I just called the Dealer Parts Dept and asked about 17800431 (SHOCK SENSOR AND MODULE)& 17800432(WHEEL TILT THEFT ALARM) Shock & Wheel sensors.

He says I don't have AUO or UK3, which is required for installation of these parts, per the limited information that these parts show. Not sure why they wouldn't be applicable in this truck?

This is a 2009 Silverado ECNB LT with remote start.

Anyone know the reason why I can't install these parts, (the Parts guy wanted me to ask in here)?

AUO - Remote Keyless Entry

 

UK3 - Steering wheel mounted radio controls

The truck has the Remote Keyless entry (The Key Chain remote), but it's not listed under my VIN NUMBER, weird.

I don't have the UK3, but I find it hard to believe that I can't install the wheel theft and shock sensors in this truck because I don't have wheel mounted radio controls.

 

Again---weird.

Let me give you some well researched advice. You are better off installing an aftermarket security system, thant going with the OEM sensors. It will cost you about the same, yet, the OEM sensors do not work very well. I installed a Viper remote start 2 way security system for about $550.00 (with customer sensors on my toolbox), and I literally get a 1 mile range on the remote. This system also notifies you when your alarm is activated by making the remote beep/vibrate. I wanted to keep the stock system, and not have to go aftermarket, but the OEM system just sucked. I am really glad I went this route. Good luck.

Might want to look in your owner's manual for that addon's instructions. Maybe the add-on you want has some settings that you would use those buttons to adjust the settings with?

      GM discontinuing interior parts on a 5YO vehicle??

      By Dkd71 · Posted

      The part # is 84520447, mine does not have the cooled seats but I'm willing to possibly change the cover and foam if needed.   I tried that site and a few others,  added to cart and then paid. About an hout later I received a refund stating it has been discontinued.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Thought I would add to what Bruce answered, not only do the HD models use the torsion bar system, there are I believe 5 different torsion bar spring ratings that are all physically interchangeable with all the HD trucks going from a two wheel drive 2500 all the way up to the duramax or a gas engine truck with a snow plow prep package front end weight capacity that use the maximum sized torsion bar. It starts from a 4400 lb rated set in 400 lb increments up to 6000 lb. If one wants to fine tune the ride for a certain truck application they can swap out the torsion bars.

      OIL CONSUMPTION

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off pay close attention to what Newdude pasted as he is a GM tech !.    I have a couple of questions which might cross off some questions others on this forum would be wondering about as well. So when was the engine oil changed prior to this trip, was it almost brand new oil or did it already have a fair bit of use on it before you started the trip.   Did you check the oil level on flat ground and was it at the full mark just before leaving on this trip which I gather from google map is about 700 miles or so. Why I ask and this is not the first time in history that has happened, that either a dealer or some other shop changed the oil on the vehicle and the vehicle left the shop and the owner ( you ) assumed the engine oil was full but in reality the person who changed the oil simply did not put enough oil into the engine .. it happens !. Also that a shop put the wrong viscosity oil in and an engine was not happy with that thinner viscosity and oil got past the rings at a higher rate than the proper viscosity. Not to mention if there was any leaking out of a drain plug or the filter gasket etc.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You could, although in the end it really doesn't make much difference what comes out in exact terms since it comes down to putting enough back in so that there is enough volume so that something flows back out once the trans is up to temp for the check procedure. I presume your putting a pan on that has a drain plug but its probably the same pan mold/size as at least a while back no extra volume pan was made for the gas truck version due to the exhaust cross over pipe issue. All I can say as per volume I put back in and this was based on changing out the filter as some is trapped in it that does not come out until its removed because of the way its made inside and my truck had sat over night with the trans having been hot when shut down and dripping internally before I pulled the pan. I went off of what the trans shop suggested as a minimum volume he found worked which was 9 1/2 quarts and I had enough flow out of the stand pipe that I knew I was right on the money once it slowed to a dribble and never wasted hardly any oil but it would be totally fine to throw in a full 10 quarts too. I guess personally I wouldn't ruin a perfectly good pan by drilling a hole in it, not with the cost of replacement pans up here or the dorman one anyway with the drain was 500.00 when I priced one out a while back, totally stupid.    I might not have said before but this trans oil type really expands with heat and I think its been said on this forum and the trans shop said the same so I wanted to try and hit the lower temp of the range vs at the top or go shooting above it as that would allow more oil to flow out which wouldn't be ideal.

      Since I am going to be replacing the pan, I am just going to drill a hole in the original to drain it so I will be able to catch the fluid easier and measure how much I took out.
