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.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      By Jay-22-2500 · Posted

      I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through.

      T3's and Ibuprofen. I do have a cryotherapy unit (ice machine) and a lift chair that will allow me to raise my legs above my heart.  There are topicals that I can use once the wound is fully healed.
