Exhaust valve

[snarkee]

My adaptive exhaust valve has squeaked on my 14 sierra since day 1

 

I booked an appointment July 28th and took the head service guy for a ride to have him hear the squeak every time the truck goes from 4 to 8 cylinder mode

 

Today he finally called me back to tell me Gm doesn't have a fix for it

 

For the people who HAVE had theirs fixed, what did your work order say?

 

Thx

Replace the exhaust. PI1201A applies to trucks built prior to December 8, 2013 and can be replaced under warranty if still within warranty.

Mine is a march 14 build and they say there is nothing they can do

[fondupot]

clamp it open and be done with it.

Get some high temp anti seize compound a put it on the pivot pin and spring.

I just clamped it. Obviously being that the dealer took a month to call me back they don't care. I'll just save my time and keep it clamped. Thx

How many miles do you have on it? Call the 1-800 number for GM or try another dealer. Should be under warranty unless you are out of mileage.

3200. I don't have time for Gm and their shenanigans . My 14 silverado was a POS and all they did was give me lip service for 3 months. Nothing but empty promises about how they care etc. all it did was waste my cell phone minutes lol

Exhaust system is covered under the 8yr / 80,000 warranty.

How do you"clamp" it? Any pics, my squeaks also. Only time I notice it though is when my windows are down.

Just turned it counterclockwise and used a hose clamp to hold it

There's also a method to put a botl through the adatptive vavle listed here...

That's what I did 4 months ago and its still holding strong. I like the way it sounds a little better too

Yea, it talks about the rattle from the muffler and the whistle from the valve also.

That method is intended for diagnostic aid, not a permanent fix, although some people have used it.

 

If the condition is reduced or changes greatly in severity with the bolt installed, replace the exhaust system.

 

 

We ordered one for a truck with this issue.
