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 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.

WD-40? Usually fixes everything. LOL

Fixed my ring around the toilet.☺

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

    • The LCA bolts are NOT a one time use fastener.  GM does not have them called out as such at all.   They are torque plus degree, but not a one time use TTY.  Nowhere in the service manual does it call out for replacing the LCA bolts for being one time use.  Think about it.  The LCA bolts are now the alignment adjustment point, instead of the UCA bolts like the prior generation.    A bolt that is meant to be adjusted for alignment...would it make sense to make it a one time use component?  How would you get an alignment done in the first place?  You couldn't.       Also.  What TSB exactly?  There is no TSB that I see for 2019-2026 for over-torquing LCA bolts.  There was a PI, PIT5533C, but that covered 2014-2018 body trucks for re-torquing LCA mounting bolts.  But those trucks to a 2019-2026?  Not the same, so PIT5533C does not apply.    
    • Nice looking setup!  Is this the kit you got?  If so 211 is a great deal!  https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/trailering-camera-system-86584184   My TT came with a wireless rear camera but it only works on an app or a separate screen they sell so I've decide it's not worth the hassle since it keeps disconnecting and with wireless android auto it's a hassle trying to connect my phone to it.  So I've been thinking about adding the GM camera so it's integrated into the rest of the camera views.   I also found this one which seems to be a different PN & retail price that explicitly states the invisible trailer view https://www.shopchevyparts.com/chevrolet/2024/silverado-2500-hd/electronics/85825715-silverado-2500-trailer-camera-transparent-view-requires-trg-camera-provisions-p-92326971.html?sort=2a    
    • You didn't say what year it is. I have a '17 5.3 6l80e & used the Range AFM delete for a while to stay in V8 mode. Then I got a local tuner to preform a HPTune on my 6l80e & love it. He did a AFM delete, torque matching between engine & transmission, removed converter slip and mild engine tune that helps the transmission. Gears shift better, at specific speeds, no hunting for gear, no 2 gear down shifts, no spark plug miss feel. Drives like a different truck. I highly recommend it.
    • I know this old thread but I just replaced the left side engine mount on my 2018 5.3 2wd and it was a pain. A quick search showed that it was probably going to cost around $600 to $900 to get it replaced. I researched how to replace it and decided to do it myself being that I'm retired and have the time and tools. What should have taken a day took me 4 days plus a couple trips to my chiropractor and some blood. Why a mount failed at 150k miles is beyond me but such is life.   Peace
