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)

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85

      Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.
