2017 Silverado 1500 Nothing but Issues
aaronarf replied to adamjonesabm05's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
I went to a car actually, a fun DD to save some mpg and money - 2019 VW GTI. I looked at full sizes, SUVs and everything in between. Next truck will be an F150 3.5 for sure, just going to wait until my commuting distance gets shorter... Didn't want to kill another $60k truck. Going to make due without a truck for a bit, first time I've been without one since 2011. -

Im with you OP, I traded mine in a few weeks ago. Vac pump, oil cooler lines leaking, and finally the transmission flutter / torque converter was enough to push me over the edge. 81K miles on my 17 when I traded it, I felt impeding disaster coming with it so I let it go. I fully intended to keep it for a lot longer...it just was not refined and too many known issues, felt like I solved one and immediately hopped onto the next. (all out of warranty) -

GM under investigation for faulty brake vacuum pumps
aaronarf replied to Ozer's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
Damn. I just put a GM PN12669488 in my truck yesterday. Could you take a few pictures of the pump and the packaging before installing so we can compare? -
Assuming your pump isn't failing? I installed the revised pump today and the ABS no longer is noticable at low speed when repeatedly braking. Install was relatively easy even doing it on the ground in my driveway. The most difficult thing for me was unplugging the crank position sensor. Fought with it for longer than I'd care to admit. 4wd does make it a little more cramped but easily. DIY doable.

I just got my 2017 Silverado reflashed today, knowing that my low speed braking was already severely degraded due to vacuum pump not outputting as it should. The low speed repeated braking isn't worse but you can definitely feel/hear the ABS firing off after the vac pressure gets out of tolerance and the pedal gets hard. Almost feels like a icy road with ABS hitting intermittently as you hit areas of traction. I am sure if you prolong the fix and rely on this bandaid it could cause early ABS pump failure. Bottom Line: The reflash makes low speed braking BETTER (as in less likely to hit something / no brakes at all) with a failing pump/hard pedal scenario. It's probably why they decided to do this fix on all - in the event of a failure you will be left with "a little" better brakes which means they save face and money. Hopefully buying you enough time to stop before having a low speed collision. TBD how it feels after I replace my pump tomorrow.
