Took mine in to the dealership for the second time today for the chirping noise. I had recorded the noise so they could hear it. Dealership said they got my truck to make the noise and GM made them stop the repair because they don’t have a fix for it yet. They told me it was from the front axles so I guess I will have to wait for a  fix.

I have a 2019 gmc sierra at4 5.3  and the dealership recently changed the harmonic balancer on mine under warranty and that fixed the squeaking/ chirping sound it was making 


So the chirping squeaking noise we are being told by GM that “it’s normal” was fixed by replacing the harmonic balancer? How did you get the service department to fix it instead of feeding you some bullshit excuses?

Long story short a good friend of mine who is a mechanic that has worked at the dealership over 15 years checked the truck for me and saw that the balancer was starting to push out and the belt was also starting to tear, he said the balancer wasn't aligned with the other pulleys, so he called up the dealership and talked to the service department and told them what was wrong with it and what needed to be fixed and they checked to make sure it was covered under warranty so they called me told me to take it in and they replaced harmonic balancer put a new bolt, seal and belt under warranty and now it's quiet and no more squeaking/ chirping

21 trail boss with the 6.2l 10 speed 2900mi here. Same issue, squeals all the time at cruising speeds and low RPM.  Also slightly on cold start. I will mention the balancer when I bring it in for its first service! Who thought a squealing noise could bring all these emotions out of so many people. Anger, disappointment, despair. It’s Crazy that gm won’t take it more seriously. I’m already debating if I’ll keep the truck after warranty…got a few years for something to fail I guess

Customer service is no longer a thing these days. Hopefully there will be some aftermarket support that’ll supply parts to silence the squeaky GM crap. Does anyone know if there’s an aftermarket harmonic balancer out there for me to test out?

I'm ready to change the shocks out now hate the bouncy feel everytime you hit bumps in the road. 

I just change my rear shocks and front struts from the stock Ranchos to new bilsteins all around on my 2021 1500 AT4 and it completely changed the ride for the better. No more back end hopping and dont feel bumksas much. I highly recommend them.

Which part number bilstein shocks for the back and the front? I don't know wich ones to get cause on the 5100's one says for trail boss only and the other 5100's say for 4x4 gmc but they have the same 0" to 1"

What year an model truck do you have? I have a 2021 gmc 1500 AT4....I can tell you those parts numbers if you have the same truck? If not you can go bilsteins website and punch in your truck info.....i also called there tech support to confirm the model numbers for front and back. On the front I went with there complete coil/strut kit because they were a better strut and there coil is a little softer thn stock. It rides so nice now.

It's a 2019 gmc sierra at4 but i don't think there's much difference from the suspension then your 2021, I can't wait to change mine out the ride quality sucks

I went with the front strut/coil kit part number 47-309524. And the 24-309516 for rears. Set the circlip on front struts to #3 setting and it leveled the front end almost perfect. Highly recommend them.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
