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...

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
