I searched around the forum but didn't find any info if it's already being discussed. Apparently, there is a problem with the valve bodies and no one has a clue when it will be resolved. My '24 2500 with 26k miles has been in the shop for 3 months now. The problem occured very shortly after the trucks crash detection braking system activated but it seems it's a well known issue.

First well known i have heard of. I have over 15,000 miles on my 2024 3500 gasser and not a bit of a problem on anything. 

 

But then again, first thing i did when i got in it and headed home, was to shut all the safety stuff off, and its never been turned back on.

All/everything i could/anything i could. 

 

Added things i cant shut off but would, would be the auto locking door locks, auto headlights coming on each start, i just shut them off each start. I cant shut off the backup camera or i would. The seatbelt chime i would shut off if i could, but cant.

You didn't answer the question.  What are all the safety things you turned off and never back on?

I am not going to or need to list what ( everything ) is. 

 

A simple search with the information under my user information and you can get the answer to your question.

He wants to list out everything he can't turn off, but won't list things he did turn off. My guess is he doesn't want to answer because he has a work truck and there isn't anything to turn off.

In the blurry pic is a little orange light by the speedo diel. Its either for the side warning something is there off, and or the front collision off. Both are off.

 

Dont take it personal as i dont want to scroll through the screens to list what i do have or dont have and have shut off, some can/were wile driving some needed to be parked, odds are not running. 

 

I love and wanted the regular cab WT with just what i needed. I didnt want a diesel again, and i read up on the new cheby 24's with the 6.6 gasser and 10 speed trans and went that route, and am very happy and totally trouble free so far at over 16,000 miles.

Update 7 months later. Valve was supposedly shipped in October, but before it even got to dealership they decided it was now the transmission. Called GM complain number and they mention possible buy back. That got denied afterb3 weeks then finally 2 weeks later a transmission arrived at dealership. They say I'll have it in a few days. We'll see. So trucks been sitting 7 months while the ethanol is breaking down and tires probably have flat spots. Apparently there's some sort of compensation in the works. We'll see what that's all about.

    • Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose  
    • I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose  
    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
