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?

I just started getting the same squak at 7500 miles, this is bs. Also my radio screen messes up from time to time. Going to bring it to the dealer but I'm sure I'll get no where with them. Also my paint is chipping and they say it's normal wear on the truck from stones, more chips in 2015 then I had in my 2012 which was 3 yrs old!

My brand new 2015 Sierra does this too! I called the dealership and they said, "that's just the truck, nothing we can or will do about it" ARE YOU SERIOUS? this is the first brand new vehicle I have ever bought and I paid a lot for it, and you are telling me you recognize that there is a problem and that you will do NOTHING about it? Come on GM do something about this!

For local driving, just drive around in M5 mode and it will lock out the V4/AFM mode and thus no more V4 to V8 flapper valve squeak. I finally just tried that this week and the shifts seem better too and less clunking.

So I just got a 2015 silverado with the 5.3 V8 in it.. I have 600 miles on it and have been noticing that whenever I give it a quick little tap of acceleration I hear this squeak noise. A quick little "squeak". I also notice it when I am coming to a stop and then hit the gas again theres this squeak. Also when I am turning and hit the gas I hear it. I do not think I am crazy, and it is not a very loud glass shattering squeak but it is there. Has anyone else had this issue or heard of it? Thanks!!

 

I have the squeak also.

2015 GMC Sierra SLT Double Cab

 

I have 2800 miles on my truck, and I love it...except for the squeak...thanks to these forums I identified the problem, wired up a solution to keep the flapper valve open, and no longer have the squeak. Called the dealer to see if this would cause any long term side effects, and he asked that I bring it in to take care of it...very nice and helpful on the phone...but tried to discredit the forum by stating that "you can't trust what you read on the forums"...but the forum correctly identified the problem (on the first try), provided a work around for testing, and proved to be the correct solution, is what I told him. I am sure that they deal with people all day long that read about problem "X", and it doesn't end up being the problem at all...However, I asked my service guy what else it could be now that I don't have a squeak...my appt with the service dept is in an hour...can't wait to hear what they have to say.

I am now on my 3rd exhaust (factory original, the a replacement, now this new one) being installed today. This has been an issue since 3,000 miles. On the first exhaust, I guess the flapper valve would actually remain shut, causing me to get horrible gas mileage as well. The second was only in about 2K miles before it started again. I'm at about 8K miles.

Stevelo and Scout,

 

What was the result of your exhaust system replacements? Any further issue with the chirp?

Hello everyone!

 

I have 2015 Chevy Suburban. 5.3L engine. Recently I faced with annoying thing while driving my truck. When the engine switches from V4 to V8 mode it makes some creaking, squeaking, some sort of short noise which looks like two pieces of metal have been hit of each other. It became very annoying because the engines switches the mode very offen in this year models. Every time the engine mode switches it makes that noise. It already made me feel like I drive horse coach but not brand new 2015 Chevy suburban. I just came to dealership and explained them everything. The guy already told me that it is normal that engine makes a noise. I told him that this is not the noise which is normal for usual engine working condition. I believe that vehicle value of which is about 65000$ shouldn't be working like that. If somebody have ever faced similar issue with their trucks please let me know what do you know about it. Relying only on dealership's mechanical knowledge is not very good experience. Any help from you will be much appreciated. Thanks

Had the same thing. My truck would squeal/chirp when it was in v4. Sound was completely random but would normally occur at lower rpm and would stop once back in v8. I recorded the sound and sent the clip to the dealership and they said it sounded like water in the exhaust???? I don't think so. At that point I already had the adapter valve pinned open which did not make a difference. I decided to replace the exhaust with aftermarket and not go to the dealership every week just to hear they could not replicate the issue. The new exhaust solved the problem.

I had the same squeak. Above 2000 rpms and when you get on the gas after coasting I get a chirp. I clamped it open and it went away like others said but I could hear the drone noise in v4. I will mention to dealer at first oil change. Also I noticed a small weep hole on the bottom of the muffler and the whole area is covered in black soot after 3,000 miles. Is that normal?

      Clean During the Day. Serious Light at Night. Sierra HD 40" PRO Kit

      By mandrautomotive · Posted

      Hey everyone, If you've been looking for a way to add serious lighting to your 2024–2026 GMC Sierra 2500HD or 3500HD without sacrificing the truck's clean factory look, I wanted to share one of our favorite setups. Our 40" PRO Light Bar Kit is designed specifically for the refreshed Sierra HD and mounts behind the grille for a built-in, OEM-style appearance. The kit is completely bolt-on, uses factory mounting points, and doesn't require any cutting or drilling. It's also designed not to interfere with the active grille shutters or radiator airflow. A few highlights:   Fits 2024–2026 GMC Sierra 2500HD & 3500HD Compatible with PRO, SLE, SLT, AT4, Denali, and Ultimate trims Curved 40" PRO LED light bar with advanced TIR optics Available in White + Amber DRL or Yellow + Amber DRL Complete bolt-on installation Lifetime warranty   We also put together a light output video so you can see how the PRO light bar performs in real-world nighttime conditions. It does a great job showing the beam pattern, width, and distance before you decide if it's the right setup for your truck.   Is anyone else running hidden grille lighting on their Sierra HD? We'd love to see your setup! If you have any questions about fitment, installation, or choosing between the white and yellow beam options, feel free to ask. We're always happy to help. __________________________ www.MandRonline.com https://www.instagram.com/mandrautomotive/ M&R LED Light kits - www.MandRonline.com | Burbank CA https://www.youtube.com/@MandRautomotive

      It is, It is the purpose. Just ask that everyone plays nice     On another note. The Terrain and the Equinox are fraternal twins. The one we have is spitting distance from 300K and yes, it has been problematic. Oil consumption is inexcusable. That said, nearly everything else fell into the "Routine Maintenance" bucket or expected failure due to age or accident. The 2015 Generation are very comfortable and they drive dreamy. The six speed is a rockstar save for the cheap failure prone manual automatic physical switch in the shifter. I called it quits after three.   The Ecotec 2.4 I-4 sans the GDI pump junk is nearly bulletproof. The hardest thing we experienced with this SUV was rear wheel alignment. The back axle is a starter kit. Toe bolts need to be installed as do extended range camber bolts. Then you have to find someone not new to the planet that has the skill and patients for the horrendous task of dialing it in. But once set, it is rock solid.    The new ones....yea, I'll pass. I have one CVT and it is enough. They could be a good transmission but someone would have to really care designing it.  Subaru seems to have it down fairly well.

      When most people look at GM's EV strategy, they think it was dumb. Obviously, duh?   In hindsight, there was significant financial risk in becoming obsolete if GM didn't go all-in, like a lot of automakers. Had the EV market taken off, GM would have been left defenseless.   Not all of their $10.9B was lost. Only a part of that was sunk costs like supplier penalties and retooling for EV's they canceled or never made.   A sizable chunk of that was R&D and intellectual property which is still in their back pocket for future EVs.   GM hedged the risk but overspent, but then they pivoted and focused on their bread and butter. Not only did GM still have the financial prowess to do that, they've done so successfully. It shows a lot of resilience and the market rewarded it.
