Update: Could not take the squeaking any longer, took the truck back with about 6500 miles. Complained about the brakes making noise and they said that they would take another look, one week later called and said all was fixed. Went and pick up my truck and right out of the gate it squeaked again, when I got home I looked at the ticket and they did the same thing as last time. When I got up the next morning after thinking about all night I was steaming. Drove right to the dealer and spoke with the service adviser, he said we could never make it make that noise, I said hop in in we are going for a ride, he got the service manager and the manager and I went for a drive, right off the bat it started squeaking with light pressure on the brakes. The service manager said sounds like it is coming from the rear, my thought was it was coming from the driver rear, when we got back to the dealership, he told the tech, to put new pads on the rear they have to replace both pads and they resurface the rotors what that that means. Morrow to the story NO MORE SQUEAKING BRAKES!!

Mine squeaks almost every time i start driving after its parked overnight. Only takes a few seconds of brake pressure for it to stop

You may be able to isolate which axle is the problem by applying the e-brake to see if the sound starts or stops. If the brake changes the sound, it mean that axle is probably to blame. Anyway, if it were mine, I would probably change the brake pads to a type that are specifically designed to be quiet.

My 2017 2500 does this too. Pretty much right out of the gate, now at 12,000 miles still squeaky. No rhyme or reason when it squeaks some times it does some times it doesn't. I have a video of it squeaking now so I can show the dealer when I bring it in for next oil. I mentioned it the first time and they came back with, "the tech said the pads are like brand new". Well no shit!!

My 2017 started doing this after the first couple weeks. Only with light brake pressure first thing in the morning or after it hasn't been driven for quite a while. Then seems to go away. Only about 2000 miles on it now. Sounds like the rear brakes to me, maybe drivers side?

So I'm having the same issues with (3) 2018 2500hd's and (1) 2015 in my fleet.  Yesterday 1 went metal to metal in 11,364 miles the other in 13,472 and both on the Left front inner pad.  After inspecting & Lu ricating the caliper slides & replacing the rotors and pads I noticed the left side(drivers side) seems to hang up slighlty more than the other side. I test drove it and broke in the pads to the rotors gently then turned it over to be driven by its user.  Later that day he informed me of an intermittent squeek from the drivers side.  I used my laser infrared temperature gun and I immediately noticed a 100 degree difference from left to right.   467 left. 359 right.  I dont know why yet but I am thinking GM is aware that something wrong as I dont think im alone on this.  If I figure it out soon I will be sure to share.  If anyone is experiencing the same please share any findings.

We have been seeing that more and more lately on the 2500 and 3500's that are towing heavy trailers and or used in commercial applications. I have personally been involved with three of them so far and it is usually just one side as Rdelfleet has said.GM has us changing the caliper and brake hose on the side with abnormal wear or brake temps.Of course a pad replacement and a rotor refinish and a thorough cleaning and lubrication of the caliper slides. Haven't seen one come back after doing this.

Mine is at 30,000 miles and it’s been squeaking since day one. I was hoping it would fix itself but then realized there’s just something I have to live with with an $80k truck.

The 11 and newer HD's generally have excellent brakes (in contrast with the prior gen chassis).

 

I've had no noise from this on the previous LML.

 

As posted above, I have seen other threads about unusually short brake life and pulling to one side. 

eventually determined that there were some calipers machined wrong resulting in not floating on pins correctly -- resulting in excessive wear on one pad. 

 

If you got a noisy one it might be a good idea to get it looked at. 

 

I'd expect it's not one of those 'gotta live with it' things.

I'd be interested to know if turning the rotors and replacing the pads has any lasting affect. Did all that on mine I got maybe 1000 miles on it before it came back with a vengance. Light pressure on a high moisture day can be embaressing. I'm with EXSlider, not something I want with a truck in this price range. The dealerships aren't much help. I registered this complaint with every layer of GM I could get to listen and never once got anything beyond your bussiness is important to us. It's deffinantly moisture related and I've quieted the sqeak by dressing the edge of the pads and contact points of the caliper with a dremel tool, applying lube to all contact points and applying a coat of antiseize to the back of each pad. No noise until the antiseize washes off and then a light chirp. I've been reapplying the antisieze every other service interval. I'm still open to suggestions if anyone finds a permanent fix.

Try a new caliper on that brake, it may not be seating quite flush, straight, on the rotor, due to machining problems on the offending caliper.

 

 

I think I'll quit grumbling about my squeaky leaf spring, can't hear it driving, just getting in and out.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
