My understanding is that there are issues with some of the "animated" headlamps. Its an ongoing problem with a supplier. 

(which doesnt make me feel warm and fuzzy)

the Chevy's are now coming with rear taillight animation deleted. they may be the problem

They are not related.  Early builds of Chevy animated headlights have a software bug that may cause headlamps to not function immediately.  The headlamps are not programmable at dealer so they need to be replaced.  

 

The rear taillamps are a chip shortage item.

The supplier has been struggling to keep up with production.  Dealing with of chip related items with headlights and tail lights.

Not HD but same deal being refreshed trucks.  We've had three different 1500s come in with the flashing fast due to a headlight not working properly.  Two of them had the right front DRL/Signal turn off, one the left side.  Two trucks were fixed with unplugging and plugging back in the headlight assembly (terminal tension) and the other got a new headlight assembly (RF).  In the case notes on the one that got the headlight, it sounds like they've got plenty of reports and multiple locations to check as far as wiring and connections, but also they've seen lamp replacement.

Noticed mine started doing this around the 2000 mile mark. Few fast flashes, then normal flashing.  Both directions. No errors.

They ordered both new headlight units for mine on 5/17.  Both of them are at the dealer as of last week and will be installed on 7/20. They are going to keep the truck as the whole front grill, etc has to be removed to install them

I'm not downing this GM Customer service reply.  I fell into it and all they will do is set you up for an appt. at your local dealership.  That's all.  So don't get excited like I did thinking yay, someone is going to pay extra special attention to my truck needs....that's a hard no.....

I feel that them reaching out to you to solve the issue is extra special attention!!!!

It isn't.  All they offer is to make you an appt.  You can do that on your own.  No extra special attention at all.

Contacts from them are recorded when they reach out. GM corporate ,Monitors these forums. Look to improve the the repair in your vehicle. This also provides a date of complaint or problem which helps if it gos out of warranty by mileage and the problem is still there. There are a few advantages to their responding to your post here. If you feel that way about, GM customer service reaching out , then I don’t know what to tell you as far as what you expect from a company. From my stand point I feel very good knowing someone from customer service is listening. I’m not interested in getting in a key board confrontation with you. If you feel that way then great. I feel the opposite. Have a great day and God bless brother!

still waiting for GM to come up with a fix. the turn signals have been working intermittently since the first 100 miles in April. my first appointment for this was in May and i have been checking in with the dealer every 2 weeks.  i spoke with my dealer again yesterday and they have other trucks doing the same thing with open TAC cases. according to the dealer TAC's next step is a lighting module but they are on back order with no ETA. he said TAC will not approve any further repairs until the lighting module is tried, i thought i have seen other fellas on various sites that have already had the lighting modules replaced with no success?

aren't non functioning turn signals a safety issue??? kinda concerns me at times.

My modules are scheduled to be replaced tomorrow, July 20.

 

They have been on order since mid May. There are several other electrical/sensor glitches with the truck that pop up. I have a logbook with date, time, and issue as well either video or phone in case there are no codes stored.

if possible could you let us know what the outcome is, i understand, if its good, you will not know for a while since the t/s problems are so intermittent . my power tailgate has a mind of its own also....

Ok, I appreciate your input here and I will definitely try them out next time and further my knowledge of what they are actually doing.  I do hope you are right and it will be documented and they will continue to help me if my problem wasn't solved.  I'm an open minded guy, I'll give them a shot next time I have a problem.  Thank you for your input here sir!

    • I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations. 
    • You don't want to become predictable now, do you? 😏
    • Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.
    • What are the conditions of this rich idle? Warm or cold engine? Run time? Does every idle look like this or only sometimes?
