My worst car ever.... My first one (in Europe) was a Citroen 2CV (wobbly ugly duck). Even that clunker was better. Why ? While on vacation West, Utah/Colorado, the instrument gauge display went BLANK. No speed indicator, pulling a 28 ft travel trailer. I never had a car before with no speed indicator.....Dealer in Colorado Springs said would be a lengthy repair and said to make an appointment. We are travelling....contacted Onstar and GMC furious. They advised me to go to any repair shop to check. Across the dealership was a Midas. They plugged in their little PC: hundreds of alerts mostly parking sensors related,m memory overload. I told them to delete all alerts. A miracle, the display came back to live. The most likely root cause: we drove hundreds of miles on BLM off roads, gem hunting, lots of dirt. That is what one does with a 4x4 right ? To clear the undercarriage and sensors each evening we drove throughg a touchless car wash. all clean for a next day trip. GM claims: GMC® Sierra 1500 - Sophisticated Technology  Not sophisticated enough to see that sensors were cleaned every day.

By the way, the cost by Midas was $0.00  nada. I dont understand that an onboard computer can be programmed to just shut down the most important display, the instrument cluster with the speedometer.

Yikes, this was one of my concerns before I bought my 2024. I get pretty much all manufacturers are moving this way on anything but the base trims, but it would be nice to have the option for physical gauges. The setup with physical speedometer/tachometer and the supplemental digital display in the middle seemed perfect, in my opinion.

Damn.  Let us know if it happens again, fingers crossed for you it was just a glitch and thankfully Midas cleared all of the codes.  I hope you tipped them well...

1500's have had that display since mid 2022 model year. 

 

so far, it's the only time I've heard that issue.

 

Hopefully it's also the last. 

 

 

Loose connector somewhere preventing power to the display?

I’m glad you boxed the gauge cluster in with big bold fire engine red otherwise I wouldn’t know where to look. 
 

hope it was just a glitch and it’s gonna be good from here on out. 
 

next time just hunt for gems in the mall. They have Kay, zales, Jared etc. all in one place!

Don't think the 'physical gauges' would have helped even if they were there.  Physical needles are electrically driven and have been for some time.  That's why they do things like cycle on startup or can switch between mph and kph by just moving the needle to the appropriate number.

Pretty much my concern as well. I would strongly prefer to have physical gauges with the LCD in the center of them. One big screen is enough for me but I didnt really want to go with a super low trim to get this. I would think this would be a safety concern for any of the big 3 honestly.

 

@Robg87 glad it was a no cost fix this time. Maybe I got snookered but I got the extended warranty because these types of things are so hard to diagnose as a home mechanic and even if you can figure it out the screens are still super expensive.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.

      That makes sense, and I agree with most of that.   I think the product would need both: 1. a default powertrain template, so it is useful out of the box; 2. user-selected priority parameters, so the owner or shop can choose what they want to see first.   Different users are going to care about different things. One owner may care about oil pressure and voltage. Another may care about misfire trend, AFM/DFM behavior, or U-codes. A shop may want communication events and repeatability first. Your baseline point is probably the most important one. Raw data is not very useful unless the report can show what normal looked like for that vehicle under similar conditions.   The way I would think about it is: - start with a basic known-good baseline - learn normal behavior for that specific vehicle over time - allow the event to be overlaid against baseline - show whether the event was a one-time spike or a repeatable pattern - provide a simple severity level, but with clear limits on what that severity means   For example, early severity could be something like: - Info: event captured, no obvious abnormal pattern - Watch: value moved outside baseline, but not repeated - Warning: repeatable abnormal pattern under similar conditions - Critical: communication loss, voltage drop, bus-off, reset, or severe repeated event   I would not want the first version to say “replace this part.” That would be overclaiming unless there is repair-confirmed data behind it. It would be more honest to say “this pattern deserves inspection.”   On the OBD port question, I think OBD absolutely has a role. OBD is probably the right place for: - DTCs - freeze frame - VIN - calibration information - normal scan-tool parameters - Mode 6 / enhanced diagnostic data if available The reason I am still looking at an ECM-side recorder is that the failure may happen before anyone connects a scan tool. If the owner plugs in a scanner after the event, the pre-event evidence may already be gone unless the ECU happened to save it. So I do not see this as “OBD versus ECM-side.” I see it more like: - ECM-side recorder: always armed, rolling buffer, event evidence - OBD/DLC companion: DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration, normal scan data - phone/cloud: status, notes, upload, report generation, notifications   I agree that phone connection and push notifications would be useful. I just would not want the phone or cloud connection to be required for capture. The recorder should save the event locally even if the phone is not connected. The phone should help with event marking, download, notes, upload, alerts, and report viewing.   For a default GM V8 event report, would this list make sense? - RPM - calculated load / MAP - throttle position - vehicle speed - gear / torque converter state if available - coolant temperature - oil pressure - oil temperature if available - battery voltage - commanded AFM/DFM state if available - actual AFM/DFM state if available - misfire counters / roughness by cylinder if available - fuel trims - relevant U-codes / communication events - bus-off / lost periodic message / module reset / voltage drop events Which of those would you remove, and what would you add?

      I went to the county a few years back to dispute my property taxes. To do that I hired an appraiser and a lawyer. The County Assessor wished to argue that the homes in my neighborhood the appraiser used were all 'distressed properties" and not representative of the "Market Average".    My response was," Of the 50 homes in our subdivision 43 of them were "distressed properties" under bank foreclosure and as such "Distressed IS the market". Lawyer about choked on his coffee and handed the Assessor the 'receipts'.    I won that case on the evidence provided by the Lawyer and the Appraiser.    We have the same thing going on here. My statements were based on the GOVERNMENTS NATIONAL DATA and yours on local markets in areas of your interest. They are both correct....   Thing is, this divergence was based on NATIONAL and not on LOCAL. I think you even understand that. But like you said, we are both stubborn and hardheaded.    I do not see any advantage to disengagement.  But that said we can step back to compose ourselves.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Trust me I appreciate the comments and concerns. It's what I was looking for to help me evaluate the situation and what I want to do. I have decided to move forward with the BORA hubcentric slip on 3/8" (.375") with the extended lugs nuts. Fedex says they should be here Monday :). Meanwhile, the dealer got the remote start and Patriot spray in bed liner done over the last couple of days. Also, I installed an inline stop/start eliminator today. Starts back up in what whatever mode you shut it off in, so you don't have to hit the button every time you fire up.
