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?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
