So my father has the EXACT same truck as me. I drove it today and it is totally a different feel. No squeak, and seems to have a lot better acceleration and not as much transmission and throttle lag. Wtf?

I have contacted corporate about this. It is getting on my last nerve. I hate driving around the city or even on the highway and when I go to hit the gas it sounds like a piece of garbage car squeakin

With all due respect Patsy G, the dealers aren't helpful at all. I've already refunded my extended warranty because they won't fix anything on my truck unless it's on fire and shooting fireworks into

I just noticed one difference between my dads truck and mine. I have the 3.08 rear axle and he has the 3.42. Could that make any sort of huge difference?

Hey Kev,

 

We regret hearing you feel this way and apologize for any negative experience at the dealership. Again, feel free to send us the requested information via private message if you'd like for us to follow up on your behalf. We're happy to assist any way we can.

I also have the exact same noise. The Dealer will replace your cat back however if it starts making the noise again.....too bad. I think I will try a clamp first. Only issue with the clamp is a possible drone when in V4. And I hate drone.

clamping it will get rid of the squeak, but yeah you'll get a slight drone when cruising in V4 mode. I clamped mine all of this past winter, but recently took the clamp off. Of course the squeak is now back and I was trying to spray some lubricant in there but it doesn't seem to help.

this issue just started for me recently. Didn't hear it at all last summer. The afm will probably go out in high mileage anyway, as with the radio screen, and other "programmed" features. Would it changed mpg or pick up? Or affect anything really?

If clamped

My 2014 GMC Sierra All terrain 5.3 Squeaks. At first I thought it was a vacuum hose or something but this makes more sense.

Ill be contacting my dealership when I return home.

So I purchased this Siverardo back in April of this year. It now has just over 2k miles on it. This truck had the crossover pipe replaced when I purchased it because I found a crack in the pipe where the factory tooling flattens it.

 

For what it's worth, I have this "Chirp" as you say, but I hear it as a "Ching" sound also. It happens always when I allow it to coast a bit then hit the accellerator. I also hear a lot of rattles coming from that area mostly on cold start-up and then it dissapates a little.

 

I brought it to the dealer here in Massachusetts. I gave them a typed paper explaining all my concerns. They printed out a couple of reports and told me it was normal noise.. It's very annoying.

 

They did take care of the 70mph vibration but these driving sounds and noise are bad also... This dealership has seen me alot, but hey, I just took out a mortgage on a truck and I think the issues should be taking care of.

 

One thing I also tried, because of my prior experience as an auto mechanic, was having someone hold their hand over the tailpipe with a rag.. You can definately hear leaks up there... Anyone else hear this? I was wondering if this could also be linked to the strange noise I hear when traveling down the road in the left lane, say against a road partition... Strange sounds being bounced back...

Mine just started this a couple months ago. Would greasing the flapper or even partially keeping it open help. A louder exhaust would eliminate the noise I assume?

      Oil Consumption

      I agree.   However, the owner's manual, suggests that a drop over full is just as bad as a drop under. (Read black and white letters only, insert no common sense.)

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That P0700 and loss of power suggests something significant is amiss to me.   More/other codes may suggest otherwise; I would investigate those prior to spending the money to change fluid on a transmission with a bad torque converter.    The relatively sudden escalation of symptoms to me suggests that something began failing (initial shuddering experienced) and rapidly deteriorated (slipping/loss of power). Fluid condition alone wouldn't cause the sudden escalation of problems - though it might have been the cause of the deterioration up to the point of failure.

      AWD conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack operation is in a sense a separate/independent operation from the operation of 'traction control'. Stabilitrack is used to keep the vehicle traveling in the DIRECTION intended, it can brake independent wheels and or adjust throttle to influence the direction the vehicle is moving.   This can be illustrated by a 'fish-tailing' example. At high speeds, if the stabilitrack detects excessive yaw (the vehicle spinning like a top, it has a sensor for this), based on inputs from steering angle it determines that the vehicle is spinning out of control, and begins working to control that unintended spin. By reducing throttle input or braking specific wheels to control or prevent the spin.   The traction control works similarly using the ABS system to slow spinning wheels and thus transfer power to 'other' wheels. The goal being to achieve wheel speeds that are all in agreement with each other, the truck then assumes that since all the wheels speeds are the same no spinning is occurring. For example, launching up a wet boat ramp, there is no excessive yaw present, traction control alone can manage the wheel spin by braking spinning wheels and cutting throttle.   Stabilitrack and traction control from a hardware and software standpoint are basically one in the same, I don't remember specifically in 2004, but you couldn't get a truck with one and not the other. The switch on the dash, could turn off the traction control, but not necessarily the stabilitrack.    A confusing comment about stabilitrack vs. traction control, the same components serve both operations, but marketing could advertise them as two separate features.    The AWD system is another separate system entirely, in addition to the other two, it uses the same wheel speed inputs but can also vary the transfer case clutch application to direct some power to the front axle, working in conjunction with the traction control to bring wheel speeds together.   The power split will never be greater than 50:50, the same as 4-high. It will never direct MORE power to the front axle than the rear.

      Start-Stop ?

      Not based on the new photos I'm seeing.  Car and Driver posted additional photos that shows an auto stop start button left of the steering wheel.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Car and Driver is reporting wireless CarPlay WILL remain, and they posted several additional photos, including a left knee shot, but the only hard buttons there are e-brake, auto start stop, tailgate and cargo light.  Also definitely looks like High Country and ZR2 get micro fiber on the center of the console lid and the ZR2 possibly also on the seats.
