RE: 99 Tahoe 4WD

When the brake pedal gets to the bottom of its travel, I hear a groan (almost a muted honk...Canadian Goose) and a squeak. Absent a gremlin, or hapless GM mechanic under the dash, my first thought is booster. However, when I turn off the engine and repeatedly press the brake, I still hear the sound...

Wondered if anyone else experiences this. I've checked the vacuum line to the booster, and the brakes function well. Just annoying to have passengers know each time I press the brake...embarrassed to admit that I brake for Hondas...

  That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.

  Engine Wear and ISO 4406 1.) Cold Starts. 2.) High Particle Count. 3.) Low operating temperature viscosity and high low temperature cranking viscosity. 4.) Depleted AW, Friction and Acid packages. 5.) High engine load. https://me.caltexlubricants.com/en_me/home/learning/from-chevron/heavy-duty-diesel-vehicles-and-equipment/The-Importance-of-Clean-Engine-Oil-and-Its-Impact-on-Equipment-and-Business-Performance.html High particle counts have five sources. 1.) They are manufactured within the engine. Both wear debris and amalgamation of degradation products and combustion driven soot (worse in GDI). 2.) They are ingested via intake air. Ever hear the best oil filter is a good air filter? 3.) They are entrained in the fuel. 4.) This one is insidious. They are introduced in 'fresh oil'. 5.) They are introduced during the oil change. ISO 4406 is the test that measures and quantifies the combine effects of all of the above particle related issues. You can mitigate your way into multiples of engine life by being attentive to them all. https://www.hyprofiltration.com/blog/is-new-oil-clean (from the link above) [Quote] What Is the Recommended ISO 4406 Cleanliness Code for New Oil? A good upper limit for new oil cleanliness is 16/14/11 (ISO 4406). Typical new oil usually has ISO codes of 19/17/15 or worse, which is far too dirty for sensitive components. This can be a major cause of degradation and premature failure. [Close quote]. Source of graph: Machinery Lubrication (GM Study)

  So.....everything but the topic.
- Anyone had to replace their Onstar module a.k.a. Telematics unit?

  Hasn't come up in the 3 gm forums I follow. And only gm knows the frequency of failure of that part. LMG, you want a recall so it's replaced for free...
