I know the title sounds kind of boring, but Im tryiong to get my associates degree in business and for a marketing class I had to pick a product and write a paper and do an oral report on the marketing practices of that company in detail. My professor told me that a project on GM would take too much time and be too complicated so he told me to stick with one product from GM. I decided to do either chevy or GMC HD trucks but I havent found too much info on marketing. Anyone know of any good resources of info on this? Thanks for your help!!

do the marketing on the new silverado, you see dozens of their commericals and chevy sponsors SO MANY events like football games and stuff and feature the silverado. and all their commericals with john melancamp songs and whatever - i saw one yesterday that i liked a lot (the one where it shows chevy pickups from around 1930 all the way to now). ive never actually seen an ad for the HD trucks though

 

so my recommendation, do the 2008 silverado

The commercial for the 100K drivetrain warranty on all GM's is interesting as well.

 

A bit of symbology as with all the GM cars rising above the mundane traffic kinda showing that GM's are of higher standards......

 

Or the Aveo ones have been fairly good....the Japanese guy driving looking in the rear view mirror at his baby in the child seat...stopping...opening the rear door to get his baby...summo wrestler (content)...holding onto "dad"....showing how big the Aveo is on the inside.

I like the idea of the commercials but I believe the music sucks (just my opinion)...they already have the *cowboys* and need to focus more on *yankees*

well considering most of their market is in the south I dont blame them for showing the "cowboys". Hell Texas is where they sell the most trucks. They even have a seperate commercial for Texas!!!

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.

      I forgot to answer the question as per what market mine is set to and yes I finally found that area on mine and yes its also set to America.   So here's something I realized as I wasn't looking at that part in the Sierra section until now, your right that what I see here as choice 3 under Sierra which says 07/2023-06/2026 ( 433 MHz 13542523 ) it has no choice 5 for tire pressure selection. Where as it does under the Chev choice. However I kept going down the list within the Sierra and I am really wondering if choice 9 will work for your truck as it has the same model number and hertz sensor as my truck. I would say try that choice first, if that doesn't work then jump over to the Chev section and again choose that same model and hertz choice as for some reason the Chev section gives the choice 5 of tire type/pressure selection for going back a number of years. Could very well be an Autel thing that they just didn't get the updates all done properly under Sierra but anyway first try that selection 9 I suggested under Sierra and then go from there.

      Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
