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.

It’s a Genie and is pretty new..

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.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
