It try update over air and left my battery drain 1st thing in morning with my kids in back. Good thing I had it towed to dealership they said it was radio recall. Scary that it can leave you stranded cause of truck trying update and my phone having problems with connection over Bluetooth

My thoughts exactly. I had a brunch of parts picked out on Amazon. Just very pulled the plug and bought them. The rubber boot for the air box, I thought needed that bump for flex. There was a couple videos on you tube that showed someone doing it. They drilled a hole and tapped it for the breather line. Should be a straight shot from a straight boot to a 90 degree boot.

Yes it would. But I don't have it anymore. Bought it cheap and is the reason that I got it. Somebody said he wanted one. And made me an offer. So I sold it for more than I paid. I didn't think of doing that until awhile later. Oh well!

Love your site. Just picked up our new 2500hd two days ago to replace our 2004 1500 z71 that we purchased new. I discovered your page when searching for an oil change, because I too am a big proponent of a 500-1000 mile break in oil change. Keep up the great work and now every video of yours that I see gives me a project to add to my list. 😂

That 77-3103KC kit is an open box under the hood. It was too noisy. Thought about enclosing it. So it would draw from the OEM bottom and should be quieter. And maybe use the OEM air filter. Thanks!

Thanks for the great video. All I run is Western Unimounts. All though old, they are the best plows I have owned. I also have trouble pushing the ram by hand on one of them. It’s probably because like you said that big bolt on ram is too tight and preventing it from going down easy. 👍

I had the K&N 77-3103KC kit. Yes, it made a difference. But the 4" elbow seemed too big and was loose. That's one reason I think the 57-3098 kit would work. Sorry to bother you. You one of the first that seems to understand. Thank you for your responses.

I'm like you, keep looking. But I noticed that the one that fits the 6.2L with the air filter box on the passenger side. Looks like it may work. I know that the filter is wrong. Would have to plug one breather whole and figure how to relocate the cooling line.

I remember that I was told that the passenger side was the inlet. And the driver side was the outlet. This was done to keep the incoming air clean and then sucked out the other side. So you would only need 1 catch can there. Right or I'm I missing something. And I seen on your Tahoe that you have a Cold Air tube replacement. Have you thought about doing that to the Silverado 2500hd? I don't care for the complete Air box replacement kits. I have been thinking how to just do a tube replacement. And get rid of the resonator box. Any thoughts? And again thanks for the videos!

Love your videos. I'm interested in your catch can style. Waiting for your video. Thanks for the info.

The recall in this video is the serial data gateway module and radio update, GM has revised this recall to remove radio update, only serial data gateway module needs to be updated now. However, some trucks/SUVs, typically pre 2024 model, came with android 10 system installed from factory, and the latest version available is android 12. According to GM, latest version fixes multiple wireless connection/blank screen/not responding/other functional and stability issues, it is weird that GM removes radio update with this recall, some vehicles/owners may really need it. GM also says the OTA update, or wireless update, could update your radio to the latest, but in real case, I figured that such OTA updates often either fails or does not send you any update at all, even if your radio system is really outdated. So if you are sending you vehicle to dealership for such recall, take a moment and check the radio system version, go to your info screen, click setting, go all the way to the botton and looking for system version, if it is not android 12 (typically shows in blue color, android 10 shows in white), talk to your advisor and ask if they could update your radio manually, you may or may not have to pay for that since it is not required by recall anymore.

I gather you use automatic transmission fluid which I am guessing works fine for most of your expected temperature conditions but might get a bit stiff when you hit your coldest temps. I have a self moving grain auger on the farm so it has its own hydraulic system and a normal semi synthetic hydraulic oil did not work out well at all and rather than go to auto trans fluid I put what used to be referred to as J13, its even thinner than non synthetic automatic trans oil and I believe was developed for applications like air craft landing gear and I am told those delivery truck platforms use that oil in cold weather to get to operate. Cold winter conditions are brutal ! ... guys used to pour in and may still do, a percentage of kerosene into their hydraulic tank oil to thin it out for their gravel end dump trailers when using them during the winter.

good afternoon, sir. Hope all is well. I wanted to ask you a quick question. I have the same truck as you but the midnight edition LT I was wondering if you’ve seen or is it common for them to be a little bit of old shim or shimmer around the oil pan or the transfer transmission case I’ve got just a little over 7000 miles on my truck now and I did my first oil change at 5000 miles, but I’ve noticed all starting to accumulate near the oil pan after cleaning it off with accumulates again not a whole lot but enough to ask anybody their opinion or calls for concern

Thanks for the video. I purchased the factory cable and fuse block for the secondary battery and I do want to isolate the secondary battery when the truck is off. Can I run a switched power source to the plug in the harness to make it work as intended, without having to get a new engine harness?

My truck is at the dealership right now because I came out to my truck completely dead Sunday morning as I was trying to go to Church. I just purchased it two weeks ago and they said they did do a software update that was part of a recall but my car still died. We will see what they say today.

Please change that flag… that’s horrible sir 😢

Is bought 2024 2500hd diesel 2 weeks ago . Have this same problem, radio volume very low and car play calls cut in and out , smh

Do you have the harness part number if we want to use it as an auxiliary battery? We occasionally turn gas 2500's into police vehicles, and would like an option that's as factory as possible.

I have a 2000 Tahoe 64k original miles with collector plates. Runs, drives like new. I would never buy a modern GM/Chevrolet truck: rolling iPhones on wheels. Just bought a Frontier Pro4X instead.

I traded a LTZ for a ZR2. Ordered both with the switches, so both were mounted, but that is it. All wires and blocks still need installed. Having both kits still i compared and the ZR2 is at least a foot longer. Just an FYI. GREAT VIDEO!

I have a 2024 Silverado 1500LT with a V8 gas engine. I can’t for the life of me figure out the how and where of installing a second battery under the hood like I did with my Tahoe. There doesn’t appear to be room without moving stuff around. I have a Decked system and a SmartCap so I’ve got other options, but I’d prefer it to be under the hood. Any safe ideas? I’ve had people suggest welding a bracket behind the grille but all I can see in that case is a front end collision and a massive short.

Great info just wondering what type of oil grade does it take?

I was ready to walk out of dealership with fab in hands to my new truck, hold on there is a recall on the software, I had to leave my truck overnight , only to pick up next day , ok up to this day , thanks

very helpful!

Also I assume that the part number listed 84663447 is the fuse block that isolates the battery on gas engine option. Almost twice the price. I like your install with the diesel block. Not planning to have a camper. I do have the 5th wheel prep but only planning to tow a gooseneck equipment trailer. I’m ordering all the parts for this install soon and don’t want to spend $100+ extra by ordering both fuse blocks when I believe I only need to by the 84663446 block. It doesn’t look like you had anything else listed that was specific to the gas stock set up. Am I correct?

When I looked up the part number you had listed for aux fuse block 84663446 the GM parts description is: With auxiliary battery, with dual alternator, aux battery, 6.6L diesel. This part requires programming and/or special setup procedures. GM Service Information describes the procedures and special tools needed to ensure proper operation in the vehicle I didn’t see you using any special tools or having to do any special programming. Is the description BS so you’ll bring it to a dealer.

Haven’t had the update yet. I did have the battery go dead and the tailgate malfunction. My truck had been waiting to be fixed since august. A guy pulled out in front of me. He had a red blinking light I had yellow blinking light. The shop was so backed up and waiting on a part they are just starting to work on it now. Truck hag 3700mi when I got in the accident. So still have to take it in for the tailgate and soft wear recall.

Great info!

Ordered a kit today. Do I need to get a 60 amp bolt to bolt fuse or should it come with one.

Decided to get the software update done today. Everything worked fine before and seems fine now at least on the test drive home. Also I just received the tailgate notice yesterday so they had the part and took care of that too.

My sound level goes down and after a few seconds it comes back up No done the update yet but am going to!

Does the software update wipe out all your settings, like seat, dash, garage door opener?

Would it matter if I installed this harness before the plow is installed and no solenoid present yet?

I had mine done on my 24 1500 Zr2 this summer, I was lucky enough to have a loaner for the day. Zero issues since the update.

Do you know what those three wires are that are taped off close to the power block are for?

For this recall, on the 2024 2500 HDs, does it upgrade android 10 to android 12???

What kind of grease you recommend?

What if the solenoid is on the plow like the 2 plug fleet flex

Had the recall done on my 2024 AT4X HD, text messages from my iPhone no longer work. I see no notification on the screen or indication someone has messaged me. Before the recall I'd get a ding and if I was stopped the message would show up on the radio. The "play message" feature has never worked, and now I don't have any text messaging whatsoever. It sucks, but I will try the battery fix. I have done the holding down of the hangup button for a reset multiple times and it hasn't worked, so don't have high hopes for the battery.

The only issue I had with my 2024 2500hd that I am aware of was google maps would stop working once in a while. After the update, it still did it. So I don't know if it did anything for my truck. After the last time, I learned to force restart/reset the infotainment system. You must be in park and hold the end call button on the steering wheel for about 10-15 seconds.

There’s been a problem with there radios since 2019. I took GM to court for lemon law for the radio issues I’ve had and won 10 grand for a radio. GM GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.

I had my trailer brake module recall done and they came out with this about a week later. I haven't taken the time to get it done, but my CarPlay has been quirky to connect and wireless CarPlay hasn't worked in months. Hoping this update may correct that but not real confident!

What years does it cover?

I got the update and ever since then I get a cel that keeps going on an off randomly. Codes thrown are for map sensor, parking module with errors from the serial gateway loosing connection with power steering, loosing connection with the brakes, one of the front cameras loosing comms with serial gateway. And fyi, I have tried the hard reset twice now prior to this video and while a good time would pass between the cel going off and coming back. Now it happens every so many miles. So it’s gotten worse

I had no issues at all before the update. After the update my clock looses time, clock will reset to the correct time next time you start engine then starts loosing time again,radio cuts off while driving down the road for 10 to 15 seconds then comes back on. Also driving down the road radio keeps going to home screen. I wish I would not have gotten the update!!!!!

Buying a new truck these days is bad🎉

I think everything is working ok on my '24 2500hd so I'm hesitant to take it in for the update. I have an appointment next week but may just cancel for a while.

just bought my 2024 two weeks ago. not sure if it's done, but my android auto is trash and at one point the infotainment center just deleted my phone all together on the phone page lol. it wasn't happy. but even with just Bluetooth and android auto disabled on my phone, my phone connects but truck says media is unavailable sometimes. had no issues in my 2019 Volkswagen Atlas with android auto. I also saw Android auto is coming out with another huge update, version 12 to 13.3 I believe I read.

No issues on mine. I have two.

I did get the recall done. And I haven't had any issue since, or I didn't have any issues before either.
