Radio replaced because it keeps blacking out. It’s happening again. Steering column replaced because of loud noise. That’s also happening again. My brakes vibrate and clunk like the abs is kicking in. It’s very strange. Lastly, I’m starting to get this loud noise when my ac is on. Happens randomly but when it does it sounds like a plane is flying over and I could feel it throughout the truck. That just started.

Wow that sucks man!

 

You definitely got a lemon and GM needs to make it right.

Anyone that's had the "fix" done and had to go back, have any updates yet?

 

Mine is in the shop now. I sent the foreman an e-mail asking to see if they could replace my AAM axle for the GM made one, but no response yet.

 

They've had the truck all day yesterday and today and no update yet.

Is there a part number for the GM axle that someone could get off their truck? 

 

I think i have the AAM axle but have to co firm when I get my RPO codes. I crawled under the truck and I see a tag on the axle that says AAHD with part number 84557635. At this point I am assuming AAHD translates somehow to AAM.

 

i grabbed the drivers CV and while I couldn’t get and lateral movement (in and out) I was able to shake it up and down and side to side movement and there is a clicking.

By the way a GM PiP is NOT the same as a TSB. The PIP only tells the service department they are aware of the problem and a fix is pending. A TSB is a bulletin telling Dealers a fix is finalized and in place. So If there is a TSB on this issue who has the number.?

Interesting. I did not know that. Maybe an actual TSB isn't out yet then?

Ok so got an update. The SA at the dealership said that GM knows of the “new fix” and that the part is completely out of stock. They are making new ones and can take up to a month for my dealer to get it in. He ordered for me but said they are sure this will fix it. I asked if it was the axle and he said he didn’t know because when he put in the order the picture was blank and description lol. 

 

Hopefully this is the fix we’ve all been waiting for. I decided to get my truck back and wait for the part since I’ve only enjoyed it two days. 

Hope this helps you guys.

Do have the part(s) info you could share?

 

i got the RPO codes from my dealer today and sure as luck, I do have the SU4 front. I have a feeling the rattle I have is only the beginning of what most of you all have experienced already. I only have 2600 miles on my truck and it was a 11/2018 production. Everything on the truck has been solid so far except for this axle problem.

 Unfortunately not. I tried but all he said was GM doesn’t have it and won’t for a little while. Haven’t checked my build sheet but I’m sure it’s an SU4.  As soon as they call me that the part is in I’ll let you guys know.   Oddly enough mine was built 06/19 but you’d think with all these issues, they would've fix it moving forward but I guess not.

Thanks for the info. I bring mine truck in next week so can listen to the Noise. I'm hoping they have a fix by the October im planning a 2500 trip and don't want to listen to this annoying jingle for the trip.

Sounds good. Much appreciated.

 

The diversity among production dates just shows that there is a major defect with the way AAM is producing these axles. I only hope that the “fix” is an actual fix this time and not just another patch deal. 

 

Up up until this point, the only real fix would be having the AAM axle swapped for a GM axle. GM doesn’t want to go this route because one, the RPO codes would have to be swapped from SU4 to SU5 (not even sure if this is possible in the system) and two, all production of AAM axles would have to stop and only GM axles used for current production which would be a logistical nightmare.

 

On a side note, I looked up the cost on a replacement AAM front axle, which is probably similar to a GM axle (I don’t have the part number for a GM axle). It’s $1750 msrp and $1080 wholesale through GMpartsdirect and others. If worse came to worse, I’d be buying a new GM axle if this new fix doesn’t work.

Might want to check that date again...11/2019 hasn’t arrived yet.

 

If you want a build sheet with all RPO codes, you can email [email protected] & request the build sheet for your VIN. I did this on a weekday & had a reply in a few hours.

What exactly is the new fix for the noise? Does anyone know? Just read this after picking mine up today from having the latest fix done, which did nothing. 

Posted (edited)

Well...... Not fixed.

 

So I went to go pickup my truck and was told that they ordered the axle but its back-ordered.

 

I was told that they will be replacing it with another AAM made axle because that's all GM will authorize.

 

They are supposed to call me when the axle is in to complete the repair.

 

I was able to get a copy of the bulletin. I will post it here.

 

Thinking of call GM and starting a case with them. See if I can get them to apply the new fix.

 

I have done multiple visits now and getting tired of having to go through this on a brand new vehicle.

    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • 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.
    • Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken. 
    • Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
