I've had this 2023 Silverado LTZ 3.0 for a little over a month now and I really like it. After a couple of weeks, I started noticing some strange issues when I try to start it. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 seconds for the starter to engage and sounds like the starter bumps and stops and at the same time I feel a push back on the brake pedal. I've had this happen then right after it starts normal. It has done this after it did the autostop at a stoplight. I try to remember to turn that off as soon as I start the truck. 

 

Within the last week I've been seeing other issues this one has happened 3 times. The truck starts normal then the info screen between the speedo and tach says roll down drivers window then roll down passenger window then after it goes to whatever screen I had it on. 

 

Today after a bump pedal push start the info screen says Service power steering drive carefully then goes away to normal screen. Truck steers fine. 

No check engine light and the gauges look normal. 

 

Anyone ever have or know anything about this?  I do not have any good dealerships her to take it to and it is so intermittent I doubt they would try too hard to find the issue.

One of the issues that irritates me the most about new GM vehicles are the electrical gremlins shortly after purchase.  Taking it to the dealer usually results in a "cannot replicate problem" result and no service being performed.  Ironically, these problems usually sort themselves out.  So wouldn't hurt to have the dealer take a look though

I agree with the cannot duplicate. I dealt with that a lot with my '11 LML and regen.  The dealer I bought it from is over an hour drive but I guess they should get first shot at cannot duplicate.

It's still doing this and this morning I went out to start it to turn it around in the driveway and I pushed the start button and a couple of warning lights flashed and nothing. Black display nothing when I pushed the started button. Tried opening and closing the door, tried to get out and lock it but it wouldn't lock opened it back up tried again nothing. Went and got my battery tester and hooked it up it took a long time to run the test, had me turn on the lights then off, it said battery was good. Got in and tried to start and it started right up. 

This is frustrating and seems to be getting worse. After we did the chore around the house I started it up to move it back to its spot and as soon as it started it said Application not available raise and lower the windows. I'm retired so I don't drive it everyday. I drove it the day before and let it run for 15 mins while it did an app update. Is there a battery drain or possibly just a bad brand new battery? Does it need to be driven everyday? The dealer I bought from is 80 miles away so just dropping it by isn't a thing.  Anyone else ever have this or is this a new issue?

There is no reason why the selling dealer has to be the one you use for service. 

The 'included' warranty oil changes can be done at any of them. 

(some dealers include extra oil changes above the GM ones, that likely aren't transferable)

 

At most dealers (especially large ones) sales and service they are separate profit centers -- so the service folks would be happy for your business even if purchased somewhere else. 

 

Long story (which I'll skip), but for several years and several vehicle purchases in a row, I've been unable to close a purchase with the dealer that I've been using for most service work.

No, you shouldn't have to drive it every day.

Yes, sometimes new batteries are faulty or fail early.

 

Yes, there could be a fault causing a parasitic drain above the 'normal' level.

 

Is you battery tester a 'load tester' like what would be used at a battery shop or vehicle service place.

It is a multi use meter, it reads trouble codes and has a battery tester. 

I'm not al all happy with the local dealerships that's why I bought in another city. The locals wouldn't or couldn't fix my '11 LML.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
