Did you ever figure out the root cause? Was it a geometry issue?

Not sure if is geometry or the supplier. While having my arbitration with the lawyer the BBB chose to mediate my case with GM asked the guy from GM on speaker phone if they had a real fix for it or not and if yes when. The GM guy said they do not have a permanent fix and said they had no time frame to give as to when they would but GM engineering was aware of the issue and would “eventually” come up with a permanent repair. At that time the lawyer looked up at me and rolled his eyes and at that moment I new I was going to win the case. My feeling is it was a supplier issue not making a good part or maybe the parts were out of GM spec.

So my lawyer calls me on Wednesday to go over some things with me about my case. Says he hasn’t heard from gm yet so they are reaching out to them. Friday, I get a call from my dealership saying the shop manager has been in touch with an engineer and they had parts to fix my front differential. I find that kind of weird I get a call two days later. Anyway, I doubt it’ll fix it since I’ve had everything done including new differentials and nothing has fixed it. Figured sure I would have more work done. I also have the two recalls and my crappy blacked out radio they could attack again. It’ll only help my case. I’ll keep you posted with the latest

GM did the same thing to me in October said they had new parts available. The dealer said the “new” parts GM sent were exactly the same part numbers as the parts they put in in July that didn’t fix the issue at all.  So the dealer refused to install them. Don’t hold your breath.

Hahahaha. Believe me, I’m definitely not holding my breath on any fixes with gm. So far every issue I’ve had with my truck has not been fixed with exception of brake pad life monitor that was fixed with software. I’ve continued to have all the issues plus new ones. Can’t wait to get rid of it and hopefully have luck with a new one

I'm with you...parts have been ordered for the axle issue since October.  I have zero confidence the parts will fix the issue if and when they do come in. meanwhile I'm at 5000 miles and the junk transmission only seems to be getting worse. Bad vibration and shutter now, along with hesitation,surging, hard down shifting and slamming into gear. Dealerships says it has the new transmission fluid in it and they don't feel nothing? Whatever.... I have not heard from my GM advisor since October, they could careless. very poor customer service. Well at least the thing has been starting for me now it must have fixed itself because they could not find a cause for that issue.I have been GM truck owner my entire life. This is junk.

Does anyone have, or know someone who has the su4 axle with a few miles racked up that does NOT have the jingle. In other words, if we have the su4 axle, do we need to expect it to happen sooner or later, or are some doing fine. Maybe there was a bad run or batch while other su4’s are not affected. No problems with mine, but I don’t have many miles yet either.

Read my review on the 2020 here, It’s definitely a better and improved version for 2020. Good luck to all of you fellow jinglers on getting a resolution. It’s to bad that GM has turned into such  shitty pricks being such a non customer friendly Company now. No one should have to fight a manufacturer to get a vehicle fixed under warranty. If I can help or advise any of you guys through the repurchase process please PM me.

The dealership did the newest fix on my truck about a month ago for the jingle fix. They did the other fix replacing the stub shaft which didn't work. They said there was a difference in the new stub shaft this time compared to the other one. So far after over a month there is no jingle anymore. Seems like the jingle noise was worse when the weather was hot, so it may be spring or summer if I know it worked for sure.

Absolutely more noticeable in warmer weather like 75-80 degrees.

Well in your case if you are upside down if you go with a buyback only you will end up owing the balance of your loan and 100% of the sales taxes on what ever you buy to replace it with. In your case ask for a replacement you can replace it with anything Chevrolet sells as long as it’s at least the same Msrp or higher. You pay only the difference if higher. They will then do a substitution of collateral (trade titles) on your loan with your lender and this way you stay where you are and won’t have to pay the upside down loan off. The way they choose to handle it also depends on your States Lemon Law rules. Message me if you need more.

ILSilverado  if you do a replacement do you have to use same dealer??  can you make changes to truck for replacement such as 2 wheel drive instead of the 4 thats a lemon??  also how about accessories from sun roof to without  i think here in california that they pay the loan outrite could ne3ed to get better clarification  anyway glad you are happy so far with your new ride congrats

I have been following this thread and had posted a lot of information here last summer. I have the SU4 axle and my truck now has just under 11,000 miles with no jingle issue. My truck was made late November 2018, is an LT 5.3L. I bought it in April 2019 and have driven in conditions that range from 10 degrees to 90 degrees in Michigan and hadn’t noticed even the slightest jingle.

Well most likely you will have to do the exchange at the selling Dealer but not always again it’s very dependent on your states lemon law rules. If you do an exchange vehicle it must be of equal or more value of the original trucks sticker. They usually go sticker $ to sticker $ value. If the replacement is say $500 more well you will pay the $500 difference. Google your states lemon law and study it good so you familiarize your self with the process. The loan will just be switched to the new vehicle known as a substitution of collateral.

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • 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?
