Hi Guys I just bought 2024 Silverado rocky ridge 10 days ago. And today remote starter stopped working and then I got warning in app that I have issue with my Variable Valve timing. I recently switched from 2018 lifted tundra. And I had zero problem with that truck and I put 100k miles on it. And the only reason I bought this truck because I got very great deal on it. But now I am here with problem under 500 miles. I will check with dealer tomorrow but I just want to check here if anyone had this problem? And I am new to Silverado so idk if it was great move or not. This is my first Silverado.

Welcome to the forum. You made a great decision to buy a Silverado! Just got another Trail Boss with the 6.2 this time and its the best truck I have ever had. You are very fortunate that you didnt buy another Tundra. Take it into your dealer and they will get you fixed up.

After researching online it’s looks like it could be app glitch or bug. And I will run on demand diagnostics with onstar before visiting dealership. My truck dashboard doesn’t have any warning and it’s just app throwing warning

The app's are a glitch fest as with every other manufacturer, if your truck is giving you no codes and you are seeing no issues other than this app then it is more then likely the app. Most people do not use these apps because car makers suck at making software.

Yes I am 100% agree now. So I did On Demand diagnostics with Onstar and report comes good. And it was app glitch and they updated the app and everything is good now. I am new to all these technologies and stuff. And I understood one thing very quickly never trust these GM apps and always go by your car dashboard lights.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      It is a company truck. Not under warranty. Both companies I’m involved with usually buy trucks that are discounted when looking. Except what the owners drive. Being retired and minority owner. I don’t drive a company truck. If they have the new GM gas engine it would be in a service truck.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Update!   Had the dealer look at the issue. First tech says no problem?? I said there was no voltage on the brake terminal on the 7 pin connector! He said he did not know what pin I was talking about. So they bring out a seasoned tech and I explain to him. He attaches a VOM and has me push the brake, and sees no voltage!!    Tom, the seasoned guy says lets go back to my service bay and look closer. We discover thru his on line system that the controller is a "smart controller" as it needs to detect a trailer connected before the brake voltage is allowed to the 7 pin connector!!! He also showed me a GM bulletin stating some trailers with LED lights have such low resistance the controller wont recognize them!!! I was thinking WTF, but thanked him for bringing me back into the service bay and explaining this all to me. He also plugged in a trailer simulator and it showed the brake controller was indeed working.   After my dealership visit I hooked up to an older camper with standard 1157 lights and the truck did connect and the electric brakes worked great!    Not to sure what I have to do with the equipment trailer with LED lights, I cant tow it with no brakes.   Why did something so simple for many years have to get so complicated!

      Do find out as that would be interesting if they have been using any L8T engines or for that matter have been running any of the Ford gas 7.3 to see how they have been panning out.    I assume your nephews engine replacement was on his dime as the regular warranty would have long past unless he had some form of extended warranty that covered such events. That shows though and may depend on the year of the build that failures are occurring with the valve train well beyond the warranty distance and more than likely so will others have that sneak up on them.

      I realize this is an old post and its probably been talked about since then on this forum and I may have mentioned it myself but the Chev multi flex tailgate on the HD trucks are all aluminum so there is that one item that I am aware of on a current GM HD truck that is aluminum but if its the standard tailgate then its still a steel unit as far as I am aware to current 2026 model year.

      Gas Prices

      I am surprised it didn't pop back up some just in time for the end of school/summer holidays and July 4th time period. Here in Alberta it hit its low coming off the high back a week before the end of June or so and has been creeping back up some and would equate roughly to around 20 cents per gallon increase. Of course there are various factors and one is the games they typically play with wanting to capture that holiday vehicle movement but also our government directly causing our Canadian dollar to drop ( a polite way of explaining the real picture ) causing our prices to go up rather than continue down like it should have, and even though we are sitting on the crude.
