Thank you @daniel murphy With your tutorial I was able to replace this switch in about 20 minutes. Local dealer had one in stock (New P/N 84488395) for 20$. Towed about 100 miles yesterday and today without issue. No more alert message/trailer brakes disabled and Braking is much stronger on the trailer now. I had to back the gain down to 6 to prevent tires from dragging.

Same issue on my truck 2022 ZR2. Same "No resolution GM is working on a fix" response from dealer. Started a claim with GM waiting for response. I NEED to tow regularly with this truck, tractor or travel trailer 6-8k lbs trailer multiple times a week. I think we can all agree this isn't safe. I just want the truck to work. I'd be happy if they found me another one, but this downtime is killing me. Before the problem was diagnosed, we spent a bunch of time testing on other trailers and other trucks. Can anyone tell me what the benefit of posting the issue to NHTSA? The dealer doesn't have anything to loan me and I just had to pay to have the travel trailer transported to my property. I'm losing faith here as the truck also makes a strange intermittent knock noise while warming up in the morning too. This situation with the trailer brakes is going to cause accidents plain and simple.

I guess I really cant complain. No maintenance other than oil/filter changes and I did the rear end and xfer case at the house. Automakers are quietly pushing society to electric vehicles.

I also looked into performing this myself with no success and it looked like a major PITA on the driveway. My dealer changed the filter and filled fluid at 56k miles for about 400$. This involved dropping the y pipe and took them a long time to do so. Tech said it was somewhat difficult to get transmission temp up for proper level check maybe a symptom of having more cooling capacity on the NHT. Why cant we have a dipstick and drain plug?! While at the dealer I walked around all 6 new trucks they had for sale and felt better about my decision given what they want for a new one currently.

Revisiting this topic. Has anyone had (or done themselves) a 10spd serviced yet? I asked a dealer for information and the answer was "we flush them and that will be $429" Normally I have performed these myself with a filter and fluid change. At 50k miles now I feel obligated to get this done.

I Installed these on a friends truck. Gravity bled them one at a time until fluid came out and bled normally with two people. Don't let the small reservoir go empty and it will be ok. I didn't have a wheel sensor plugged in all the way and the truck went crazy when we started back up. It took several restarts to clear the error once the sensor was plugged back in.

Had this happen on my 19 at about 10k miles (Actually was dripping). Seal was on a nationwide back order so I had to wait about 1 month before the parts even came in. I am also very hesitant to let other people work on my vehicles. I made sure that a driveline tech was performing the repairs and pre-loading the pinion bearing correctly. Seal replaced under warranty. No issues 15k later. I would also pay close attention once the repairs are performed to make sure the rear axle isn't whining from over tightening of the pinion nut. I have seen people drive these on with an impact gun not understanding what they were doing. That being said, the amount of oil on that seal is about a drop worth. As CamGTP stated, maybe clean it and keep an eye on it. If you start to see oil splattered around the gas tank area, probably time for a seal. I also found that the factory fill level was way low. I check all fluid levels when I first purchase a vehicle.
