Any one know the fix to correct touch screen changing stations on its own, bluetooth phone getting put on hold? Dealership told me the flat screen needs replacing for about 1,000.00. Some of my touch screen buttons work some dont. I can control changing stations from the steering controls. Cant change any of my setting like clock or date from the touch screen.  The thing that doesn't seem to me to be the flat screen is the info center on my dash changes randomly. I always have the digital speed displayed but it will change to the current radio station.  I don't think there are any controls on the flat screen that can change my info center on my dash. I have read of people getting the flat screen replaced but twenty miles later its doing the same thing. Dont feel like spending  a grand only to have it not fix the problem. I can hear it beeping like something is changing the stations. Is there a known issue in the steering column that could fix this?

Just from what I've seen on this forum & youtube videos, this is a common issue. They show replacing some of the parts to try to repair but I'm not sure how good that works. If & when mine goes out on my '17 Silverado, I'll probably get an aftermarket unit that is larger & a little more robust.

I had the same issue and found several threads on this site about it.

Many, including myself have changed out the digitizer. The digitizer is offered on eBay and YouTube has several videos on "how to" replace. (be careful with the ribbon connectors.)

It took me about 45 minutes and the cost range from $50-$300 depending on where you buy the digitizer.

That is typically the fix for random crazy screen.

 

Let me know if you need help finding the links and I will dig them up.

It is indeed the digitizer. I just unplugged mine. While it eliminates the problem, you no longer can use the touch screen. You can still perform many of the functions via the controls. Just a page back or so you'll find a long thread on this topic.

 

Here's the latest thread: https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/252750-touch-screen-has-a-mind-of-its-own/page/4/#comments

      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.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
