I've read threads of where people talk about getting there PCM reflashed for the lower values. I have a 2026 3500 dually and my aftermarket tires and wheels ride the best with 40PSI I ask the dealer they said that it would void my warranty, not sure if that's true. Thanks Mark

That is a good question, at the time of purchasing my truck I had talked to the service manager who used to be a mechanic, to see if they were willing to lower my factory placard set tpms pressures and he said while we are capable of physically doing it, no they were not allowed to as a GM dealer as they would get their hands slapped by corporate GM ( that was his way of putting it ) but did not happen to mention anything about warranty one way or the other so I have no idea about that part. He said my best bet would be to go to a tire shop or independent mechanics shop and have them do it. I ended up buying an Autel tpms tool and did it myself and not saying that is the ideal tool as its geared towards Autel sensors more than other sensor brands, it did the trick in lowering the pressures before the system triggers the dash to say I am under pressure. 

 

So I don't really have the answer to your question, GM seems pretty finicky up here in Canada with warranty because they know they can screw over the customer if they can see an out due to our lack of consumer laws like the USA has.

Go to any competent independent shop and they can do it for you. Any modern scan tool that has bi-directional controls/ special tests functions, has been able to adjust the "low tire pressure threshold" setting in GM vehicles. This is assuming that GM hasn't suddenly locked out that ability as they have done with other things in the past.

So I read that you can go on the information screen and put in off road app and i guess choose air down tires, first I have heard of this with all the threads I've read.  Mark

Right? I think it's just the fact that GM is freaking out about people going into the PCM to alter any values that they see fit? Mark

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
