Friday, I went to move my truck out of the garage and after I started it, I could not move the shifter lever. I tried adjusting the steering column and wiggling it around and no go. I then shut the engine off and got a message shift to park. I still could not move the shifter and when I opened the door, the system would not shut down. I had to unhook the battery. I let it sit with the battery unhooked for an hour and tried again, still no go. Right now, it is at the dealer, and he cannot look at it for a few days. Anyone else had this happen? I did a google search and it seems like this has been a GM problem for quite some time with various causes. Truck is a 2019 Sierra 1500 with only 19,000 miles.

Just a quick update to my shift to park message. I contacted the dealer and they had to have it towed. They finally got it in the shop and determined that the BCM was defective and ordered a new one. The truck was supposed to be finished today but for some reason they cannot get the BCM to accept the programming for the mileage from the old module. Hopefully, I will get it back on Monday. They opened a trouble ticket with GM tech. They said the truck starts, runs, shifts and drives but they must get the mileage programmed before they can release it.  Also, since I mentioned that I was experiencing the transmission shudder that they will flush and service the transmission under warranty. Got my fingers crossed.

An update. I had previously installed a Denali dash cluster, and it was not allowing the BCM to accept the mileage.   I had the dealer switch my instrument cluster back to my stock one and then he was able to program the mileage into the BCM. He then reinstalled the Denali cluster and it also accepted the programming so all is well. I am really glad I bought the extended warranty on this truck. All I had to pay was the deductible.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
