We’ve only got flooded lead battery on our travel trailer. The only camping trip we had left last fall after getting the truck the brakes disconnected and reconnected a couple dozen times. I got the controller replaced before camping season this spring and it did correct the issue. So just a heads up that it’s not just a solar or lithium issue.

I have the same chirp in the same scenario you described. Did you ever take yours in for it?

Does anyone know for sure if the trailer brake controller issue causes an error code to be stored? My service department (which is a bit of a drive away for me) is trying to tell me I have to bring the truck in so they can see for sure it has an error code before ordering the part. But as I understand it there isn’t an error code stored, and the trailer simulator won’t replicate the problem anyways…so it feels like a super wasteful trip to the dealer for me. I’d like to be able to know for sure when I call back so I can tell them not to waste me an hour drive each way and tell them to just order the part and call me when it’s in…

Yes, we snuck into that short window nicely - made a nice few bucks off our 21 Tahoe (more than we paid brand new 3 years ago) on trade-in and also get employee pricing (came to about 10% off MSRP) with no dealer bs, so basically got to swap the two with no money lost despite the truck MSRP being quite a bit higher. But I suspect if we had waited even a few weeks that profit on the Tahoe would’ve disappeared. Dealer had to drop the price on it several times and it sat 2.5 months on their used lot. Now the used ‘21 Tahoes at the dealer close to me are listed about $8000 less than what similar trims/mileage were just since end of August when we made our trade.

Sorry you’re having so many problems. No one wants to deal with that. But it’s good to remember that many of the people who join forums or groups initially do it because they have a concern or problem with their vehicle they are researching. So your results are naturally going to be heavily skewed higher. And then on top of that, most people won’t take the time to respond to a survey unless they feel like it applies to them personally so again, your results will be heavily lopsided and lacking responses from the majority of people who haven’t had issues. A sample size of 210 also is pretty small since they crank out far mor than that every single day at each factory. That’s far less than even 1% of owners. None of that is to question the reality of the problems you’ve had or that others have had. But to say it’s a widespread problem is a stretch. Hope you get yours fixed or replaced or another solution that is satisfactory to your situation though.

They aren’t shipped purely in order of completion though, they transport in batches based on logistics efficiency. So some people wait a lot longer. Truck I initially ordered sat in the shipping queue in Canada for several weeks. Truck we ended up buying from dealer inventory came the 2 hrs by transporter within 5 days of build completion.

Have the twin truck and have been concerned about chipping (none so far but only have 900 miles on it). What are you putting on yours? And are you just protecting the bumper?

Doh. Just realized you didn’t say yours was a Z71 sport. In any case, the sport package includes it…

I have one. But it is suuuuper hard to see in pictures because it’s so small.

Most in my area do. Then there’s the one in my area that does…but also tries to make up the difference by offering several thousand less on trade in value. But I also live in Big 3 country. Ive read about dealers not taking gms especially in the past couple years but I don’t think dealers in this area could do that without losing a lot of customer base.

Is yours with the Z71 Sport package? Because my 24 2500 LTZ with the z71 sport package does. Flint built.

My 2500 LTZ has it

I get GM employee pricing so price is set. Was about 11% off my particular truck. Most dealers around me advertise some discounts off MSRP of varying amounts, but nothing close to employee pricing.

The expectation (conjecture) is it’s expanding on Friday again, and to plants that produce more profitable vehicles like the suvs and trucks…makes me glad I’m not still waiting for my order…

Without a camper getting around 12.5 on my crappy short city drives. Considering most of those have been no further than 2-5 miles with about 4-8 stoplights along the way, it’s not as bad as I thought it’d be… Highway drives have been limited so far but been around 16-19 on those.
