It’s definite related to the axles.  I just purchased a 2019 HC z71 package.  From the minute I pulled off the lot, I had that jingle sound from 30mph and up.  Would go away if I put into 4x4 auto.  When I purchased this truck I ordered the GM Trail Boss suspension which also swaps the axles up front , and had to wait for it to be installed.  Well it was done yesterday and guess what, no sound at all in 2x4.   I hope GM does the right thing here and helps everyone out.  

 

I also had both seals on the transfer case replaced because the truck was leaking trans fluid from the transfer case to trans seal, fluid all over the undercarriage and driveway.  It’s been an interesting 500 miles so far.  Love the looks and ride of this truck, it’s way better then my 2017 LTZ.  Let’s just hope it holds together!! 

So I also put a Trailboss kit on my truck a few weeks ago and thought that it fixed the issue with the new axles... I noticed just yesterday that I can hear the noise again BUT it is nowhere near as bad as it was. I don't know what the hell the deal is with this noise but GM needs to figure out a fix.

Okay all you jinglers and janglers...

 

Hot off yesterday's press: 

 

 

This ONLY APPLIES TO TRUCKS WITH RPO CODE SU4 Front Differential, which are the AAM supplied 8" front differential. 

Have you seen any updates on this?

Attached is a letter I received from Gm stating the truck is currently non repairable. This response is from my certified letter to them for last chance to repair.

I still don't think lemon law applies. Your truck drives fine. its not going to work because your truck is fine minus that it has an annoying noise.

Non repair Its a breach of warranty and is covered under the federal Moss Magnuson Federal warranty act.

I'm getting a squealing noise coming from the driver side front axle.  Sounds like metal on metal.  The dealer gave me this bulletin, but there is no fix for it as of now.

I wonder when there will be a fix? I don’t understand how if the in house ones are fine they just don’t replace ours with those? Are they just exclusively using those now on trucks going forward? Is it a big f u to those who already purchased and we will get to you when we get to you? I’m really curious to know what’s going on.

They fix all kinds of rattles under warranty. That letter is there fix unless you force them. They know what’s wrong and at least one way to fix it. It’s a numbers game now, they know very few will push the issue. Those that do will get compensated. Say 10k trucks effected, they know 90 percent will accept the dealers claim nothing is wrong. So that leaves 1000. Of those 80 percent will take the warranty, that leaves 200 to buy back or repair. So what’s cheaper to fix at 3k per truck?  1000 repairs at 3000 ea. Or 200 at 3k? 3 million vs 600k. Of the 600k, they just resell the returned truck with no warranty and reduce there cost to only the difference between their cost to build a new truck vs resale of the returned truck.

So I never really got an answer and the noise is driving me insane. Can I keep my truck in auto? Or will it cause premature wear/damage? Thanks

    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
