Be honest, how high was the water you were driving through?

it was pretty wet, I would say 5-7 inches in some parts. It was also pretty muddy with run off form mountains.  I am finding out that the air intake is different on 2020 than the 2019.  I have heard of at least 4 other simaler issues in southern california.

I have a problem with random dents forming on the front quarter panels and also on the hood,  like it is warping.  I also just hit 10K on my LT Trail Boss and the check engine light came on, and also the tail gate sticks every time I release it.  I have had some hard shifting occasionally but that is not so noticeable as of a while now.  Anyone else having issues like this on there 2019 LT Trail Boss?

Haven’t had any trouble lights come on but had trouble with the touch screen freezing and going black. Took dealership 4 attempts of fixing issue before finally putting a new touch screen in it. Mine is also losing antifreeze out of the hose that connects to the reservoir   They replaced the clamp but it still does it. Like there’s a lot of pressure building up and relieving through hose connection.

There should be pressure. That's not an overflow reservoir like in many older cars.......it is essentially the upper tank of the radiator and that is the radiator pressure cap on the top (that's why it is screw-on & marked 20 psi) with high pressure hoses (one in and one out) and contains coolant under pressure which circulates through the plastic see through tank.

Dealer needs to replace the high pressure radiator hose and clamp leading to the tank.

I had the same issue today with the parking brake light coming on and then engine light as well with a rough idle . Brought it to the dealer and they said spark plug wire was loose and now it’s OK they say. Truck only has 62 miles on it. Hoping they’re not full of crap

I'm having the same issue. How is your truck now?

My slip yoke or rear end clunk when I come to a stop was officially deemed “normal” today at the dealership. They resisted so hard that they even handed me a TSB written for idiots who don’t know rear wheel drive drivetrains can make some clunking going into gear. That’s not my problem and I was not happy.

The issue of the engine cutting out when cold will have to be dealt with separately.

I don’t own cars long, so whatever, but I wish I could love this truck. I just don’t. It has significant drivetrain problems and GM seems to be perfectly fine with that. Sad.

I may just break down and finally buy an ugly 4Runner.

Apparently, the issue has been passed down to the 2020 model as well. Just happened to me, 4800 miles, stranded at Home Depot. Battery shows 5 volts. Hooked up a jumper box, it came up to 13.1 volts. The truck started but was powered down and sounded like crap. Had it towed (flat bed) to the dealer. It started right up on arrival. I videoed the shenanigans from the get go, so I’m in a loaner now. We’ll see what happens.

The grass isn't necessarily greener over there. My co-worker's <1 week old $50k 4-Runner has a leaky window. I heard him today on hold for 20 minutes with the dealer before someone from service  picked up the phone.

True, but we’re talking about a window versus the engine and drivetrain not working correctly. I’ll take the window over this crap.

I decided to downsize back to a car because of finance changes due to the pandemic and because I couldn’t fall in love with a vehicle that the dealer refused to care for.

If I were to buy another truck I would probably lean towards another Chevy, but I would pay a lot more attention to how it runs cold and listen for clunking in the rear end. I do hope they restrain themselves and offer basic trim for people who use trucks as trucks.

I’m not your typical forum “I sold my truck because it’s sucks” guy. The Silverado can be the best truck on the road and I think people who don’t have the problems mine had have the best trucks that you can buy for the money in the USA.

Cheers guys. I will be lurking and watching how the Silverado develops. When I recover from the financial shock of the pandemic I hope to have the cash to buy another Silverado.

May be mistaken, but I thought all '19+ T1s came stock with Start-Stop....so how come no Auto-Stop indicator on the face of the tach?

    • I wonder how much carbon is on all those high mileage valves?
    • When I had a Bumper subscription for a few days when I needed to run title histories on cars I was looking at, I decided to look up a few of my old/past vehicles.   My 2015 Silverado was still actively registered and it last sold in 2024 with 160k on the clock. No idea if that's on the original engine but someone's keeping it on the road or the original AFM stuff is still going.   It used 0w20. I remember feeding it Mobil 0w20 AFE for the first 30k of its life on <5k OCI's.     Edit: Just did a nationwide search on Autotrader for 2015-2025 Silverados with 5.3's and sorted by highest mileage first.   357k 352k 292k 291k 290k 277k 271k 268k 266k 259k 256k   High mileage on a modern 5.3 doesn't seem all that uncommon, but that's just searching mostly dealer ads on Autotrader. FB Marketplace has all kinds of high mileage 5.3's going back to 2007    
    • I can't say I have ever heard of someone getting that type of mileage out of a set of tires even though they rotated on a regular basis but without a doubt if the front end gets wear and those tires are no longer able to track straight it scrubs them off, and driving style and road surface make a huge difference as well.    However that is not what prompted me to comment as it was the new tire theme of sitting in storage waiting to be used scenario. I am sure some tires can last for quite a while in storage if its not too warm and out of the sunlight but unfortunately some tires the way they their rubber compound is formulated they can age and dry out even in a reasonably decent storage location. My brother ran into this maybe three years ago when he was looking at the tires that were on his dually truck and a combination of wear on the rear ones and noticing that the front tires had some cracks around the sidewall of the tire not far from the bead but he had replaced only the front ones not long ago with 2 of the remaining 6 he had left from the initial two sets of takeoffs he had all bought at the same time .... 10 years ago ! ( the years fly by, a truck that only gets used a bit to haul a camper during the summer and sits in a shed for a large part of the year ). That second set of 6 tires, two he had put on the front prior like I said and they had very little wear but those cracks were now present. So we go into the shed where the other 4 tires had been stored all this time and every one of them had the same cracks in the sidewalls and so in the end it amounted to throwing away 6 brand new but 10 year old takeoff tires into the dump that he got a deal on at a tire shop because they aged out. They were a Ford factory equipment BFG tire and those tires did not age well compared to some tires I've seen far older then that and did not show that type of aging. True, they always say up here anyway that 7 years is sort of a limit for age by rights, we don't have the intense prolonged heat that many of you have down in the states that just cook tires and depends on where the vehicle sits when not in use. GB, another words maybe had you bought a set of tires to store it would have been fine as long as you used them up fast enough but there are no guarantees when it comes to rubber, tires or of that other type stored in some guys wallets 😆
    • 2020 2500 HD...I had some trouble getting the key into the ignition switch but went in fine after applying some extra effort. Since then, the door chimes when open when the key is out of the ignition. Also, when I lock the doors with the switch on the arm rest, the driver door locks but then unlocks. (I can lock everything fine with the fob) The message on the little screen displays the "Engine Hours"...kinda weird.   I'm guessing something happened to the ignition switch and it thinks the key is still in there. I unplugged the batteries for 20 minutes, no change. There are a number of videos on YouTube but nothing I can find that address this specific issue. Ideas appreciated, thank you.
