Anyone work at a GM dealer in the metro area?

[striker754]

I've got a GMC truck with a tire pressure light issue. The computer needs to be reprogrammed to update the software on it. Most places I call want ~$100 to do it. I can't see paying that much to just shut off a light! Is there anyone out there who could help me out for less? Thanks

The issue is below:

Tire Monitor System - Tire Pressure Light Stays ON

TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 08-03-16-004A

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to add the Avalanche and 2009 Saturn VUE to the models. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-03-16-004 (Section 03 - Suspension).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the tire pressure light stays on even though tire pressure values are correct. It should also be noted that no DIC messages have been displayed and a scan tool will reveal no DTCs within the RCDLR.
Correction
Important: From the controller list, select RCDLR Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (Pass-Thru Only).
If all the above conditions have been met, then reprogram the RCDLR. A revised service calibration has been released to address this issue. Reprogram the RCDLR using the TIS2WEB Service Programming System (SPS) application. As always, make sure your Tech 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.
Important: The Copy and Paste TPM Information function in Tech 2(R) must be used when reprogramming the RCDLR. This function can be used to copy all the information that is related to the tire pressure monitoring system (including tire sensor ID's) and paste the information into a freshly SPS reprogrammed RCDLR. Refer to Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Programming and Setup in SI for additional information.

Why would a dealer charge to fix something that is in a service bulletin? Should be warranty work.

Not all SB's are a warranty issue. Depending on the year and mileage most service managers can do a warranty job out of warranty as a loyal customer thing. They can do so many of these a month up to a certain mileage. Go to Hudiburg over by Tinker and ask for either Paul Maxwell or Robbie Thomas. Tell them Richard Atwood sent you and explain the situation.

Screw the stealerships!!! Go to Northwest Automotive on North Western south of Chesapeake. Tom is a good guy. He has all of the dealership tools and will be able to reprogram your ride.

Was the vehicle purchase locally? Take it where you purchased it with a copy of the SB. Service Mgr will not remedy, ask for GM. Make it known, you will go to another dealership and will NEVER darken their door again, as well as inform your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers as to their treatment of you and this issue.

If not purchased locally, try any local dealership. Same routine, just add in, recent relocation and search for a quality dealership to earn your loyalty.

BUT , they are ALL crooks. Good Luck.

A year later, I hope he has already resolved his issue!

Still haven't resolved it yet! Haven't found anywhere to do it other than the stealership!

Sell it and don't buy from Gubment Motors.
