unit. This is where your dealer is a plus. the AC-Delco filter is a good step up from those places. Even better if you specify the UPF line.    Be skeptical of marketing. Buying an oil that is made from GTL advertised as the cleanest base oil is using a truth to support a lie. While GTL's are made from debris free gas the processing equipment and post handling is just like any other oil. It also ignores the fact that PAO's and Esters are also gas in origin. Any private prescreening testing you would do, and some have done, would yield a result only good for the batch you tested. AMSOIL and Schaeffer's have built a reputation for paying attention to this detail.    Context. Cold starts account for at least 75%, or more, of an engines wear. But of the remaining 25% ish, over 80% is caused by particle count. Now where do we find high milage motors that use this type of information efficiently? OTR trucking!      Now, anyone want to build a prefilter or off line cleaning system anyway?
