Well my new 2020 started making the noise at the 14,000 mark. Has been good until today. GM is a joke. It’s been over a year with no fix for it. Beyond ridiculous.

As far as switching an su4 for su5 axles, I was told that the parts have to match whats on the build sheet.

Seems to me that if GM was looking at saving their reputation, customers and vehicle status, they would pay the lesser of what it would take to fix the vehicle. If they are unable to repair the vehicle by fixing the SU4 axle, it would be cheaper to replace the axle with the SU5 axle that has no issues than to face a barrage of Lemon Law suits. Most of the time, a Lemon Law suit that does not go the customers favor, that customer goes and buys a truck from a different manufacturer.

Yes, every manufacturer will build a vehicle that will have issues. It boils down to what the manufacturer classifies their customers as. Most customers that like new vehicles are like me. All I want is a vehicle that will give me 5-7 years of good service, then I trade it in on another. I am past the age of buying a used vehicle with over 100k miles that might last 2-3 years, costing me more and more money to keep going. So, in my case, in the long run, it is cheaper for me to buy a new or newer vehicle. (PS. I have to buy the wife a new one too, and yes, she happens to like GM also... :) )

 

Sorry for the blah, blah, blah... but this is all in my opinion.

I have a 2020 Denali with the same axle code and it’s build date is March 2020. I guess we will see how it holds up. It has the play I have seen in the videos. I am at 500 miles and it is silent.

Mine started at 4000. I was silent too.....

Concerns are well documented.  Start shipping out SU5 replacement units with a build sheet addendum.

I agree, the solution above (bshort) is the only solution that will make me comfortable/trust this truck. Knowing that I have a known and well documented failure that is waiting to surface is just as bad as having it already surfaced. The fix is a part swap to the axle without the manufacturing defect until a tooling/casting change can be done to the SU4. I have never seen so much play in a front CV axle to differential. I can only imagine with centrifugal force the damage it will do over time rattling around in the differential/ axle housing.

 

Aleigha W. please help with moving this issue forward for us. There are 62 pages of customer issues. I have spent a lot of money as has everyone here on a truck we want to trust and depend on.

Aleigha this has been an on going thing for quite some time. Kind of disappointing that it took this long for involvement. Many of us here have wasted days worth of time, taking off work, missing kids game, you get the point. Myself, as well as many others had multiple repairs and even front axle/diff replacements and still not fixed. Like the last two posts mentioned. The su5 seems to be the fix. I’ve been told by gm reps to just trade it in and take a loss. It amazes me the nerve. I worked hard to afford this truck.

Reached out and was referred somewhere else, as supposedly being in Ca made a difference.  The Ca rep called and was absolutely useless.  Figured I was wasting my time.

I have the SU5 in my 2020 RST and the chirping started at 15,000 miles.

      87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
