Fuel Gauge pegged at full

Just picked up a new at4 2500 GMC.  Put a little over 75 miles on it and noticed the fuel gauge is still at complete full.  The range mileage has come down, but the gauge has not moved. I noticed when I turn the vehicle off, the little vertical white bar stays at the full level, but that bar slides fully to the left on the other gauges such as engine temp, volts, etc. When I turn the vehicle on, those little white indicator bars slide from all the way left, to current readings, where the fuel gauge is already pegged to the far right.  This AM I stopped to put fuel in just to see where it was at and it took 7 gallons.  Seems odd that the miles to empty seems to be reading correctly, but gauge is pegged at full?

 

Also, the right turn signal doesn't automatically turn off about every fifth time I use it. I have to manually turn it off.  It also seems very hard to turn the blinker lights on compared to my previous ride, 2018 GMC HD Denali.

I'd give it some more time/miles and see if the fuel gauge moves at all. As for the blinkers, my turn signal lever on my 2024 has always been very hard to turn on and off. Turning off a right signal was especially difficult, so I had the dealer look at it and they agreed. They replaced the lever and now turning off a left signal is difficult... Not sure if it's the lever or something in the steering column.

thanks for the reply. I'll give it more time.  See what happens.  I also noticed the shifter lever for going into gear seems very stiff.  Have to pull pretty hard to get it into gear. Not a big deal, but so much different than previous GMC truck.  Love the truck so far. For a 3/4 ton, ride isn't too bad and I have a snow plow/camper prep package on it too.

I have a 2024 with 4500 miles on it. No issues that you speak of. In fact I've noticed the turn signal 'cancels' w/ a reduced turn. In the past turning into my village on a slight curve I'd always forget to turn off the turn signal and it would continue to flash. W/ this truck, when I correct the wheel, the turn signal turns off.

What does the MyGMCApp say what is has in percentage? It will have a number that is actually read from the sensor and displayed as a number.

So as far as the gas gauge goes, it finally did move off of Full. Seems to be working. I can’t get the GMC app to work to read percentage. Been on the phone with onstar 3 different times, plus the half hour initially spent at the dealer trying to unsuccessfully activate it when i picked the truck up. Last call with onstar they said i should make an appointment with the dealer as they now couldn’t even locate my truck via GPS. Suspect a hardware issue. Used the GMC app with my 2018 Denali and it worked flawlessly. Really enjoyed it.  
The right blinker problem continues. Made four consecutive right turns going around the neighborhood and it wouldn’t automatically click off for any of those turns. If I turn the wheel back and forth a couple times after the turn, it would then click off. Always works normally when using the left blinker. It doesn’t seem like it takes any extra force to turn right blinker on versus left blinker. I tried to just leave it blinking after the right hand turn to see if it would eventually turn off but went over a block and it still didn’t click off.  Im just going to keep an eye on it and hope it gets better. Can’t see taking it back for this minor issue, but will let them know about it next week. Loving everything else about the truck so far.

Finally got a chance to take it in for blinker. Tech said switch wasn’t installed correctly at the factory. Seems to be working now.

FYI=rtreptow7 is me too. 

Blinker problem is not resolved.  It started acting up just a day after it was fixed.  Same thing, right blinker wouldn't cancel. Took it back.  They said their is a TSB for this issue stating switch needs to be removed and reinstalled.  So they basically did the same thing and said that it may fail again and there may be a more robust switch mount available at a later date When\if GM issues a better fix.  Said something changed from 2024's to 2025's with the way it mounts.

Still an issue.  Failed within a day after the second attempt to fix.  Took it back a third time and they replaced the switch, Bracket, and steering wheel airbag coil.  On the way home from the shop, right blinker failed to cancel again. Not sure what else is left to fix/replace?  I can't be the only one having this issue. Not a hig issue, but sure is getting annoying.

Older version of the TSB but the same condition and fix is called for - 21-NA-166 1..2

 

No mention of an updated turn signal multifunction switch.  Current switch # came out April 2022 and has been in use since then.  

 

I have a 2022.5 1500 (same interior updates as the 2024+HDs), never had this happen yet.  Same bracket and turn signal switch too as yours.  

 

I'd say its another bad switch or there's something else in how its all assembled is off.  New switch might not be seated all the way, etc.

The first attempt at fixing was this service bulletin. Remove and reinstall switch.  Unfortunately didn't help. I think they did the same thing on second attempt at fixing it, but adjusted or shimmed the bracket, or something like that. Third time they replaced these three parts:  Part numbers on replacements they used on third attempt to fix it: 84924355 switch, 86507598 Coil, and 84483956 bracket. Right blinker still doesn't cancel, and now occasionally the left blinker doesn't cancel.  Left blinker was never a problem in the previous almost 3 months of owning this truck, always been just the right.

Still a problem.  In the past 2 weeks we had 3 days that were really warm for this time of year, 60's and a day in the 70's.  During the warm days, the blinker would not cancel in the cool morning, but on my drives back home, both left and right blinker worked flawlessly.  Next morning when it was cold again (30's) it wouldn't work.  Not sure why it would be temperature related.

Just to update, this problem did finally get resolved. Wasn't clear to me exactly what was done on this last attempt to fix it. No parts replaced, just uninstalled, reinstalled from my understanding.   But for the last 2 1/2 weeks it has worked correctly.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
