2024 GMC Sierra 1500SLT crew cab x31 package 5.3L

Where to began.

1. Took delivery of truck with 3 miles on it, salesman went through and help setup truck took out of demo mode. Setup onstar, wifi, and connected phones to the system and saved everything. Wife and I go eat on the way home. All settings cleared and went back to demo mode. Wife took truck back to deal next day the did a reset and programmed again. Its working yea.

2. Took a trip with truck less then 300 miles on it with the auto off turn off and truck dies while coming up to intersection. oh goodie to start the truck you must put in park and press brake for it to start, putting in neutral doesn't start. This has happened 4 times and no codes have been detected at dealer so they can't duplicate it.

3. Infotainment system is looking up on maps and no GPS this is a weekly issues dealer can't duplicate that ether. It's done it enough that we have sent the videos to dealer to show them.

4 OnStar issues, Drivers side microphone went bad less the 1k miles on truck.

5. Drivers information panel changes displays on its own when starting truck and its worse sense I just got the truck back out from dealer.

6. Phone charge cradle sucks. You have to stand on your head stick your tongue and put your arm out the window to pick up phone and that's without a case on phone. Once you get it to connect and you drive off it drops charging. They put their little test box on it and says they can't duplicate the problem. Well we all know there test equipment was designed to work on the auto even yours don't.

7. It has a relay clicking sound in the dash between the defrost vents and infotainment display. Dealer can't hear it ether and duplicate.

 

I told them drive for a few days. Have service manager take it home daily so they could see and hear the issues. They had it for a week and he drove it one day cause I tracked the truck daily with the GM app.

OnStar even put in service notes truck has issues.

On the phone charging issue there is a known issue with iPhones running IOS 17.1 and later not charging in GM vehicles. (17.1.1 and 17.1.2 did not solve the issue).  Hopefully there will be a fix in 17.2.

Wow that is a lot of headaches. I picked up my 23' in October just ticked over 2600 miles and haven't had any headaches. The only annoyance I find is that sometimes plugging in an iPhone to use Car-Play/Charge doesn't recognize it, so you have to unplug and replug and on rare occasions restart the car.

 

The wireless car play is a hit or a miss so I stick with hardwiring it, and have no problems doing so. 

 

What if you pull the battery terminals +/- and wait a few minutes and reseat them. I wonder if that would fix some of those weird headaches you're having for the infotainment.

The dealer has done all of that your speaking of ARedSierra. Today before she took it back to dealer for the 5th time with only her driving it sense last night the set memory placement moved on its own. Today the dealer has reset the system and pulled information  to send off to GM tech support for the second time.

Sounds like a nasty batch of gremlins.  You know you're not suppose to feed them after midnight, right?

Well 2 new ones have come up now.

1. When remote started the temp controls have stopped working and yes the controls always are left in auto.

2. Today wife starts truck and both drives display and infotainment screen go black while driving off, shorting after hitting a bump in parking lot both displays come on but no sound from the radio. Change the channel sound comes on.

I think we are at a point were too much runs through the infotainment systems and like any home pc, you get what your pay for! And my bet is gm uses the cheapest of cheap hardware components to run these setups and with in house crap made software to match with crap cheaply made hardware it is not shocking to see all these issues!

 

It's not just fullsizes, i have seen these same common complaints with the Colorado and Canyon lines.

The truck controls the temp by the outside temp probe located under the passenger outside mirror. It doesn't matter what state the controls are in when the truck is turned off. I turn mine off every time I leave the truck but, when I get in from remote start the defrost is running on low (now that it's cold) before I push the start button. There should be no lights lit on the dash when running during remote started either.

Technology has advanced well beyond the point where industry can/will keep up. All the way from design to implementation to repair. Unfortunately its not going to change because the 2027 HD's are rumored to have a new architecture (the one that wont have Android auto or Apple carplay but will have subscription only services)

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
