JUST brought a 2024 Silverado 3500 dually,  I have a HD trailer GVW of 26K. Electric over Hydraulic brakes. The truck dose not recognize the trailer for brakes.  I have 3 other trucks that it works fine with.  15 Silverado 3500, 21 gmc Denali 2500 HD , then hooked up to a 22 DODGE RAM 3500.  ALL TRUCKS the trailer worked fine.  GM says there is no Problem.  go figure.  Well their fix is to install a Aftermarket adapter non GM approved on my trailer to get them to work.  As everyone knows trailer wiring will not last and needs attended to because of corrosion and loose connections because of the environment.  So Spend 80k for a lawn statue.

I don't know if there is a question involved with your thread, but I have heard from other members on another forum, for Colorado's, about them having intermittent issues with the factory brake controller. So, on the 2017 Colorado I owned and on my "new to me" 2020 Custom I installed the RedArc system. The unit can be hidden and out of the way, while the dial is super small and not obvious.

UPDATE 7/15/2023:

Brake issue seems to be resolved.  I still need to clear the turn signal errors at startup every time. 

 

Additional issues now:

1. I have driven the truck/trailer a fair distance the past few days. New issue has arisen. 30 minutes into my drive the camera that is activated when the turn signal is applied does NOT show the side view of the trailer. It DID show it earlier in the trip but, now shows the FRONT camera view. After I stopped I took a video of the issue. Put in park and then revers, that cleared the issue.

 

2. The cameras for the trailer show a blank screen. I have the older camera that worked fine on my 2022. Blank screen.  I have a brand new camera that I plug in and same blank screen. I will have the dealership see if there is an issue caused when they did the bumper/bed plug swap. 

 

Sooooo, there is a service bulletin for the EOH brake systems NOT talking to the trucks correctly. This has been a known issue since about 2021. However, we found that this applies to our NON-EOH brake system (typicallly the Hydrastar brake system) on my Platinum horse trailer. Constantly dropping connection without losing lights. Constantly tripping turn signal failure alarm. 

 

We completed the fix by installing the Hydrastar Controller Adapter Module 382-7073 to THE TRUCK, not to the trailer, as this remedies the issue for any trailer I will pull. The bulletin says to connect it to the trailer. However, GM tech had our service department attach it to our truck.  So far it works fine after 50 miles. No turn signal or brake connection warnings at all. 

 

Our service department is filing this under warranty because it started immediately upon purchase. Even though this is not a GM part they use, it should be covered. 

 

Now, onto the camer system issues in a different thread!

 Did they splice the module into the wiring or just use an adapter and plug it into to bumper plug?  The module didn’t work for me splicing it into the trailer as I was told to do by GM

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
