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

It’s fine, a little extra wear and tear, a little hit to MPG but you won’t hurt anything.

Thanks. I know it hurts the mpgs a little but wasn’t sure if that’s it. I assume it’s on 2wd still unless it detects slip?

I am starting to lose confidence in GM providing a fix for this. It seems like they would have a fix by now.

I too am having the same issue, just got back from the dealership and they basically said that GM engineering is working on the issue to provide a fix. if anyone out there hears from their ship that GM finally came up with the fix, can you please post here and let us know. truck was 53k and now we have to wait god knows how long for a fix.

Same thing here. They told me engineering is working on a fix. I asked how long and they say they would expect soon. This was last Friday.

Got a call from my dealership last week and they say they have a fix, GM has ordered the parts and they will let me know when to bring my truck in. Don't know what  parts were ordered, but when I find out I will let you know.  Hope it works this time

Yes please do. Very curious to figure out why they are doing this.

You should not drive it on dry pavement in Auto so im told. I got a call from GM yesterday. My arbitration is close and GM is trying to settle.

Then why is auto available. If you were constantly slipping, you should already be in 4wd. Auto would be scenarios where it may be needed, but not 100% of the time. IE: dry and wet/slop snow.

 

alot  easier on those axles in slow speed, wet, turning situations as well.

 

I'm on my third GM vehicle and used auto4 very frequently in all of them, 200k+ miles. Did not have an issue with either drivetrain

AUTOMATIC 4 HI
If road conditions frequently alternate between high- and low-traction areas, consider using the “AUTO” setting found on select GMC electronic transfer cases. This setting allows your GMC to automatically distribute torque to the front axle by anticipating the need for additional traction.  Shifting into “auto” engages the front axle, but the transfer case sends power primarily to the rear wheels in normal conditions and the clutches modulate torque forward to provide stability and enhance traction to the vehicle.  Although not always optimal for efficiency and wear of your vehicle 4wd driveline, AUTOMATIC 4 HI can be used on any road condition without risk of damaging your vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
