My service writer wasn’t in this morning and when I asked the writer helping he looked confused. He said there was an order made for parts but didn’t have the list and that the tech knows the list of parts. I asked for my service writer to give me a call when he can.

The one I talked to said it was just an axle shaft.

I stopped in today and talked to Mark, my service writer, and gave him the PIP5653A/B bulletin number and he looked it up and it had the part numbers to fix it. He ordered the parts and he'll contact me when they get them in and schedule my pickup in for the repair. I don't have a list of what parts are needed for the repair, but they did mention one being an Axle Shaft.

I just got an email from onstar saying there was an issue with my engine and transmission system but my truck was dropped off yesterday at the dealership. I wonder what it could be and how I could find out without having to call the dealership.

 

 

Edit: called onstar and they said they couldn’t find anything and would have to other run a diagnostic with the truck on(which I can’t do right now) or contact my dealership. So looks like I’ll have to wait and see

I’ve had transmission problems, differential noises, lifters collapsing and seat rattles. I’ve had problems since the second week I owned it and GM called me today and told me they were “reviewing” my case still. It’s been 2 months that I’ve a case opened with them. They keep putting me off hoping I’ll go away. I can’t believe the runaround I’ve been given.  It’s almost too ridiculous to be true.

Read my thread. Trust me man it gets worse. Customer service was screening my calls and would not pick up when I called. TRASH service. 

 

Get a lawyer and go the lemon law route. If you don't they will continue to walk all over you and offer no help.

Part that sucks is with weird noises and issues the truck is worthless for a trade in. I tried to trade mine in for a tundra. As soon as they went to appraise the truck( had been sitting for a while we were looking and test driving) they heard the engine knock on cold start and told me they don't want the truck. I literally have a 45k boat anchor that is worthless.  I could be dishonest and have them appraise the truck right away but why should another dealer have to suffer. As soon as someone goes to test drive it especially after sitting is going to hear motor noise.

I am hearing that the axle is related to the issue but the root cause isn’t the axle. The axle attaches to a stubbed shaft which goes in the front diff. The stubbed shaft is like 1/8 of an inch too long. They have replaced the stub shaft and  so far no noise. I will update with a bulletin number on Monday  if I can get it. Hope this helps. It’s a $300 repair under warranty.

So dealer called and said truck is ready for pick up and all is fixed. I had left the motofab level lift kit in the truck and asked them to install it while it’s there. Well when I asked about it just now they said they will not install it in fear it will cause problems to the parts they just installed and to other components. Do they not have faith in the fix?

Is that what you guys are hearing?

 

My Trail Boss is doing this.

 

According to my build sheet I do have the SU4 axle. Wonder if mine needs this repair also?

 

Build date 2/16/19

Can't speak for others but your sound seems to be louder than the odd tink tink tink sound I was hearing on the loaner which I was driving and suspect was this jingle jingle sound.  It definitely went away in 4WD.  I never noticed the sound you've recorded (if I'm hearing this right on my phone) - I could hear it in the cab without windows down at speed.

 

IMO, if you read back at the beginning of this thread & see the video posted on imgur - reach under there & grab that bell housing & it slides back & forth then you've probably got the issue & it might not have manifested just yet.  The sound I heard reminded me of very very small rocks (think sand like but fine rocks) pinging underneath - would go away as soon as put in 4WD and come right back in 2WD.

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
