Nice truck , I have the exact same 1 , Love the truck put the tranny is a big disappointment , been in once for a relearn and update the ECM/TCM with 1400 miles on it , 1-2 hard shift 2-3 shudder , the thing downshifts like a manual trans when coming too a stop , the whole learn - re learn bit from dealers is such bullshit ! this is my first gm product and may be the last ............

- Question about torque specs and possible reason for noise
  
  By JJ_Denali2020 · Posted 15 minutes ago
  
  I have been chasing a tick coming from my 2020 Sierra 1500 for a while, after further research I’ve narrowed it down to either rust or dirt in between the hub and rotors or a loose subframe bolt. Does anyone know the torque specs for the subframe and everything that attaches to it as well? Any information will be extremely helpful. For reference i will put the link to a video of the noise i am hearing.

  Man, I would report that to the IIHS. Sounds like a major safety concern and buying aftermarket rims shouldn't be the solution.

  I use Kroger’s the most. Their office is right at the pump. It’s rare the receipt doesn’t work at the pump. But there’s always the thank you at the end.

  I have a 2018 k3500LTZ with aluminum factory wheels. 18 inch tires. The lug nuts loosen up after a tire rotation and I am have retorque the nuts about every 100 miles. They are torqued to 140 ft lbs. The Chevrolet dealer says they have 11 K3500's doing this. They do not have a fix. The have recommended getting new wheels. All the trucks that are having an issue have the same factory polished aluminum wheel. GM part number 84397983. I am wondering if any one else is having this issue ? I have 3 duramax trucks, 2009, 2018 and a 2022. The 2018 is the only one with a problem so far. Can anyone recommend an aftermarket 18 inch wheel ?
