If you’re able, please be sure to see what part(s) numbers are involved in the new fix and share with us. 

 

Thanks

I will forward all the paperwork here once it’s done.

I just spoke with the shop foreman on the phone.

 

I basically told him I didn't want to come in and get the fix until he knew for sure I am getting the latest fix and parts.

 

He said the bulletin he pulled up was just revised on the 5th of August, and the bulletin has apparently been revised 3 times now. 

 

He stated he would reach out to GM and get more information about the part he ordered and to determine if it is indeed the latest part.

 

He didn't have an ETA on when the part would arrive however. 

 

Will keep you guys posted.

I love how these dealers are ordering the parts but don’t know what they are getting. 

 

Every time I want my dealer to order something they first always ask me if I have the part number, you know, because they can’t order anything without a part number. 

 

How are are they ordering these fix kits without part numbers then? ?

Thanks for the reply, great to know and good points. I will see if I can identify the part numbers when I see it again next week. 

Okay. Everyone get ready to have your mind blown...Did a little dealer checking this evening and discovered some interesting things about the GM and AAM front axles.

 

On the dealer lot I checked a LT Z71 Trail boss which had a an AAM front axle (SU4) with the AAJF tag and part number 84605752. This axle displayed the same movement and play as the video by Limelight on page 1. Mind you, I did not drive the truck so no way to say if it makes noise while driving.

 

I MESSED UP! I did not find a GM axle on that Custom Trail boss. What I found was an AAM, AAL8 marked axle.

 

The AAL8 axle IS a GM axle! I found this axle on a Custom Z71 Trail boss 5.3L 6-speed.

 

The tag for the AAL8 axle is not in the same place as the AAJF and AAHD. It is on top of the axle. The "GM" symbol is cast on the driver's side just ahead of the drive shaft. The AAL8 is shaped very different from the AAM AAHD and AAJF axles. The passenger side axle extension is round shaped where as with the AAM it is square shaped.

Also note, the part number for the AAL8 axle is 84659680. This part number is too new to come up in a search. The AAL8 axle still had the same play and movement as all the AAM axles I have tested including my own like Limelight's video shows on page 1. Seems like maybe that movement is unrelated to the noisy jingle or clicking that some are experiencing as the SU5 GM axle is unaffected.

 

In my truck, I have the AAM axle that is denoted as AAHD on the tag and my axle is super-quiet. Of the forum members having problems with the noise in their AAM axles, how many are AAHD and how many are AAJF?

 

Pictures are attached. First pic is the tag from my LT Z71 5.3L 8-speed with the AAM AAHD axle. Second picture is from the LT Z71 Trail Boss 5.3L 8-speed with the AAM AAJF axle. Third picture is axle tag from the Custom Z71 Trail boss 5.3L 6-speed with the GM AAL8 axle. The fourth picture shows the underbody of the AAL8 axle and how it is different from the AAM axles.

I have a Custom with 6 speed, and mine has the SU4 axle

3:42 or 3:23 gearing?

My shop manager said the tip of the axle shaft or whatever is bouncing and hitting something. Sorry, I really didn’t catch all of what he said but it made sense. He said if it was embedded with some type of plastic there would be no noise. My question to him was if that’s the case, why doesn’t it immediately happen and not after so many miles and when warmed up. I could understand when warm because metal expands but why does it take time before symptoms started in our trucks? Some experienced it right away while others it took hundreds to thousands of miles.

I’m supposed to hear back tomorrow, Friday the latest. Trying to have gm, the shop manager, service writer, and engineer all on the same page is a royal pita. Btw I have su4 with 3:23 8 speed. I’ll take a look for the other code tomorrow

I don't know how many times I had to edit this post.

 

The AAL8 axle IS a GM axle. Read my edited post above. I checked the axle and CV shafts on the GM axle and it has all the same play and movement as the AAM axles. Since the GM SU5 axle is not affected, something else is causing the AAM axles to jingle/click.

What’s all this then?

There seemed to be a problem with SU5 and SU8 GM axles? The original date was was from August 2018. As of June 24, 2019, the restriction had been lifted so dealers can work on the axles:

The whole time I was under the impression the SU4 was the only axle with problems.

So just got a call from the dealer and they are stating “the part is in”. I was like what is “the part?” lol

 

He said it’s a ring, seal and a sling?  He said those are the parts for the updated bulletin and is the supposed fix. So it sounds like they don’t want to swap the axle but more or less “fix” the axle so it doesn’t make the annoying noise I guess?  What do you guys think?

I was under the impression that this is the old fix. A forum member posted these pages, see pics below. Unless the part numbers changed, it looks like you are getting the old fix, or maybe, there was never really a new fix to begin with.

 

I suppose let them try the fix but if it doesn’t work, you have more ammo in your pocket to make the case of getting a new axle.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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?
