Dang, that sucks. I absolutely love the truck, but this is frustrating. I can't believe it but ill have to switch brands soon if theres no fix. Too expensive of a ride to sound like a dump truck.

Have 5k~ on my repair and no issues since. If it comes back I will throw the SU5 assembly in.

What did they replace on yours?

I drive 55 miles each way and I've been running Auto4wd for several months with no real noticeable loss in mpg. I can tell you, in my humble opinion, it's a lot louder than a "jingle" in my truck. It's a loud, ear piercing squeal. Pretty embarrassing driving a new truck down the road, especially when you see all the dogs running for the hills. 

 

I'll be running this way until they find a fix.

 

Here's a link to another thread on Auto4wd. One guy says no reason to use it, but I beg to differ. : )

I'm assuming the answer is no, but just keeping the thread running regardless... any one heard anything new from "GM Engineering" I'm sure they're hard at work doing engineering stuff.

 I called the executive again and she was going to call engineering again but did not call me back yet. As far as I know nothing has changed. Here is her contact information.

Terry, any reply from the Exec Liaison?

 

I just had my 2021 5.3L 4WD RST Z71 in to the dealer and they pulled up PIP5653 to explain the issue and there is nothing they can do.  I understand that the dealership can't do anything if GM Engineering doesn't provide a fix but even they were shocked to learn that this has been under investigation for a solution since April-2019. 

 

After 2.5 years without a solution, I fear that GM won't ever fix this.  If it is purely related to an AAM supplied axle then it would take less than a month to dimension out the AAM axle with comparison to "good" GM axle to find out the difference points.  Then another 3-4 months to design a solution.  Then another 6-8 weeks to make a prototype fix to test as resolving.  Then make the durability testing which eats most of the time with a worst case scenario of 12 months to do.  That puts us at a mass produced solution about a year ago...

 

Anyone working on a class action suit for this issue?  Seems to be a good candidate since there is a specific RPO code that designates 1 of 2 available axles without any resolution.

I just received a email back and she says this " As we discussed, I reached out to our team of Engineers concerning the ringing/chirping noise. I was advised it is still under engineering investigation and there is not an update at this time."

    • So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.
    • My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.
    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • 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.
