Hi all. I got my 2020 2500 HD late last summer and have had several on going issues. After abut 5000 miles the brakes started squeaking and making a horrible moaning sound. Took to dealer and they replaced the pads. Same thing a month later. Dealer replaced pads again. 2 months later same thing. This time dealer said there have been a lot of reports of the same issue. Factory said to replace rotors and pads until a “proper fix” can be found. So far so good. But it’s only been a week. Second issue the transmission makes a loud noticeable clunk when down shifting to low at a stop sign. 1st dealer reset the computer which made no difference. Took to another dealer today and they said that the transmission bolts have to be replaced because they are allowing something to slip when stopping making the clunking noise. He said they have seen this problem recently. Long post but has anyone else experienced these problems? And what else am I in store for? Thanks

I have the same squealing noise, seems to get worse when they get hot. Dealer said they can not duplicate it.

Dealer said It is normal.

Only 6200 miles.

 

I guess we will battle!

I just bought mine at the end of April. No squeeling brakes yet. I've had what feels like a late down shift when slowing to a stop or gliding around turns. No noise involved, but gives a little shove which makes me feel like an internal action, rather than a loose mount. I've fealt this in a lot of other transmissions and this is my first of this model, so I wasn't really alarmed. The real rest will be a tow next week after I finally get the boat ready for the water.

Same brake issues on my 2020 2500HD which started around 8k miles.  Sounds AWFUL.  Squeeking, moaning and just making my truck sound like a POS when driving around.  Dealer replaced the pads and it started doing the same thing again after only 500 miles.  Have not taken it back yet, but it needs to be resolved ASAP.  Truck does have some strange shifting manners at times, but towing has not shown these issues at all.  Truck tows much better than our last truck with the 6.0L - so we're happy with that.  Anyone notice that it sounds like the spare tire bounces around underneath when hitting large bumps or speed bumps?  Sounds like you have something in the bed of the truck that jumps up and hits the bed again.  How about your center console?  Mine gets jammed shut and will not open without using a screwdriver or knife to wedge it open again.

My 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500hd is doing the  same thing with the brakes and the trans.  With the Chevy dealer fixing the bolts did that fixed the trans problem?

Funny u should ask. My brake problems were never solved after 4 visits to the dealership. The last time they had a field engineer do the repair. 800 miles later same noises, squealing and moaning. This was in mid September. GM declared my truck a lemon and are replacing it. I am extremely satisfied with how GM handled this. They are trading MSRP TO MSRP.  Only problem is timing. There are no 2020’s out there that dealers were willing to part with so I ordered a 2021. It’s scheduled to be built next week and should have it around thanksgiving if they can get it shipped. When all said and done, I will have to cough up $20 for the 2021 for the MSRP difference. Oh and the transmission has been fine since they replaced the mounting bolts. Once again very happy with GM for taking care of a long time customer.

Need to take it to Chevy and tell them GM service Bulletin 20-NA-020 issued in July tells them to warranty fix it with specific part numbers and gives them work authorization codes.

Spent 10 months with cannot duplicate, now all good on brakes

2020 Silverado 2500 HD with less than 2,500 miles - purchased 2 months ago. It had just come in from the factory the day we bought it. Barely got it back to the dealer before the transmission failed. They couldn't even get it in gear to move it into the bay to take a look at it.

Well I got into my new 2021 a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t be happier with the entire situation. My 2020 was definitely a lemon with the brakes and towards the end, the transmission started sliding forward again when stopping and it had 19,000 miles on it the day I dropped it off at the dealership. GM took care of everything including all fees and taxes. Worse part was the wait to get it built and shipped. At the end of the day, I am a very satisfied GM customer and will continue to buy and drive Chevy.

I am late to the game here but have a 2020 Silverado 2500 I bought in January 2020. I have dealt with the brake issue twice and the second time they finally had the fix. No more speaking. However, I have the transmission clunking between 2 and 3 either on a decelerate around a turn or accelerate around a turn sometimes just decelerating to a stop. Dealer claims they cannot duplicate the issue. I need to take it in and drive with them to feel and hear the issue. 

 

Has anyone been able to find a solution??? Was it the trans bolts??? It is driving me crazy.

Taken it twice for clunking in transmission.. they say it needs to be re programmed.. dealership wants to charge 175.00 because it's out of warranty of bumper to bumper. Only has 50,000 miles. This is a problem.. it sounds like it downshift..

      Next time you're on a road trip to a state where you can still buy it stock up on 12oz cans, you might look into getting certified so you can buy it where you are as well. When they switched from R12 to R134a the test for certification was easy, they basically just wanted the $25

      Getting greedy...   The AC pump has been replaced at least once per service records, and it's been recharged twice since 2018 or so, in approximately 2 year intervals between those charges.   It was done at the same shop...clearly they were enjoying the revenue of recharging the system periodically versus actually tracking down and fixing the leak. I learned that the owner was 88 years old when she passed in 2023, so maybe they assumed only a temporary fix was needed anyway.   The system is basically empty now, the compressor spins freely, so I'm guessing it "just needs a recharge".   I vacuumed it down, and it has basically held overnight. Doesn't appear to leak under vacuum, check! So it must leak under pressure. I don't have a way to pressurize the system and pressurizing it with shop air wouldn't be great for the air dryer (which is probably toast anyway?)   The dryer (accumulator? I'm not an AC expert) has a Schrader valve, but the high side has an old ball-type valve, which are notorious for leaking. It's clearly had schmutz blown out of it at one point because the line/area next to the valve is coated old black crud, which I assume is AC refrigerant residue/oil, or maybe even dirty dye. I think I'll roll the dice and replace the valves. I have a black light around here somewhere so I'll find it and shine it around the engine bay in the dark to see if there's any dye.   I can't think of another way to track down the leak other than injecting some dye (if it doesn't have any) and having it charged up. We can't buy R134a off the shelf here anymore, so I'll run it up to Jiffy Lube and have them do it. I think I have a coupon. At the very least, the charge should last long enough for a year or two, according to history. I think this truck will be long gone by then. But cold AC is a selling point.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By clowe1243 · Posted

      Got the truck back today.  Called them yesterday to get an update, and miraculously my truck is finished?!?! The $13k out the door was complete bullshit!  Ended up being over $14k.  They added some bullshit service bulletin that I cant even find, where they replaced my radiator without telling me or asking me, and charging me for it.  Need to do more research into it, cause they leaked the first delivered radiator was ran over by FedEX.  Sounds like bullshit to me. 2.5 Months for an engine swap, which ended up being remanufactured, not new; ****ing ridiculous.  Brakes are squishy as hell, not sure if its from sitting.  Will give a couple days to see it that figures it self out.  GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH 1 GALLON OF GAS!  Just filled the tank the day before drop off, more bullshit.  My dash cam SD card was formatted, not really much I can do about that. 3 year, 100k GM warranty at least.  Time to sell it and say **** off to GM.  Bad experience.  Cant wait for the survey email to come through.  Overpriced Raptor R, here I come!

      If I forget the phone in the truck, and forget the truck in the phone, and reconnect.  It works great for the day.  Truck sits overnight, and the next day is a no go.  It will connect Android Auto via usb cable, but not bluetooth.   Ive tried Everything in this thread so far, and nothing works for more than a day.   I think I might have to go to the dealer and have them flash the pcm.   thanks for all the suggestions guys. 👍

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      2022 2500HD Crew Z71 Duramax single alternator.  Recently had the primary (water pump / fan) belt tensioner pulley bearing to fail while hundreds of miles from home of course the plastic pulley melted and belt shredded which took out some wiring. Found a replacement tensioner assembly and belt to continue now would like to find a replacement for just the pulley and bearing to have a spare assembly in case of a repeat, the rest of the tensioner is fine. Has anybody here found a correct replacement part for just the pulley and bearing? Any help is appreciated.
