they extended the mileage on the extended warranty to 60000 miles I believe.

 

Make sure you tell them the brake pedal is "very hard" to depress at times, and how loud the pump has become.

 warranty on them for 6 years from in service date the of truck or 72,000 miles

ok the special coverage is for a faulty vacuum pump which is a mechanical pump attached to the engine. this is not a  recall. the recall is a reprogram of the EBCM software. two separate things. now i

So now we need an extended warranty on the ABS unit to cover premature wear from using it in normal braking?  Seems like yet another band aide to me.  That Corvette electric pump is looking better and

Good to know, thought I was wrong on the mileage.

I posted this on another thread but wanted people to know what my dealership told me when I brought my 2014 gmc for recall. They said that that vacuum pump part number 12669488 is being replaced by a new pump. Part# 12696313. They quoted me over $600 to replace pump. I brought truck home and said I would do it myself. I was able to order this new pump part # from an online GM dealership out of North Carolina. Still waiting for it. But it appears to be a new part as I could only find it from GM dealerships. Amazon or rock auto didn’t have this part only the superseded part. I’ll post a pick of the new pump when I get it. I have no clue what the difference between 12669488 and 12696313 is. I found one on eBay from a dealership and they both appear exactly the same from the pics.

Looking forward to the pics of this new part number.  For reference below is my faulty original compared to the 12669488.

Anyone had any luck getting reimbursed?

 

I had this exact issue with my '17 back in July.  GM agreed that there was an issue (they had a special coverage at the time) and that the fix was to replace the vacuum pump.  I had to pay for it ($100 on my extended warranty) as I was outside the special coverage.

 

GM now hiding behind an "it's not the same thing" excuse...I've escalated my case but may have no choice but to file a complaint with NHTSA.

I picked up my check today. I had an independent shop do the work with me supplying the part. (Pump, brake booster, line, and master cylinder). Total cost and reimbursement was $823 and some change. Because I used and independent shop there were a few hoops to jump through, but they did reimburse me.

so you took it in for the recall and instead of doing the recall they said you need a new pump, which you have to pay for? Was your pump bad to begin with?

If i take mine in i just want them to do the recall job, not try to sell me on service and part replacements. Mine has no issues as of now.

No. My brakes went stiff on me twice. But I only brought it in for the recall. I was planning on getting the part and doing the pump change myself and only getting the reprogram done at dealership. They tested the pump and confirmed what I already knew,That the pump was starting to fail. In fact they didn’t want to let me take the truck home because of the bad pump. They made a note on my paperwork that the truck was unsafe to drive but returned to customer. The funny thing is that the dealerships are admitting that the problem is unsafe yet there is no recall to fix it.

Right, it almost seems like a bait and switch deal where they want you to come in for the free fix but they know most of the pumps will be bad and they scare you with the unsafe to drive part to get them to fix it, when in fact it should be a recall for sure.

Bunch of BS!

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
