New to me 2015 GMC 3500 dually LML. Very intermittently, Key on running or not, turn lights on or they come on automatically, I get multiple service warnings. Service Anti Theft, Service ABS, Service Stabilitrack, Gauges read zero, radio goes black. Turn lights off and problem goes away. Sometimes problem goes away on its own after a few seconds, sometimes it appears to cycle a few times. But always stops when lights get shut off and never happens when lights are off. A couple times i have been able to pull codes P262B and U0140.

I recently purchased the truck, drove 200 miles home without any issues. Then I pulled it into my shop to do brakes and knock rust off the frame and various other odds and ends to get ready to put into service. After 2 weeks, I started it up (which it starts and runs fine) and was shortly after this problem popped up.

Heres what Ive done to troubleshoot: Checked Batteries while disconnected, 12.6V and 12.5V. Cleaned terminals. Cleaned 5 frame rail grounds, checked and tightened 2 grounds at base of A pillars. Pulled fuse box looking for corrosion, found none. Checked all BCM fuses in all 3 fuse boxes for corrosion or blown, all good. Cleaned the distribution block fusible link plate on top of P side battery. One of the large spade connectors had corrosion, cleaned to bright metal. Pulled BCM to check wires and connectors, all looked good. Pulled the distribution block at rear to rear taillights and connectors all looked good.. Pulled Trailer brake module connector found corroded pin so i left it unplugged. (Had a Service trailer brake warning since i got it)

I had it so it was very infrequently doing this. I then disconnected both batteries and charged them for a couple hours. I reinstalled the cables and now its doing the same problem above only more constantly and without even turning the lights on. So i guess i made it worse.

 

Any suggestions?

    • 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)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • 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.
