I had this issue on my 2007 Silverado. I found that turning up the radio eliminates the problem............

Wish it were that easy. I actually thought that. So, I took my shoes off. Squeak, squeak, squeak.

WD-40? Usually fixes everything. LOL

There was a TSB for this on the Lambda vehicles (Outlook/Traverse/Acadia/Enclave). It involved changing out the brake booster, master cylinder, and most importantly the brake fluid. I don't have the TSB number but ask the dealer to look up the issue on those vehicles. I had it done to our Enclave a few years ago and the squeak has not been back.

Thanks. Did some Googling and found it seems to be a common issue. Funny thing is his Enclave is at the dealer right now because its leaking engine coolant from somewhere. His Buick has been by far the shittiest vehicle he's ever had. Problems every 10k miles. First the water pump went out, then the HVAC controller, BOTH heated front seats stopped working, then the ALL of the in-dash air blend actuators stopped working, then his A/C crapped out, now leaking coolant. What a piece of shit. He's waiting for 2015 Sierras/Silverados then I think he is getting rid of that car.

 

Bad luck lately, literally just had my sisters 2008 Equinox in the shop leaking coolant from a bad head gasket.

Well , well, well. The Damn brake pedal started the squeaking again. Finally got in to the dealer so they could examine. New booster will be installed Friday. WD-40 and other BS is NOT the solution!

What is a booster?

A brake booster makes it easier to push the brake pedal. It is a vacuum assist system. If the car did not have a brake booster, it would be very hard to push the brake pedal and stop the car. The brake booster is located underneath the hood in the engine compartment, behind the brake master cylinder.

2015 SILVERADO. Squeeke in brake pedal every time it's applied! Had the booster replaced twice and its still squeeke's. This is crazy annoying. Just replaced the booster at jerry seiner in salt lake on 12-23-14. Squeeke is back 12-25-14. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Bringing this post back. Mine has been squeaking when applying the brakes. Started about 3k ago. At 21k. +/-. I looked at it tonight. the rod that goes from the pedal to the master cylinder is tight and the noise is from the rod going through the boot. I was thinking some grease or lubricate on the rod where it goes through the boot would be the fix. ??? anyone.

Update. Dealer put some silicone looking grease on the push rod at the boot. quiet. Now I know the fix. I didn't want to grease it myself if there was a booster issue, recall etc. Now that the dealer looked at it just greased it, I can do that every few months. Easy enough. I'll use my NAPA bearing grease.

My '16 HD has been doing this off and on since I got it a few weeks ago. The HD trucks have a recall and I wonder if they are related at all. I'll find out when I take it in for the recall in the next few weeks.

^Please update. My truck pedal makes noise 100% of the time time Unreal. I wish I took it in before the 36k warranty ran up. I was so busy and confident it was a bit of grease on the brake pedal rode by the foot well area..... NOT.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
