Brakes Squeaking @ 10K

So my brakes are already squeaking and wondering if this is a warranty fix or anyone else having the same issue? I don't think it is a warranty fix, but hoping to save a few hundred if at all possible. 

 

I understand there are a lot of factors, dust, cold, wear and tear, etc. I brought it out and did some braking to warm it up and clean it off, but it is still doing it. Visually rotors look good, no brake dust/rust. I feel like I have been very easy on the truck, mostly highway miles and not a lot of stop and go.

 

Anything would help, thanks.

there is a TSB for this issue. Apparently the early build trucks have an improper spec'd pad. they replace pads at all 4 wheels

No. It’s intermittent also. It happens the most when coming to a stop at low speeds <10mph and it always happens in a drive thru.

Shadow, not sure...I disabled it, but I know it can't be much.

 

Kylant, any chance you know what TSB that was?

I mentioned I found the TSB on it, so it should be covered right? She said they are specific for each vehicle, to which my reply was...you mean like going to NHTSA website and typing in the VIN specific? Her response, what time can you bring it in. ha

Looks like the end date for Bulletin #20-NA-020 is September 1st of 2019 production. Mine was built in December of 2019 and the brakes squeal, sounds like only the fronts, 5,700ish miles and has been doing it for the last 5-700 miles.

LSP,  yep...thats what I found. Not sure when mine was in production, but know I got it in October (after the strike took a month to get here from the manufactory)

Funny how they respond sometimes.  Let us know how they handle it.  Sounds like they should replace the pads and check the rotors to be sure no premature wear due to improper pads.

Mine started squeaking a few weeks ago.  Went in for an oil change and let them know to look at it.  GM replaced the pads for free because there's a bulletin about it.

Mine was squealing since the day we bought it in SEPT 2019. Glad this is out but the dealer said don’t bring it up, just let them find the TSB. Whaaaaat? I have an in-warranty issue I have reported since day 2.

I took mine in to have the brakes replaced. They are covered, but the dealer said the pads are on backorder.

Brought them in and they replaced under the TSB and covered by bumper to bumper. Whew.

Both fronts and rears were changed on mine and so far so good.  My dealer only changed the rears the first time and used the TSB dates as the reason but the fronts were still making the noise so they got replaced as well 2 weeks later.  My truck was built the end of February so the September 19 date is BS.

My 2020 AT4 2500 started the noisy brakes around 14K miles.  Brought into dealer around 16K for oil change and a couple other things to look at.  They did in fact change out the pads stating there was a recall on them.  within a 500 miles new brake pads are even noisier, I call trash truck noisy especially at low speeds, coming to a stop, brought back to dealer and stated that the new pads are fine but it appears the rotors have glazed over.  They are trying to get the new rotors covered, but typically GM doesn't cover wear parts.  Spoke with them, I said has to be the pads, original or new ones doing this and should be covered.  I repost once dealer gets back to me

I have hauled a trailer with a load of no more than 5K lbs, maybe 4 times.  Truck is mostly used as a work vehicle but with nothing in box.

      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.
