Has anyone had a problem programming the garage door opener to there truck? I am unable to get mint to work and when I called GM they gave me an 800 # to call the people that make the unit in the truck and they were unable to get it to work, but for $10 I could order some thing that would make it work. That sucks when you pay $27k for your truck you should be able to open a freaking garage door. :)

 

PS TGIF ; )

I found that it was very easy to program a rolling code opener to the truck but very difficult to program a non-rolling code opener (I have one rolling and 2 non at my place).

 

So which are you having a problem with (rolling or non-rolling code)???

I didn't have any problem with mine, I didn't even have to program it, it just knew. :) Kiddin'. What kind of garage door have you got? I thought it was fairly straight forward, but the procedure varies by door.

I'm a garage door mechanic and the rolling codes gave me some problems as well. Its not very clear in the instructions, but you have to follow BOTH sets of instructions (for non-rolling AND rolling codes).

 

I'll give you a step by step just to give you an idea, you can fill in the rest from the instructions.

 

1) Clear the codes in the truck

2) Program the truck using the non-rolling instructions (Holding the remotes very close to the buttons in the truck)

3) After you get the truck programmed for the non-rolling, go ahead and program it for the rolling code now (Using the smart button on the operator and holding the button in the truck)

 

That should do it, but like I said just take the steps I gave you and compare them with your truck manual and it should be fairly easy to figure out. If you still have problems let me know.

I did my Geine last week. (That sounds porno...LOL :) ) It worked fine. Start with the garage door open. Push and hold the 3 buttons in the truck I think until they flash, you might check the owners manual on that.

 

Then go push the button on the opener motor and run back to the truck and push and hold the button in the truck that you wnat it to be. Hold the truck button until the door closes then let go. You're done! It took about 7 to 10 seconds for mine to find my code.

Just don't let go of the button in the truck until the door moves.

I'll add:

1. This could take as long as 30 seconds before the door moves when programming.

2. DO NOT repeatedly press the "learn" button on the genie motor without attempting to program a remote or letting enough time pass for the LED to stop flashing before pressing it again. Pressing it too many times in short period will erase ALL remotes from the motor (I did this at my dad's house by accident, so I got his car programmed but all other remotes tied to this opener were deleted and had to be re-programmed.

3. This one should be obvious: DO NOT park the vehicle under the door while programming (be completely in or out of the garage when programming).

Well I have done all that an still no luck :)

 

...Dang I just did mine and opened my neighbors door across the street. Just kidding. What did GM tell you to buy for $10? That would probably be cheaper for me then spending an hour trying to program the two systems.

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
