I now have a letter to go to the dealer for updates on my 10L1000.
I have been reading about people that have been having issues, yes that is why the recall is out. I hope everyone is ok after having the issues.
I have been reading that people are having the SW update that tells them something is going to happen within a certain time and should go back to the dealer when this happens. They are having issues after this SW is loaded, they are having the problem that this is suppose to warn you about this right after they leave the dealer and the trans starts shifting strangely and wheel lock-ups.
So I'm wondering how many of you have had yours done (SW updates) and did you have this happen? When you went in to have the update installed was your truck running fine? Was it fine after?
The camping season is a month away for me and we are wondering are we going to be in the same boat as many others are in??? My truck is fine at this point, do I take the chance and do the recall or not?
So my mind is going in many directions on this issue, when did all this start to happen with the wheels locking up? Why is the recall for just 2020-2022. I read/hear that all of the 10 speeds (2500hd/3500hd) are having the issue and all at different mileages. I also see many aren't having any issues at all. Then another issue comes up with me, why just diesels. I really don't want to put on the tin foil hat but is this a way to drive diesels out of the market?
I love my truck, but I don't want to be afraid to drive it with my camper on the back. I can't go back to a gas truck without selling the camper. My pin weight is over the limit for any gas truck. Strange but true, none of the gas dually trucks have a pin weight over 3000.

So tell me what you have done with the recall, good or bad.

Don't own one but we did the recall on one and it came back about 500mi after needing a valve body as the new software did its job and detected the pressure fault.  So its likely that on that truck the wheel lock up might have happened even before the reprogram.  

 

Otherwise besides the typical GM programming errors or some slowdown in performing the procedure when the tech forgets to let the TCM fall asleep before performing the service fast learn, we've only had the one truck with a near immediate valve body acting up.  

 

But I say this being at only one of almost 4000 GM dealerships.

 If your truck is destined to have the failure it's going to happen regardless of if you get the software patch or not. You're better off on getting the update so that if you do incur the failure, you can keep you and your family safe while pulling your camper. The software is only 20-22' trucks because 23' up already has it in place from the factory, which also tells you GM has known about this for some time now. I have seen guys with gassers have the issue as well so its not just dmax trucks with the failure and I have seen way more 23-up trucks with it then the 22-previous trucks as well for what thats worth.

      There's some truth to the above, but also, she's selling fullsize trucks and bread/butter CUV's like hotcakes, meanwhile, extracting GM's pickups from the deep discounting sales game.   GM's stock has held its own during her tenure, and the more recent buybacks are delivering cash back to investors and signal confidence in their direction forward. Even with the EV losses.   GM is an example of a modern publicly traded company. The #1 goal of any publicly traded company is to deliver the most value possible to shareholders. Despite being a car company, building the best car isn't GM's path to delivering maximum shareholder value.   McDonalds doesn't make the best burger, or the best coffee.   I've mentioned in another thread, I really don't / won't ever understand Cadillac or Buick in a modern context. Both brands are completely dead to me. I'll cede that the Escalade is a nice SUV, but the brand and nameplate mean nothing to me, and GM will never persuade me to pay north of $170k for a gussied-up Tahoe or Burb. Other people don't mind doing that and that's their purview.   The C8 shares absolutely nothing in common with any other current Chevrolet or Corvette on the market. Since its introduction 8 years ago, it's developed quite the following. It did what other Corvettes couldn't do: reduce the average age of its buyer. GM has something there, and I see them investing in the car. They'd better not mess that up.   We've successfully derailed Grumpy's thread again, but I think this one is meant to be more of a random thought thread so a little wandering is probably OK.

      Sliding doors ftw   Also, Sienna ftw as well.  The in-laws got a 2024-2025 recently when their 2019 sienna was totaled due to a deer back in June.  They've been getting 38-40mpg on the 65mph highway they live on.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      Forgot to mention that this started after changing the oil I use mobile 1 full syn with mobile one filter but I did add pro lube additive and was the first time doing so and is making me wonder just can't see why that would matter

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      I apologize for long post put going to try to explain everything. Parts replaced so far: Cam sensor Crank sensor Cam phaser valve Cam phaser solenoid Fuel pump Maf 1 injector Pcm Pdm   So about 2 weeks ago coming off the highway my 2007 yukon xl with the 6.2 stalled and would restart. Had unit towed back to house and I messed around with relays and unit started. Drove it the next day and same thing. Had it towed again. Scanned unit and had code p0300 with misfire data showing mainly cylinder 7 but I know that won't cause a no start. Measure fuel pressure and found only 42 psi replaced pump to have unit stall again and not restart. This time I stayed on back roads and just waited for it to restart about 30 to 60 min. During this time I found I have no injector pulse but have good power at injectors. Started unplugging 1 injector at a time and found when unplugging cylinder 7 pulse came back so i changed injecto and same issue. Turns out unit just happen to ready to start at that time. Scanned into unit and found no reason for the pcm to take away injector pulse so I replaced the pcm and same issue. I figured timing sesnor controlled the injector pulse so I replaced both sensors and while I had the water pump of i replaced the vvt components while i was in there. Read multiple people have luck chaging the maf for this issue so I changed it. Unit still stalls to this day and loses injector pulse on the ground side when it does. Have noticed watching the live data the pcm is request injectors to fire via injector pwm value. I have redone the ground wires at the left bottom of the block knowing this was the ground location for the pcm but still no luck. I am a mechanic by trade but this is having me pull my hair out. If anyone has something to have me check I will gladly im not much of a parts thrower but im about to load the cannon

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      Actually.  Wait.   I just re-read your original post.  Are you talking from INSIDE the truck you have to hit unlock?  Or from the key fob?  I had assumed from the key fob.   IF you are talking the inside unlock button, I assume you are shifting to park and its not unlocking the doors?  If so, that is changed via the settings page in the radio.  Go to SETTINGS, then VEHICLE and then it should be under LOCKS or DOOR LOCKS or something like that.
