I have an SU4 axle that seems to be preforming correctly. So far 3500 miles and no noises or any other issues. I’ve never had to take it in, it’s been fine since day one.

 

After examining many SU4 axles and SU5 axles, I’ve determined that the issue is internal to the differential. GM technicians coming out for a look is a waste of time in my opinion. What GM needs to do is take one of these trucks back to the Tech Center in Warren, MI and perform a thorough analysis of the issue. 

 

Many forum members and some dealer Techs think the issue is the stub shaft being too long. Unfortunately, GM hasn’t manufactured a new part to address this yet. GM dealers can only do so much; they replace parts with new ones and that’s it. This is where is would be handy for GM dealers to have a machinist that could modify the part. If all that’s wrong is the stub shaft is 1/16 to 1/8 too long, a machinist could take care of that easily. Otherwise, we will be waiting a while for GM to make a new a new part.

I'll be waiting on the three repair attempts and that's all. After three failed attempts it's time for GM to buy the truck back  via a lemon law claim - these things cost too much to put up with this nonsense.

It seems most of the problem axles on here are silverados, i wonder if most of the su4 axles were sent to chevy and the su5 to gmc.  Does anyone here with a sierra have this problem or su4?

Well i just got my build sheet  sierra build date 6/19 and it has the su4, so there goes that theory.  Cant comment on the noise, just got the truck.

No sure but maybe a ray of hope. My dealer had me bring my truck in Friday and one tech road with me to verify the noise. I left my truck and they gave me a new trail boss for the weekend. I didn't complain about that. Service manager drove it today and heard the noise also. They opened a new claim with GM and they said put a new differential in. They ordered the new parts but who knows when they will get them with the strike going on. The guy in service said the part numbers are all different than the ones they put in for the supposed fix that they did already. Maybe just maybe they have something figured out.

I've had mine in twice now to two different dealerships for this issue and was told there was nothing wrong even after playing the second dealership (my selling dealer) a clear as day audio recording. They said that they "can't fix it if they can't reproduce the sound". I told them that the truck has to be driven between 50 and 100km before the sound will start but the truck never left the lot. Apparently they are taking it for a long drive tomorrow, I will be resetting the trip when I drop it off to be sure. Very little effort on their part to research the issue, I'm feeling quite frustrated already. I have attached an audio file where you can hear the noise.

hi guys and gals well my truck went back today so the service manager could drive it once again could not believe that it wasnt fixed when they gave it the stub shaft and seals , rings so he heard it again and said that he would talk to gm and see what they wanted him to do  this guy commutes about 50 miles 1 way to work and he said there is no way he would be able to stand that noise so he promises me he will get to the bottom of it might take him a day or 2 to get back to me

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
