Just before (about 1/2 second) the 3-4 shift I hear a clicking noise coming from the trans area. It does it about 75% of the time and can vary from a soft click to a pretty loud pop. It sounds like a solenoid, but I am not aware of anything that should be making enough noise to be heard from inside the cab with the windows up and the air on. It definitely wasn't there when the truck was new and seemed to start doing it about 2k miles ago. To reiterate - it does it just before you feel the shift start, not during the shift, so it doesn't have anything to do with slack in the drive train.

 

Anybody have any ideas on what this could be?

 

Thanks.

do you have warranty?

 

Yes, but I want to have an idea of what could be wrong before taking it in, in case I get the "working as designed" or "could not duplicate" or "we can't find anything wrong, bring it in again if it gets any worse", etc.

its a noise that has to heard by a tech and you ,go for a road test with the tech and duplicate it for him.

 

I've never heard of a noise but take it in and go with the tech or service manager.

 

you may not get an answer here but that isn't necessary ,

 

make sure they have a tranny guy and if you don't like the answer you get ,take it to another dealer .

 

thats what has to happen for a happy customer .

 

good luck

 

is the oil dark at all ?

The fluid looks good. Nice and pink and doesn't smell burnt.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
