Just got off the phone with Michael Valle (Service Manager) at Gunn GMC/Buick, and they may possibly buy the truck back.  

Ever have the issue corrected?

So dealership said its definitely misaligned and I made an appointment with their body shop for Thursday to get this fixed. They said they would get it done.   Today I had all 4 tires rebala

Mine is off 1/4” in the drivers side and flush on the other. I checked the tire pressure and parked it in my level garage. Took a 4’ level to use as a straight edge and checked both sides. The cab on

Really?  For a body alignment issue that can be corrected?  Wow.

Got the box aligned on my 2019 at4, it had to be moved over half inch from drivers side to passenger side,  looks way better now, iam happy, just the brake squawk noise I get first few minutes when it’s cold , dealer said it’s normally operation , my 2014 didn’t nor did my 2007, 2005, 1999, or the 6 other GM trucks I’ve owned from the 80’s and 70’s,

So today i was at the locale dealership picking up some special order parts. I asked for the parts breakdown on the bed shims/bolts,the gal asked why ? I was in the service department yesterday for the bed alignment problem on my truck. Basically the service department manager told me your shit out of luck you drive it off the lot like that its on you. The parts gal said did you try the other dealer in town,i said ya that will be my next try.Then she started to look for any bulletins on it and guess what [#19-NA-257 ] Pickup Box Out of Alinment  Poped up. So i went back to the service writer and showed him the bulletin, he made a copy and said he would get back to me, so we will see how this turns out. So if your dealing with this BS problem on a 50,000 dollar truck get a copy of this  #19-NA-257   when you head in to the shop to get them to fix it.

Concerning th bed alignment.  It's a 1 hour job  did mine myself to avoid all the BS. Mine is a 2020 GMC Elevation.

There is a plastic guide pin in the front right corner.

Loosen  the six bed bolts until they are almost out. Leave them in so you don't  contact the cab with the bed. This fixes the horizontal  adjustment. You need shims for the vertical. 

Left the front right corner  about an inch take a hacksaw blade just the blade and cut the plastic  guide pin on the top of the shim between the bed and shim..

Drop the bed ,move where  you want tighten it down. Done

Brake pad squeal is a common issue die to the materials used in modern brake pads. Especially ceramic brake pads.

My dealer knew right away how to fix it. Took it in today and problem solved. Tech said a bulletin came out about it last month.

What does your work order say specifically regarding work performed?

Just bought a 2020 Chevy LT Trailboss crew cab and the bed is misaligned exactly like yours. Appear that wasn’t on the quality control checklist. Did you get yours fixed?

Has anyone had any damage done to their truck getting the bed aligned?  Mine is in the shop now and I was told it has to get sent to their body shop.  I’m a little nervous about it.

So who all has had the repair done according to the TSB? Purchased a 2020 Silverado 2 weeks ago and was wondering why things looked off in the drivers side mirror. Lines don’t match up and if I stand behind the truck, the drivers side rear wheel sits in the fender well further than the passengers side rear does. When measuring, drivers side of bed appears to be about 3/4” higher than passengers side. 
 

Took it to dealer this morning and have appt for next week. Also called the dealers body shop, they told me to bring it by and let them look at it. I feel more comfortable with the body shop working on it rather than someone in the service dept.

Just noticed this on my 2020 LTZ. Looks to be the same issue as many on here; driver’s side of bed is sunk in about 1/2” and also about 1/3” high of the “body line” on the cab. 
 

I’m taking it in along with the TSB (thanks for finding this btw) tomorrow or next week. Will report back on how it all goes.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85

      Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.
