I have the SU5 on my 2020 and it’s making the same sound. Was told there was no fix. Beyond ridiculous and embarrassing for GM. 

SU5 axle also, unreal. I have a 2019 RST SU 4 axle I purchased on 6/14/19 I had the axle noise at 400 miles. Also the no start issue.went through two dealerships and two GM advisors.  GM Customer service  advisors are unbelievably terrible. Wont even return calls. Ordered parts for axle in October 2019 after pip was updated several times. Dealer kept spinning me saying stub shaft on back order.finally April 2020 I filed with BBB with a claim and stated how can they make three attempts to repair when they don't provide parts. Two days later a stub shaft arrived at the dealer and GM is calling me everyday. Never would call be back before. I had the parts replaced on June 14 ,2020  1 year after purchase. I have 1000 miles on it in very hot temps and no noise as of yet but not confident it will remain quiet. I still am waiting on back ordered parts for my no start issue that is a whole other story. I am a diehard GM guy I have purchased 6 new silverado and 2 new impala in the last 20 years .GM treats you like garbage. Nobody should have to go through this.buying the wife a new SUV this summer no way in hell will I drive into a GM dealership to buy one. it appears with both SU 4 and SU 5 axles both making noise I will be not driving another new silverado in 2022 when I buy a new truck. Good luck to you I know what your going through.

Do you have the part number for this stub shaft?

Well funny you should ask that...when I received my truck back after repair the work order had stated they replaced a Ring,Seal,and Slinger and all had  part numbers.  I asked

What about the stub shaft that was back ordered for six months. The service manager told me we put that in the truck but we received it from a different supplier? So did they actually put a shaft in? I told you it's keeps getting better. Document everything I have 8 pages of documentation on everything that has happened with this truck in the last year. BBB did take my claim but said thay had to make 3 attempts to fix it .I think they tell you parts are on back order to avoid the attempts to fix it. Because they know they do not have the fix. A GM service advisor did tell me back in October they did not have a fix at that time.

Curious to know if this is a known issue for the 2500 and 3500 HD's.... considering a 2500 for my next truck if they don't get this crap fixed... or change brands (although I said I would never do)

Got a call today from my lawyer. They said gm is not doing buybacks in ny because of low stock and production. They’ll either repurchase my truck or I take a cash settlement and keep the truck.

Everyone that is trying to get GM to buy back their trucks... is it solely because of this jingle issue or is it because of multiple issues.

Multiple issues here too. Jingle noise, excessive oil burn, lifter tap.

I was at the dealership last week for this CV axle noise for the 2nd time since the dealership did not document this issue in their system the 1st time I brought it in.   The dealer told me they are still waiting for parts to fix this problem.  I have been in contact with GM customer care and still waiting on a response.

Did you have any other issues besides the Front Diff jingle?

Correction my buyback was solely for the jingle. And yes I was awarded a new truck or money back.

Consider getting the 3.0L Diesel I absolutely love mine. No jingle whatsoever.

    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
