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?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
