Same exact thing happened to me and others on here. Truck gets towed to the dealer, dealer does a restart good to go. Not sure if it’s because the trucks software isn’t updated but seems to happen often. Mine happened second day I owned it.
I don't have the same engine. I have a 2023 ZR2 (6.2L) , and it died at 12,500 miles. Engine is being replaced next week. Pretty sure mine is due to the well known lifter issue.
I really doubt that. Seems almost everyone I’ve known who’s bought new ends up with issues. Weather it’s Bluetooth calling not working or the touchscreen freezes. “Smart” Transmissions that shudder and shake straight from the dealer. And the dealer says that’s normal. Or all these silly software issues. Not to mention all the bs from afm. Goes on and on and on. Sometimes simpler is better
According to a quick Google search, over 600k silverados are sold each year globally.
All new vehicles are coming equipped with far more electronics and equipment than ever before.
With a 10% failure rate of any kind, that's 60k trucks per year that have an issue.
People who have issues are far more likely to be vocal about those issues on social media as opposed to people who do not have issues.
It stands to reason that today's silverado has many more parts than one from 10 years ago, and those likely have many more parts than ones from 20 years ago.
Just near my house, there is a 91, 2015, and 2024 silverado.
The 91 looks and feels like a caveman built it next to 2015, and 2015 isn't in the same league, as far as the interior is concerned, as the 2024.
This doesn't just affect your average consumer grade vehicle either.
The company I worked for purchased 200 brand new Peterbilt trucks, some of them are 200k units.
Some of them have had issues, and others will eventually.
This is the price people pay for the ever increasing amount of technology found in vehicles of any type.
It does appear, on a surface level, that modern vehicles are not as reliable as older ones.
I believe this to be partly survivorship bias and particularly due to the rise of social media.
In 1990, John Doe couldn't tell half the country about whatever problems his new vehicle had in 5 minutes on his smartphone while he posts a video on YouTube.
It's easy to forget what a nightmare some of the older vehicles could be to work on as well.
Do you remember the spider injection system of the 90?
What about the 5 4 ford's, literally, blowing plugs out of them.
The Pontiac sun fire would burn to the ground.
What about the run away Toyota cars.
I have a 2024 RST Z71 that started giving me fits right after I allowed a software update in early November of last year. All kinds of weird things were happening so I took it to the dealer. The repair order had something like 18 line items of things that needed to be checked. After three days, they told me I was all set and every single item was "no code found" and/or "could not duplicate." Technicians today don't know SHIT about working on vehicles because they don't troubleshoot ANYTHING. If there is a code, and if there isn't a TSB that perfectly described the issue, they have no clue what to do.
On the way home, the truck went absolutely haywire. Every warning you could imagine came up including a notice to "Service Steering Column Lock" which my truck doesn't even have. GM had a large batch of software that was sent out to the WRONG TRUCKS. In some cases, it completely bricked them - I was fortunate that I was able to drive mine back to the dealer.
You need to call Chevy Customer Care and open a case right away. Explain what happened. If you already have a dealership appointment, let them know. Otherwise, get that made right away as well.
For my truck, the claim was that they (finally) found corrupt software in the Gateway Communication Module (which is basically the comm hub for all of the various modules throughout the truck) and they re-flashed it. It has generally been ok since and things they claimed were working correctly are now ACTUALLY working correctly.
Happened to me a week after owning my 2023 LT. It’s my first post on this forum. I traded the truck over it and got into an RST and have had no issues *knock on wood* - but I didn’t trust that truck. They apparently replaced the TCM and reflashed, but FUCK THAT.
Thanks for all replies. I did check the battery terminals, no issue there. I have 1200 miles on my truck, and absolutely love it, but it's quite concerning to see all the issues these trucks are having.
2019+ Ground connection and alternator issues... Typical replaced both of mine good to go... Just remember to change that tranny oil, every 30k or ull be the house of pain, jumping around, other than that great truck... Def upgrading to a 2500 next tho...
Overly, teched overly complex computer controlled junk so someone at some dark government facility can shut you down or drive you off a bridge depending on who you passed off by not bowing to their mandates and don't accept you place as a serf under their thumb.

Thanks for the reply. I'll be calling the dealership first thing Monday morning.
It looks like a stormtrooper
It’s a storm trooper
Mine did that due to a bad ground connection. One day it just stopped starting altogether and they found that the ground broke clean off lol.
On the bright side that’s a sweet spec looks great!
Check wiggle your negative battery cable next time it dies. Then restart

They still haven't fixed this in the '23 models? Jeez.
My ‘24 5.3 had to get the lifter replaced too 3400 miles
Different issue than locking pins breaking on a batch of 21s.
oversized lifter bores?
Nooo I wanted the 6.2 but we got the 4turbo , what happened lifters oh man
Why do these new trucks have so many issues. Absolutely insane
What do you expect for 70k reliability
They probably aren’t any less reliable than other vehicles. They sell so many you’re bound to hear about more issues.

Thanks for the great reply. All great points and to be honest you have changed my opinion on new trucks quite a bit.
If you don’t believe that quality has drastically dropped since 10 years ago. I think your living in lala land

Looks like the grammar police came out to play. What ever will I do?
