Hello, 

I purchased a 2023 Sierra that doesn’t have remote start. I’d like to have this feature added so that I can use the GM app to start via my phone. 
Does anyone know if this is something the dealer can install? 
 

Thanks..

Don't know if there is a way for you to do it, but the order guide says the (BTV) remote start is included and only available with WPB Graphite Edition on 2023 1500 Pro.

 

All other trims it shows as standard.

Thanks! I do have the Sierra Pro. Not a graphite edition. Hopefully the dealer can help but research seems to indicate it might not be possible. It sure would be nice to have the capability to start my truck from a remote location!

I added it to a 2013 a few years ago the actual GM one, I had to get the Programming done at the dealer but other than that it was just 2 new fobs,

The dealer may know less than anyone, mine initially said it was not possible but it was I just had to research it and figure it out.

I bet a BCM tweak and a fob and you would  be there.

Well, I do have a powered tailgate lock (something I prefer not to have) so I guess that one probably won’t work.  Also, it doesn’t say if it has the capability to remote start from my phone, which is the option I really need. 
Unfortunate it has to be so difficult to figure out what the dealership can install. I tried calling. No help. The service department had no idea! They finally passed me to the parts department who kept me on hold for 30 min. Never got to talk with anyone. I’ll have to keep trying dealerships until I find one that knows what they are supposed to know:)

You are going to have to wait for a GMC kit to come out.  Right now there's only one listed for the Chevrolet trucks.  I checked the engineering notes too hoping to find a # to use on GMC but there is nothing yet.  

 

App remote start won't work without installing the accessory remote start kit.  Truck needs the programming, then it takes about 2 weeks for the onstar data to refresh and then the app will allow remote starting.

I had factory remote start installed on one of our vehicles we had years ago and I called onstar to have it added and they did it right then, it took about 2hrs to see it on the app.

Thank you! Excellent information. I contacted a GMC dealer today who was helpful. Of course he wanted to know where I bought the truck. Then he blamed it on my salesman for not programming the GM app for me. I don’t think I even have have anything to program to the app with this truck. It doesn’t have onstar or anything on the window sticker resembling an app feature. 
Ultimately, the dealership informed me that’s there’s nothing available at this time. Exactly as you’re describing.
I suppose there’s an aftermarket possibility but it’s probably best to wait for GM. This isn’t a new model design so I don’t know what takes so long, or if they will even make one for that matter.

Oh good!!! If you stumble across a part number please let me know. The last conversation with my dealer it was not available. That was a couple months ago.

If you don't have OnStar, you'll never be able to use the GM app to do remote start. It is required for that part to work. There are aftermarket remote starts that use apps for starting, but a dealer will most likely deny any warranty on anything wiring related if an aftermarket remote start is installed. GM is SUPER picky about that stuff anymore.

It can be ordered for factory install.

Somebody spec'd that truck to get low price.

Not available according to my dealer, but that was 2 months ago. It was definitely ordered that way to keep the price down! I appreciate that, but would at least like the option to add the accessories that I want.

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
