Bought my Truck specifically to pull a Toy Hauler and once hitched and wired up, i get several messages. Last year GMC replaced the brake modual, but it's doing it again; as I'm driving sometimes it's every 2 minutes, or 20 minutes but its driving me nuts. Plus, I'm going to Idaho next Monday and I'm oncerned...

 

My Toy Hauler has solar (Electric Brakes). I've heard the solar may be part of the issue?

 

Error Messages

1. Brake Gain Not Recalled, your trailers brake gain was not recalleddue to an error, adjust the brake gain

2. Check Trailer wiring

3. Trailer Brakes Connected

 

GMC is now telling me the issue is with the Trailer, not the truck, because the Hydrastar electronic brake system may not be compatible and that I can get an adapter at an RV store? Not what I want to hear after shelling out BIG BUCKS for the truck of my dreams.

 

Is anyone else having this problem, what is GMC telling you?

 

Help!

Have you tried another trailer with e-brakes?  This will tell you if it's the truck or the trailer.

No need to try another trailer. 

This is a know fault with the Hydrastar system.

 

Hydrastar knows they are not compatible with the 2024 and 2025 GM system.

Hydrastar sells a solution. 

 

It installs on the trailer so it does not affect only other trailers the truck might be used for.

 

This issue has been in several truck forums over the last couple years, so I'm surprised the RV community hasn't picked up on it.

I'm also surprised Hydrastar doesn't make sure its customers know about it.  

 

Hydrastar says it can result in disabled trailer braking!

Get it fixed before taking that trailer anywhere!  

 

Anyway, from Hydrastars website

Redwinger and anyone else... I replaced the Trailer side wire harness as GM says some RV manufacturers install non OEM harnesses so I replaced it and installed the the GM 2024-2025 Adapter Module. It worked for about 4 hours and now I'm right back to the same problem.

 

Any advice would be appreciated; I have contacted my Dealer and they are trying to get help from GM.

 

Thanks -

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
