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.

      New car smell air freshener

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      Gas Prices

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      By Newduramaxh*ar · Posted

      Hello, Im in a bit of a bind maybe someone could help me out.  We towed our trailer, up a pretty steep incline (395 north of Bishop) done it before no issues. I got to our campground turn truck off, i restarted the truck about an hour later  and check engine light turns on. Found DTC P2C48,  unable to reset.  This morning i removed the plug, there's 12.12v at the plug. Reservoir near firewall is full of coolant, checked for leaks nothing. I dont hear or feel the pump turning on. My dilemma, is nearest dealer  is 4hrs away that has the pump instock. Is it safe to drive? By me checking the available voltage at the connector and not hearing/feeling pump turn on, is it a bad pump? Please help...
