I’m at 8k miles and 25% front 55% rear. Truck is in the shop for differential jingle. While that’s being fixed I asked about the brake issue without knowing there’s a fix out. Hopefully they see there’s a fix for it

There IS a sensor on these, it’s not just calculated by driving style. They use resistance wires built into pads that the truck reads. I have heard others saying the system doesn’t seem to be all that

Wow. A sensor? I stand corrected. That is crazy. Maybe that is why the calipers are bigger on the T1s? I am sure everything will be twice as expensive to replace. I would rather have adjustable

Just examine them like a normal human would and turn off that stupid function. I would think people do a proper inspection of their vehicle from time to time, rather than waiting for electronic system

My dealer confirmed that the TSB applies to my 2019 AT4 and is running the software update.

For other reasons, u won't have it back today, but just updating the thread.

Do you have to go to the dealer to get the software update to show the correct % of brake pad life or is this an over the air thing as well?

Actually he stated that the dealer did it.  It wasn't clear if it could be done over the air like like some of the other updates that were applied.

I'm actually not even sure why this is being discussed.  It's safe to assume that 99% of software changes have to be done by a dealer and not OTA.  Just assume that.

 

We're not trying to get an update to the Weather app, c'mon people.

I'm having the update done on Tuesday when I take my truck in for the leaking back window fix.  Hopefully the new software update correctly addresses this annoyance.

Not so sure any more... my truck just did an OTA update this morning. Took like 10 minutes. A message came on my screen telling me it needed to run and to leave the truck parked for a bit. Not sure exactly what it fixed, some kind of bug fixes. Probably just infotainment stuff, but not sure where you draw the line any more between the infotainment and the rest of the vehicle systems.

It's things that don't truly matter.  Apps and such like navigation, weather, radios, etc. 

 

You aren't getting updates to critical systems or monitoring OTA.

Apparently, I have one of the few Brake Pad Life sensors that appear to be working correctly from day 1!Brake Pad Life

Honestly, that's what's most weird about this.  I'm not sure how this wouldn't just be wrong for everyone, all or nothing kind of a thing.

 

Must mean they broke it midway through at some point.

74% after 31,000 miles?? That doesn’t seem right either ?

If they are highway miles (and me thinks they were for 31k on a 2019 truck) then that's about right.  I drive about 36k miles a year, and on my last truck I traded it in at 90k miles and the pads were still fine.

Correct, they were mostly highway miles.  Truck is ~11 months old!

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
