Well today when I got all my Christmas shopping done I jumped in my truck to go home, turned the key and nothing!! Looked under the hood and noticed that my battery terminal was almost rotten off. Called for a tow to take it to the dealership just down the road. Since I didn't have it scheduled in I waited for about 3 hours untill a "technician" could look at it. Got the battery changed out but now the radio doesn't work.........WTF??? There is no display where the clock is and I hear a ticking sound coming from the speakers?? I must have a short somewhere plus my aftermarket security system is all fu@#ed up! Maybe that could have something to do with it?? Not sure?

 

Any thought would be appreciated! Taking the truck to the dealership here in town tomorrow.

Well I dunno about the security system, but the first thing I'd check would be the radio fuse in the fuse panel. ???

I don't suppose the display reads "LOC" does it? This is probably the Theftlock system cutting out the stereo. If you don't have the code you may need to consult the dealer about how to unlock it. But check the fuse too, could be something simple!

Yup...we have a 2001 Z28 and that is exactly what happens. When you disconnect the battery the TheftLoc engages. You need to get a 4 digit code from your dealer (ours was written in the back of the manual) and will reengages the stereo. Good luck.

The radio isn't locked, there is no power at all to the radio.....not a d**n thing. I pulled the fuse out everything is the same. There is a "ticking" sound coming from the speakers and when I accelerate you can hear it through the speakers. Not a clue to what's going on! Keep the ideas flowing guys!

 

 

Thanks :jester:

Your right BBSilverado. I pulled the fuse for the radio from the fuse panel that's inside the truck........nothing happened still no power to the radio and still a ticking sound from the speakers. Looked in the fuse panel under the hood and pulled that fuse out for the radio.........ticking stopped but when I pulled the fuse out my tachometer, speedometer, odometer and fuel guage didn't work!! Now after I diagnosed everything that I can I think my radio is pooched. It must have got fried when the power supply was interupted. Good thing is that my truck is still under warranty. Still a pain in the ass though!

I hate to say it but this sounds suspiciously like someone did a reverse polarity hook up of a jumper battery. Usually more gets toasted than the radio, but not always.

Yea,especially when no one ever turns off anything inside when fooling around

with the battery. Everything is always on ready to get spiked. Even the ASE guys

do it.

      I thought I was building a HD 3500 srw, maybe I was lost.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.

      It’s never dry here but it gets hot. My 4 vehicles I keep at home drive an 18 mile loop. One 6 days a week. Two about 3 days each and one once a month. Only one goes on trips about 4 times a year 1000 to 2000 miles each time. One 26 years old gets driven once a month for 22 years. One 14 years old goes 6 days a week. The other two are recent at 2 and 4 years. All are performing normal no extra service other than that would be half of recommended or severe service in the maintenance manual. No extra water or steam out the exhaust or premature plug wear. I would consider an 18 mile loop would be enough. So apparently once a month at 18 miles for 22 years has kept the collector car running well. About 45 minutes a month.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By newdude · Posted

      It is working as designed.  NHT and non NHT trucks have the same exact transmission cooling setup.  NHT just gets a larger radiator.     The transmission cooler loop on these is as follows.     -Transmission out goes into an oil to water heat exchanger (item #1 in the first illustration below).  This exchanger has engine coolant opposite the transmission fluid and uses engine coolant to warm and then regulate the transmission fluid temperature when its in the operating window.   - From the cooler it goes to a thermal bypass valve (item #11 in the 2nd illustration below).  If the ATF has not reached the temp to open the bypass (194F), it loops back.   - When it reaches 194F, the thermostat opens and ATF then flows out to the oil to air auxiliary cooler (item #17 in the 2nd illustration) at the front of the truck.  From there it goes back to the transmission.     Your only fix would be to swap for the PPE thermal bypass delete block which will open the loop to the aux cooler all the time.  It will STILL run warm, probably 170-200F, but that's as low as you'll get it as its still flowing through the oil to water exchanger.

      Most say the oil temperature needs to above the boiling point of water to rid it of moisture and long enough to dry it. Many think that is about a hour at 212 F or more. Those people have never line dried cloths in a Midwest winter. Leave a pan of water sitting on the counter and eventually it all evaporates. So heat drives the time it takes. Water in oil under 175 F, the Nitration initiation temperature, is a minimum then for temperature and samples I've done that use Karl Fisher method say about a hour (in a healthy well tuned motor) over 175 F will dry it to under 800 ppm. Low enough to not be much of a factor. Motors with weak rings will take longer and the colder the air temperature the longer it takes.   On a cold motor there is also the condensation temperature. Blowby gases that contain moisture are subject to that cold cylinder wall, like sweat on a glass of ice tea. But also subject to the Law of Partial Pressures. Wear studies by GM and the DOD  indicate wear is a real issue below 85 F and a concern to 140 F but doesn't become a minimal factor until about 160 F. You know this intuitively when you see water vapor exit the exhaust pipe until the system gets above the dew point. It isn't magic, it's physics and it fascinates me. I know you didn't ask but....I over share sometimes. 😉    You keep the Camaro's high and tight.
