I had my front diff replaced and after about 1000km the noise is back. I am so unbelievably frustrated. I don't know what to do next.

When did you have the work done for differential replacement??  Just wondering if they used new engineered parts for the fix or the old fix which does nothing.

Posted

They replaced the differential about 3 weeks ago. Apparently it was the newly engineered version but it appears that's not the case. I still have an open case with GM Canada. I'll be calling them next week and requesting a new truck.

Good to know I have the same issue but all the dealer ever tells me is they are waiting for parts. I have an open case with GM currently.

Been two months. Still waiting on GM to finalize my lemon case. Taking way longer than this process should.

GM sucks!  They just wait and play games hoping that you’ll get impatient enough to settle for whatever bread crumb they give you.

This is my second lemon in two years. If I wouldn’t loose so much equity in the truck I would go with a different brand.

I hear ya with that. I came from a lemon ford only to have a lemon Chevy. I decided to take cash settlement and keep the truck. Will probably trade it in in a year or two. I do like the Chevy better than the ford but I should have never bought the first year. I’ll give it a couple years to work it out

Had my truck in at the dealer today. They were told to replace the stub shaft again. It was replaced already last year and I just had a complete diff replaced. Of course there are no parts available and they don't have any kind of ETA as to when they might be. I will be calling GM daily until I am offered a buyback. It's been a year with this same noise, I am beyond fed up.

So I called the dealer and they told me the parts are in to fix the cv axle noise.  I asked what parts where they planning to replace exactly ( I know what needs replacing), the service advisor said there was a bunch of parts in a tote that have not been unpacked yet so he did not know.  I am not confident the new parts will fix it considering what I read on this forum but I guess they have to give it a try.   Does anyone have any suggestions when I get to the dealer what specifics I should ask them?  Should they be replacing the stub shaft also?  Will they drain the old diff fluid out and replace or does this not need to happen?  Any info is appreciated.

Question for the thread... are the GMC Sierras having this issue as well? I would think so but I don’t recall seeing anyone with a GMC in this thread with this issue. Could be wrong

Posted

I have a 2019 GMC Sierra Elevation edition and I had this issue.  They replaced parts yesterday so I am waiting to see if it is really fixed or if it will show back up in a few hundred miles. I guess it is wait and see.

Sun runner. Please keep us updated. They are trying to fix mine, but I am completely fed up. Holding out for the moment.

Several dealerships are refusing to take them in on trade here, one toyota dealership is out of tundras here and lot full of gms. Dump it whichever way you can.

So took my truck in today for the differential noise. Received a call saying gm will not even allow them to order the parts for the repair. Does this sound correct to anyone?

    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that. 
    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
