Mine went in today for complimentary oil change and tire rotation. I have a little over 6k miles. I let them know about the noisy brakes and tech bulletin. Service adviser asked me if they do it hot or cold, I said mainly hot.  Mine get substantial worse after unhooking from my 24’ enclosed trailer. I will let you guys know what they do later today.

Found it, a little google always helps. Thanks all. When I called to ask them if it was covered under warranty she said bring it in and lets see. I mentioned I found the TSB on it, so it should be cov

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.

Got the truck back today.  New rotors installed after they discovered there was glazing/hard spots on them.  Took them a day or so to figure and get the higher powers of Gm warranty to approve.  Just picked up and quiet for now.  All under warranty

Well...spoke to soon as the brakes have started up again with the noise, though not as bad as 2 weeks ago.  Called dealer, stated they only replaced the front rotors and left all of the second round of pads on.  I brought truck into my garage and crawled under and the rear rotors have a shiny spot on the inner diameter of the rotors 3/4-1" wide.  Appointment again next week...

I had mine replaced via the TSB, good to go since. They were on backorder so took a few weeks but happy they honored and fixed it. Mine was built SEP19.

So got truck back a couple weeks ago, noise came back after front rotor replacement and new pads.  Brought back again, 3rd time, discovered that the front pads were installed backwards.  Driving for 3 weeks now and silent...

Just took mine in today for brakes squeaking and steering clunk noise. They also did a complimentary oil change and updated the software for a DEF issue? 

Of course 9 hours later i get ahold of them and they tell me they could not replicate the brakes squeaking and humming and the steering column clunk... I told them i will be down there in the morning with my videos showing the noises... I even pointed out the service bulletin about the brake pads. 9 HOURS to do an oil change and software update and drive the truck around the block!!!!

Mine is in for the brake pad TSB right now. I had 17,000 miles on it and it was embarrassing to brake when I was driving slowly as they squealed like an old work truck.

I did have the troublesome pads and they are putting in the new ones.

They did get an “out of stock, back ordered” message from GM for the new pads but were able to get a set from another dealer in town.

So what does it sound like when you are having this issue?  I have been trying to track down a squek noise that I can't pinpoint when I'm driving but it is very annoying.  I've checked everything I know of which could be making the noise and it hasn't stopped?  You guys think this may be the issue?

What’s the difference in pads? Have a copy of the TSB? Mine squeal on in cold weather until they warm up (few times braking).

So dealer said the tech said my brakes and odds are perfectly fine. There’s some brake dust which is causing the squeaking and humming which is 100% normal.... wtf??? But wait if I want to resurface my brakes for $133 that’ll fix the squeaking.

Brake dust isn’t causing the squeaking of that was the case my camaro would never stop as the pads dust quite a bit

So just got home from picking up my truck... I gave them the TSB and they said i had the correct pads on. They kept telling me the squeaking and humming is normal and they can't do anything because 1. I'm over the 7500 miles to do the TSB and 2. I have the correct pads... The supervisor said he has a 2500 that does the same and he just lives with it..... i have never had a vehicle that does this and it be normal.... I even showed the service advisor my video and she said that is pretty loud.. UGH...

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
