Still have the line. I have a service appointment on the 20th, and if I can, I'll find out what the diagnosis is in case anyone else has this happen.

Great, report back with the resolution. Have not seen that happen on any vehicle before and it will be interesting to know the cause.

Excellent. I’d guess the display will need replacement. Did you try rubbing the screen for the heck of it to see if anything changed?

The screen cover is still on as-shipped. Actually, stuff like airbag tag and plastic over interior handles is still on. It's been non-stop holiday cycle and 4X10 work without NY-observed Monday off, and other things to distract me.

 

Additionally, there's been no mods whatsoever relatable. The only things electrical I've changed are LED headlights and switchback turn signals.

I went to the dealership today. The appointment made 15 days ago was for nothing because it seems only one tech can deal with it, and he had some classes to take with an unknown ETA today. Stuff happens, but they know who's capable of doing certain work, and should know of scheduled absences like classes. That was a 100-mile bust of a round trip.

 

So the appointment is for next week (the line is still there). On the chance a new screen would be needed, I asked if one was there (foreseeing a third trip), to which they said the would have to order it. So a warranty issue could become costly for me. 😬

 

For lulz I asked about the substitute truck that was supposed to have been in at Thanksgiving to the one I ordered in June (theoretically scheduled build 1/23/23). That truck is still in Canada. Guess it was for the best I got the one I did. I'll keep this updated for those interested.

The tech will be required to call for approval before parts can be ordered. Electronics have special steps that must be followed in order to prevent a "parts cannon"

Its a "dead pixel row" and the screen will have to be replaced. 

You might try contacting the service manager at the dealership and explaining your situation including the fact that youve already made the trip once. If he is earning his pay he will try to work with you and may be able to order the new screen to have on hand when you return. If that doesnt work I would open a case with GM customer care with the details of your circumstances.

Appointment today. No stated diagnosis, but I think everyone can agree on 64B's call of dead pixels. Nobody would either preemptively order a screen or get me to the tech/service manager. Worst of all, the "tech" assigned to look at it told me he looked at another truck to "make sure that wasn't how they all were". 🙄

 

Anyway, a screen is supposed to be there 1/30. I go back 2/3 fml. Unless something doesn't work out, I'll consider this done on updating.

Gotta make sure they all don’t look like that!!! That’s a hoot.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
