Dilemma....

 

I have the effected front end (I verified the RPO codes with my build sheet). If I go under the truck I can move the CV driveshaft just like the one in the video.

 

My dilemma is that my truck has never made a peep. No jingle, no clanking...nothing. I've got 14,500 miles on it. However, I worry that 1) it will start making noises at some point and 2) that the slop/play in the shaft can't be good for the drivetrain longevity.

 

Should I ask my dealer to fix and how should I go about it? I would like to read the bulletin. If anybody has it please post.

According to the service manager at my dealership, GM has a bulletin out for a fix for the jingle. They are replacing seals and rings in the front as well as the driveshaft. Parts are on their way from Michigan. He said they got notified last night about the fix! 

 

Do you have the bulletin number or some "key words" ie, jingle, clang, etc,  that will assist my service writer in finding this bulletin?

Same axle, same movement and same lack of noise. I’ll get it fixed, but wait awhile for the tech to ge fluent in the repair.

If you’re not hearing anything then I don’t see why you wouldn’t at least wait until some of the other guys here report back that are going forward with the repair to make sure this is going to do it. I doubt waiting 2-3 weeks is going to take that much more away from the longevity than your mileage already might have. I hope that makes some sort of sense, in addition to what was pointed out about the techs getting familiar with the repairs.

 

Just think about what all has been done with the clunking on the 8 speed tranny up to this point & GM is basically still playing a guessing game (or just plain playing dumb) with all that crap.

I totally agree with the waiting thing. I've been following this thread since it's inception but haven't posted until a fix was in simply because I didn't have any of the same symptoms you guys have had.

 

I'm just worried that if I bring it in there without it making noise GM is not going to approve a warranty repair. That's why I'm curious to read the actual wording of the TSB.

I understand. My dealership is pretty good about honoring the bulletins. It should mention the specific axle RPO (SU4) and for my dealer that would probably be enough for them to fix it. I would think the play in it alone would be enough.

Anyone have their truck fixed yet? 

 

How long did the repair take? Did it work? Does the axle/differential connection feel solid (not move) in 2WD?

My dealership was not allowed to order my parts to fix it because I had filed a complaint with the BBB. Irony at its finest. I’ve had transmission problems as well as lifters collapsing and a minor seat rattle. Wanted a buyback but have been turned down twice. If I was GM I wouldn’t want to buy my truck back either. I have zero confidence in GM taking care of their customers. This purchase has been a nightmare

So now they wont fix it all?  Do you have to wait until the BBB claim is over?  what happens if the truck has some sort of failure that leaves it undriveable?

That is against the law, even if you have a lawyer hired and pursuing Lemon Law, they still have to fix the truck, especially if a fix becomes available like this.  I would take all of this and go get a good Lemon Law lawyer and you'll be squared away.

I have been in touch with an attorney and I guess I'm hoping GM will make it right without having to go that route.  I more than have enough prerequisites to go the lemon law way and I can't figure why GM wouldn't just get me a new truck instead of turning me against them and losing a customer.  Now I just want my money back and get out of my loan with GM.  I loved all my Silverados but will most likely never buy another one.

Do you know what the parts consist of?

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      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.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      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?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      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.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.
