If you look on your On star page for your truck it will show if its open even if you dont pay for a plan (I dont) 

Follow the link if you get monthly e-mail reminders. 

I thought of that after reading your previous message:

The completion date was the day before I picked it up. The other 'programs' (aux' battery wont charge for example) & recalls (tailgate may open) were completed by the dealer who initially had the truck.

 

EDIT: I had looked @ the 'Incomplete' tab, but hadn't thought to check 'Completed'.

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.

What "software update"?  The Serial Data Gateway recall?     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 grea

Got my 2024 LTZ L5P flashed while getting an oil change today (25k miles in 14 months, servicing every 5k). Took an hour+ over normal service visits. Nothing noticeable to me, other than that the Andr

My main battery was replaced some time ago and the aux battery update was also done this summer but I still have a main battery that will drop below 12.0V charge in 4 or 5 days of no use. The aux battery stays around 12.6

I am hoping this update corrects some of that. Not sure if it is relevant but the trucks is garaged in my all metal pole barn/faraday cage so it may be trying to connect with Marys mothership and it cant get through (read that with the highest level of sarcasm possible)

Don't worry, I have nothing good to say about her. And people thought Roger Smith was disliked...

Does GM even build any cars? No mention of EVs 🤔

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. 

Thanks 64BAwagon !

Today I got the email about the software update. I was planning on stopping @ the dealer on an unrelated matter, so will ask about this in relation to the 'completed' issue on the OnStar report.

Yes, the update had been completed before the sale. Service writer said that they had seen that in the past. Customer gets an email notification after the recall or campaign work had been done.

I took my 2022 Sierra in for unrelated service. They updated my software due to the recall. Radio started cutting off for 15 to 20 seconds and rebooting.  Control panel was slow in responding. Bluetooth calls dropped.  Things were out of sync.

 

So I took it back last week to have it repaired. Some improvements but more of the same. I took it back yesterday, they want to replace the radio at $1300.00. Hell no! My radio worked perfect. GM owes me a radio. If your system is running fine, don't do this update....

I just had my recall performed yesterday and they have since removed the radio reprogramming as of 10/25/2024 as a 5th revision to the recall. So far everything is going great. I noticed the speed of my Apple CarPlay connection greatly increase. I posted as a new topic as well in hopes to inform others when they still have android version 10 after their service.

I think it's unnecessarily expensive and don't see the point in overpaying for such an upgrade.

The upgrade is no charge.

I received my 2024 2500HD 6.6 gas in July of 2023 and I received the software update letter recently.  I took the truck into the dealer last week.  They also completed the replacement of the trailer brake controller, which was another letter I received.  I didn't notice anything different on my 25-mile drive home.  I specifically saw the volt gauge because I recently added a DC to DC charger to charge an auxiliary Lithium battery and I was keeping my eye on the volt meter. 

 

Over the weekend I drove the truck again and noticed that the volt gauge had been replaced with a transmission temp gauge at the bottom right of the dash.  It is the second gauge over from the right, with the 4 gauges across the bottom.  I went through all the dash display options several times trying to find a volt gauge and found nothing.  I am using the classic layout with the "maximum" lower gauges option.  My assumption is that the software update wanted a more permanent transmission temp gauge and for some reason doesn't think the volt gauge is important anymore.  I would prefer to have one again.  Has anyone encountered this?

I just checked my truck & that is the same situation in tow/haul mode.

I have an add on USB/Cig lighter plug that displays volts plus I have it on every page of my Scangage3.  Anything the dash offered was pretty much a bar graph with no numerical value which is useless IMHO

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
