I’ve currently had my 2019 Silverado for 2 months and it currently has 4500 miles on it. The front brake pads are at 50% and the rear are at 75% . I never slam on the brakes and as I drive it feels as if it’s sliding back and forth .

I wouldn’t rely on the digital info.  Visually check them.   I have 5200 miles and am at 93% and 95%

Chevy truck pads have always impressed me. I got around 70k+ on first set of fronts my last two Silverado's. And when it did come time to change I went right to the dealer for pads instead of auto parts store.  Hopefully its the same for 19's?

OH GOD YES. I am experiencing a slight resistance in my drive. It feels like i was towing something. Almost like the calipers were stuck or squeezing most of the time. So I'm playing around with the buttons and I check my brake life status and at only 3200 miles my brake life is reading at 66%. I took it in to the dealer with this concern and it even dropped to 65% as I drove in the service bay. They tested it and said they didn't feel any abnormality and that maybe the sensors were giving a false reading. Oh and I also brought up that horrible hard shifting everyone else is experiencing (5.3 8spd). And an engine knocking when idling on a cold start. Anyway going back to the brakes, they reset the percentage to 100% said my pads were fine. Ok. Now 1200 miles later I'm down to 69% and that's AFTER they reset it to 100% at the 3200. If they hadn't reset it I'm assuming I'd be at a what? 34% reading?

Bad news. Even after they reset my brake pad life to 100% at 3200 miles. Guess what. It went down to 15% at only 6500 miles. But NOTHING is wrong with it according to the service department. So they swapped out the pad life sensor and reset it again to 100% to shut me up and well, we'll see what happens.

I believe there is a way you can delete this option from your info center.  

Obviously it’s bullshit.  Mine went 10 percent in 1500 miles and I had a Ford Taurus Police Interceptor that went about 90000 before it needed pads!!

I turned mine off under settings in the info center because I had the same problem. It’s as easy as unclicking the box.

There is! I have a 1000 miles on mine after the newest fix and my pads (front and rear) are at 99%.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
