I have a 2017 LTZ and have had a few different problems. This is one I just happened to notice recently. I am not sure when it started because I am bangin my music from the time I get in my truck until I get out. Anyway, my brake pedal makes a weird squeak when depressing the pedal. Now that I have heard it it is driving me nuts. But what's even worse than that is the invisible bird(s) in my engine compartment. There's a high pitch squeaky chirp that I hear when idling. I have taken it in the shop for this and they said it's normal. I'm not dumb nor an idiot so I'm like no, it's not. I have had alot of vehicles and the only noise I have heard similar is a belt or a bearing going out in something. Anyway, help! Please.

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

I have the same annoying squeak when I press the brake pedal. Like everyone else, I've tried white lithium grease every where with no success. But, simply by adjusting the pedals closer to me with the electric button on the center console....the squeak is now gone! But if I return the pedals to the furthest away position, then the squeak returns.

Very old thread but this happened to me with a 2015 Silverado today. I saw this as I was researching why. I decided to spray the brake rod that's entering the firewall with wd40 and the squeaky noise is gone

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
