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?

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
