I took my truck to the dealership, I told them what was happening and they did a re-calibration of the sensors, took maybe 30 min. All is good now.

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

Another perfect example of the half-baked gimmicks GM is putting into these vehicles.

Because they dont know how to read/want to get warranty work out of the way so they can do work that actually earns them money? Its not a dealer issue its an industry issue. Funny thing is, my buddy had the same thing except they DID reset his pad life when they shouldnt have per the tsb as he had more than 6000 miles

Sounds weird after you calculate it and have tracked it....thanks?

I have a 2019 Silverado LTZ - about 6 weeks old. Mine is right there with ShamrockShooter. 10% for every 1000 miles (front); about 5% rear. Front would be out at 10K miles. I'm at 5,200 now; took it in for first oil change today and asked. They said "they're supposed to be working on a fix" but didn't offer any solution at this time.

Brought mine back in and got it recalibrated, this time it worked...took about a hour.

It's well documented already that this is a known software issue. For the people posting the "me too" posts, just read up.

 

Take it back to the dealer and they will fix for free.

 

Provide the TSB referenced several times in this thread as it doesn't seem like the dealers themselves are very good at searching for this issue if they weren't already made aware.

 

I had mine addressed months ago and I'm still sitting at 96/98 as expected.

I set an appointment for the seatbelt recall and also the brake % issue. I was told my truck is fine and there isn’t an issue (I take it in next Friday I was just scheduling). I’m sorry but 30% at 5200 miles is not ok [emoji2361]

Called and spoke to the advisor after work. He said the bulletin is for a Cadillac and no longer good for the silverados [emoji2361]also started mentioning they would need to check the pad thickness and such to make sure there weren’t any other issues. I was like if they have to do that just leave the thing alone

Soon I won’t have any pad left [emoji23]

He's incorrect. There are a handful of TSB mentioned here. I believe one of them was for Cadillac only.

 

I'm sorry you have a bad dealer/advisor :-(

Well he texted me back and they found it. Only applies to certain vins/plant builds supposedly

It’s going ok next Friday for the seatbelt recall figured I’d get this taken care of

It’s one of those things that was never checked maybe during break in the pads wear more. We lived for years without it, personally I will monitor mine but not freak out it’s kinda like the OLM nice to have but is it accurate.

Case in point on my Camaro in 976 miles on the current oil change my OLM was at 29% this spring when I did the oil change. Head scratcher as the oil looked real good still visually (car only has 1400 miles total). No idea why it dropped so much but I’m not worried about it

The OLM drops over time as well as with mileage

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
