Hi Folks,

New to the forum just joined. Was looking for help with my nav system. Have a 08 Silverado 14,000 on it, bought from local dealer traded my 06 1500 Silverado which I loved. Love the new truck but this whole nav system thing has me bummed. Seems the nav disc was missing when we purchased the truck, have waited three weeks for them to turn up a disc. First one was a ver 3.0 and would even load said it wasn't a map dvd. The second one they got for me is a ver 4.0 GM pn:25974486U not sure where they got it seeing all my research says they are back ordered. The disk look like and OEM and came plastic wrapped and all. So here's the long story longer inserted this disk it said it was updating system and did a software load. System seems fine except the guidance system never prompt for turns or if you go off route. It does tell you to proceed to highlighted route and tells you it's suspending route guidance at the destination. I call the 800 number on the back of the disc gal check with tech but says if voice prompt is on should work must be a bad disc. Now I'll explain I've tried a disc I purchased off ebay as well PN:25912408U and it works excatly the same as the ver 4.0 disc. Any advice are they poorly done copies of an OEM product?? Are the nav disc copiable?

Disk pn:25974486 is the current disk..2009

Disk pn:25912408 is the previous disk..2008.

 

I have the 25974486 and it works great.

The loading software thing happened to me too when I put the 2009 disk in.

 

Go thru the settings and make sure you have the voice prompts turned on and the volume set at the proper level..ie..loud enough to hear.

 

You can adjust the VOICE volume separately from te radio volume.

Assuming you can get the voice prompts to come on at all...when it says something...turn the radio volume knob "UP" or "DOWN" as needed to have the proper volume for the voice prompts..but you probably have already figured that out.

 

Mine will tell me when I go off of the route it think I should be on. I am not sure if there is a setting for that or not.

There are setting to allow / disallow, toll roads and ferries.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
