System is Bose. Initially I shorted one of the speaker wires which threw an amplifier code. I was able to erase those and the speakers worked.

Something didn't sound right however and I noticed the the driver side polarity was reversed, solving that mystery.

 

I fixed the polarity only this time I did not accidentally short anything and the amplifier still showed 2 codes. I cleared them, only now I still have no sound out of the corner dash speakers.

I also have these 2 codes I cannot clear.

Any ideas?

U0146 - Lost Communication with Serial Data Gateway Module

 

U0184 - Lost Communication with Radio

 

 

What aftermarket components have you installed to the truck seeing you are messing with speakers and what not?  If nothing aftermarket has been installed, your shorting pissed off either the radio or the amplifier and are no good anymore.

Just the speakers.

 

Amplifier shows no codes so I assume it must be the radio.

 

However, the dash speakers wire directly to the amplifier. There is nothing in between. I don't see how it could've jumped the amplifier (which is code-free) to the radio.

 

Must be something else.

Are there any other codes in any other modules?

Yeah there's U0447-00 something about video processing.

 

this one I can clear, but it always shows up again

Hmm.  U0447 - Invalid Data Received from Serial Data Gateway Module.  

 

Have you installed the factory speakers and still no sound?  Do you have sound out of the rears, doors and sub?

 

To me, I'm still thinking something during that short took something down.  B+ to the front speakers out of the amp, and perhaps that spiked back onto a data circuit to the radio.  Circuits 4758, 4757, 7215, 7214, 7211 and 7210 go to the amp, radio and gateway. 

 

In the end, sounds like you might need to put the stock speakers in and drop it at the dealer and see what they come up with.

Yeah I think I am taking it to dealer today.

Problem is, I can no longer connect the factory speakers. They only have that connector and no wire leads and I didn't leave enough wire left on them to splice them back into the circuit.

I'm just going to tell them the stereo didn't sound right so I changed the speakers. Radio must've just been bad the whole time.. I swear

Would a radio unit out of high country work? Found one online from a wreck.

It's the same 7spkr system and appears to have all of the same switches/equipment as my RST. Should be plug and play?

Why not just tell them the truth?

Might but will require programming.  Can't recall if you can flash a used radio on these new ones.  I think you can?

23RST, how did you clear the amplifier codes?  I run a Bank iDash and it did not find any codes, but it may also not access all parts of the vehicle I assume.

You need something that can access all vehicle modules.  Blue Driver or OBDLinkMX are two cheap options however these new trucks on GM Global B don't always let you get to everything, even with a SnapOn high end scan tool.  So might have to go to the dealer.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
