I've recently noticed some unusual noises coming from my rear sliding window when I open and close it. I took a quick look and saw the visible wire that opens and closes the window, but I was unable to pinpoint the source of the noise. Any other 2014 owners that have had or are having this problem please chime in...

I'm having my regulator and all associated parts replaced. They messaged me last week and advised that the parts are currently on backorder and they will contact me when they come in.

Is the rear window problem going to be the new intermediate steering shaft of this generation of trucks?

 

Sure hope they are sending out revised parts to you guys and not just more of same out of inventory.

I guess we'll find out, but I'm also guessing that this early in the game there aren't going to be any updated parts.

What exactly is breaking on the windows? Do they start making noises before the break or is it just all of the sudden? My truck hasn't been delivered yet so I'm just looking for information so I know what to listen for when I get mine...

Mine didn't make any warning noise. I noticed the plastic cover on the pulley looked out of place, and attempted to open the window. It made a nasty grinding sound and refused to open. I had only opened it between 5 and 10 times prior to that.

Driver's side cover? That's what I noticed as well. The little pulley didn't look too good, either. Thinking the cable rode up on it and smoothed out some edges that keep cable tracking correctly.

That is the one.

Mine also broke on the drivers side. Mine popped since I bought it. Dealer replaced all the parts and the slide. I haven't had any more issues and I open it once a week.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By Atlas · Posted

      In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks

      NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
