Anyone have the skinny on the new software update that Chevrolet is pushing out only thru the dealership?

 

Also, has anyone tried GDE's Air Temp Sensor mod to see if it does in fact increase mileage?  After 6500miles of towing my small fiver (7k lbs, 12ft tall), I'm thinking I should be getting better than 8.7mpg at 70-71mpg.

You sure you aren't in tow haul mode? At least on mine, the battery gauge goes away and it replaced with ATF temp while in tow mode.

Towing MPG seems fine if you are gas.  Diesel, hard to say, but a 5th wheel, 12ft tall at 70mph, I hope you aren't expecting great MPG.  Try 55-65mph to see a mileage bump.

It's a Duramax I expect better compared to 3 other HD diesels I've owned.  Towing in the west where posted speed limits are 75-80mph would make driving 55mph a road hazard.  

On other forums, it sounds like the update is for infotainment center issues.

I have towed a lots of miles with big travel trailers and fifth wheels and the sweet spot seems to be around 64 MPH no matter gas or diesel. A lot depends on driving style. I can gain at least a half MPG by driving without cruise and anticipating hills. My gasser gets a reliable 8 1/4-8 1/2 pulling my 12k fifth wheel. East of the MS river. Having a scan gage and monitoring as much data as possible is a big help. It keeps my mind occupied while driving.

I got the software recall notice Oct 3rd via email (6.6 gas). It's odd that there's no recall number/ID in the email. I'm going to call the dealer today or tomorrow.  I

I picked up my new 2024 in September & no email notice. My Silverado HD is a gasser w/ the LT trim. Does anyone know if the update is across the board or option/drivetrain specific?

Looks like everything with the big infotainment screen is targeted for the update.  I haven't received an email for my 2022 1500 yet.

Nothing noticeable to me, other than that the Android security patch level is now from 2024, which is an improvement, only noticed because I looked. The service manager said it fixed some battery drain issues.

I had a early build '24 Dmax, traded it in for another '24.  Got the email on the way home about the old truck, the new one had already had the recall done.  I can see nothing different between the two as far as that goes.  There are some other differences like the leather on the wheel, Kicker sound system in the tailgate, etc. but they are all pretty minor.  Not sure what the recall does.

Its technically not a recall, GM calls it a customer satisfaction program N242435631. My understanding is that its a new program designed to improve communication between modules and correct a possible situation where the battery may be discharging during a failed update. ( I believe is similar to what happened on some of the Colorados) There wasnt any information about the number or build dates of the effected trucks. I believe this was a mid year change once the new program was written so not all 24's will need it.

My truck has a build date of June 2023, so likely early production (I think the sequential number is 22016). I checked and I picked it up on the 20th. Is there a date when the update was released? It's possible that the dealership performed the update already.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.

      That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less?
