Annoying issues that my dealer is stumped with currently. First, both my radio and dash seem to randomly go to different screens when I first get in and start the vehicle. I always leave the dash on the setting to see my fuel economy and the radio on one of the streaming services such as Spotify. Randomly, I get in and the dash will be on a different screen and the radio on USB drive music. Second issue...The streaming media such as Amazon or Spotify will just stop streaming as if there is no service. This happens in areas that it normally works and is always in areas with cell service such as the middle of town. The screen will go to the play symbol but no reaction when selected. If I select a different song or musician the song will play for typically 50 seconds and stop then I pick another song and the same occurrence. At times, the only way to get the music to work is to uninstall and reinstall the app. Any ideas?

This is really bad, especially after just reading your other posts and all the problems your truck has had.  Did this radio / dash stuff just pop up at the 15k mark, or have you had it the whole time?

 

I would love to know if anyone with a 2024 HD has had 0 problems with electrical systems / infotainment / power running boards.

 

My AT4X order just went in and I can't believe that I am seriously considering a Tremor instead.  Yes, I know Ford has plenty of issues too, but there seem to be many trucks that are problem free.  These new Sierras seem like everyone has a problem.  Pathetic.  C'mon GM!  We are crazy enough to give you near 100k for your trucks, please give us a quality, dependable machine in exchange!

First, check the compatibility of the drive and the file format of the music. Make sure the USB drive is formatted right and, maybe try another one to see if it's a hardware thing. Also, double-check the app permissions for Spotify, Amazon, or any streaming service you're using. Sometimes, restrictive permissions can lead to unexpected behavior.
And if nothing's working, try a factory reset of your infotainment system. Though – this could reset some of your personal preferences, it could sort out any software glitches causing the problem.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
