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?

They replaced mine once but the rattle came back. So a new one is on order. Supposedly gm made changes recently to help fix the problem. Fingers crossed. If not I will just go back to clamping it open and deal with the slightly louder v4 noise.

My 16 has just under 6k miles and has developed the squeak. Anyone with this issue shouldn't be told to accept it as "normal".

I was able to get the actual tsb on safercar.gov but you had to look through a 100 or so pdfs as the didn't really let you search or sort very well.

I had the squeak on and off the gas in my 2017 1500. Started at 5k miles. The dealership just replaced the exhaust with a new one but it has no valve at all. Needless to say the noise is gone.

If it has no flapper valve you will get a bad "drone" sound when you cruise along in V4 mode (some have compared it to a helicopter hovering over your tailgate). Keep an eye on it and let us know how it goes.

This is a picture of the one they installed under warranty. I put about 500 miles on it and did not notice any drone noise in V4 mode.

Absolutely a bulletin on this concern. I've replaced tons of these exhaust systems for this problem. You don't have to bring them anything, they should be smart enough to search Service Information and find it. Make them do the leg work.

That is behind the muffler where the square flapper used to be. Look in front of the muffler. If they installed the new style you will have a round flapper before the inlet to the muffler.

See that. You learn something new every day. I just climbed under it and it's in the front.

Took my 2014 Silverado 1500 into the dealership for this issue. Told them what I have read on this blog. The representative said that his son had the same issue with his 14. Got a call hours later from a different rep and they said they couldn't duplicate the issue. I asked if I could drive and show a mechanic what I am talking about and they said no. That in itself is rediculous! I then went to Home Depot and spent $1.18 on the hardware listed in links above. From the second I started the truck I knew the issue was fixed. Before when you started it would give that same squeak. Went for a drive around the neighborhood and created the same perimeters where I would hear the noise. And to no surprise the noise was gone. I recommend this as a fix.

 

However, my question is has anyone experienced any issue with doing this. Also would you consider this a permanent or temporary fix?

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
