What does this entail?  How do you know what it is or if you have it?  

Do all 2023's have whatever it is?

2022 had 2 models. The LTD which was the same as the '19-'21 and the '22 refresh. Refresh had a new interior, other standard features and different front end.

What level is LTD?  Is that "Limited"?  I'm not aware of that level but I'm new to GMC Sierra.   

 

I've seen a bunch of different interior pictures and I can't tell what's what (2020-2022). 

 

The exterior is also hard to nail down.  I look up 2022 Sierra and there are like 3 different front ends.  It's all very odd and confusing.  

 

I guess I'm glad I got mine this year, 2023.  I'm new to GMC, was always a Silverado driver, and the levels have changed quite a bit since around 2016 (last time I bought a truck).  Now there are different SLT levels, which is very confusing and not good for business in my opinion.  

Maybe it's all to do with the sucky supply issues.

To eliminate confusion, just look up 19-21 (LTD) and then 2023 (refresh). Taking 2022 out of the equation will give you an answer on looks.

I have a ‘22 Limited. It is nothing more than a leftover 21. The 22 refresh has a new interior and a different grill. Otherwise basically the same.

Refresh also has more standard safety features along with projector headlights.

2022 refresh look like 2023.

 

2022 LTD look like 2021.  

 

Refresh and forward all have new front clips, mid trims and higher have all new dashboards, cluster, radio and controls.  All trims changed vehicle electrical platform to the GM VIP (GM Global B) architecture.

Lots of under the skin changes on refresh.  LTD trucks are on GM Global A electrical architecture, refresh and onward are on GM VIP (Global B).  As a result, the way the modules communicate with each other is changed somewhat, even the tire pressure monitoring and sensors.  Almost all major programming at the dealer is done with the vehicle off now too.

Pretty simple. Unless you get the lowest trim level which retains the older dash.

Definitely glad I got the 2023 with the huge screen; my old a$$ eyes need it.  I kind of like the button rail down lower though.

I think I saw somewhere that they just changed the start button, maybe 2024.

Also keep in mind Denali and AT4 get unique dashes. SLT and lower on top, AT4/Denali on bottom.

      AC diagnostic on a neo-classic Camaro

      By Atlas · Posted

      tldr; Shade tree mechanic stumped by variable displacement AC compressor.   Not Silverado related, but for my 2000 Camaro SS. I've never really used the AC since acquiring the car a good handful of years ago. I plan to take it on a trip this summer so I wanted to make sure the AC was in good shape. On an 73 degree day in the shop with the car idling I set the AC on "Max", temp set to cold, and fan on hi. The compressor turned on and air turned nice and cold.   I let it run for several minutes but noticed the compressor never cycled off. The engine was up to temperature enough that it began cycling the cooling fans on high. I had a set of manifold gauges hooked up and it was consistently at about 25 psi on the low side and between 200 and 225 psi (warm engine) on the high side. Per temperature charts, the low side is low (should be 30-35) and the high side is a little high (up to 170 per chart). I read the low pressure as potentially being under-charged underscored by a continually running compressor This was also underscored by temp readings of mid-20 degrees at the vents. Not just cold, freezing cold. Switching off the AC but leaving the HVAC fan on high produced a deluge of condensation underneath the vehicle. I was getting ice buildup on the evap core most likely.   The low reading (25psi) concerned me that the compressor wasn't switching off so I swapped out the pressure switch. No change in behavior, still ran constantly.   The AC clutch works fine as it engages/disengages with the HVAC switch on command. The compressor relay is good as I swapped it with two different known good relays just to be sure. Having eliminated that, and the pressure switch, I added refrigerant, thinking the constant run and low "low" pressure were signs of a slight undercharge. Makes sense, the car is 26 years old and it doesn't appear the AC system has ever been touched.   Adding some R134a didn't meaningfully change the low side pressure. And that's when a lightbulb flashed upstairs. While I consider the car "old", it's possibly "new" enough to have a variable displacement compressor. Did some reading and sure enough. Dangit. I don't work on these for this reason.   Adding refrigerant means the compressor will just compensate and won't really change pressures until it's severely overcharged or undercharged. But at least I wasn't getting ice/frost anymore, but instead high 30 degree temps out of the vents. That's more normal, but with variable displacement now I have no idea where my charge level is at. It's probably overcharged now. The high side even with the engine radiating serious heat was never really over about 225.   The static pressure at room temperature is dead on, before and after the charge. Both high/low equalize after some rest.   I'm thinking I'll need to take it to a shop. I want the proper charge level so I'm not working the compressor too hard. The only way to get an accurate charge is to evacuate and then re-charge with the exact amount specified for the system -- at least that's what I'm reading.   Anyone here with modern automotive AC knowledge?

      Mine is in the shop for the AC now. While it did get cold after a bit, it would take a while to even start to cool the air at all. Turns out the compressor was bad and cycling.

      I call B.S. when I first moved to Texas my first house would only cool to 80 with the Texas heat. The AC tech said it was normal at 100 degrees outside. I remodeled the house put in a new AC. I could hang meat. My cars may need recirculating to start. Once moving it switches to regular AC and I could hang meat. Living in Texas no one would put up with only 20 degrees difference.

      AC in home or auto only cool down 15-25 degrees from outside temp, but what will help is to put the ac in recirc mode this will recirc the Inside cabin air rather then trying to cool down the outside hot air, I always have mine in recirc mode.

      Found the fix for this.  Untightan the bolt just below top linkage on the steering column, turn assembly left to reduce space between the two linkage rods at the steering column, tighten bolt.  Made a big improvement.
