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.

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
