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.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
