I submitted the repair request (My 3rd one I think, maybe 4th now) and GM said sorry I am now out of warranty and refused to cover it with the dealer. Mind you, they have already replaced my brakes MULTIPLE times under warranty following each TSB and update and it did not solve the issue. This new find is the last chance and they say, sorry, we know your brakes are still 98% but we are not covering it. I have had enough of GM. First my Front Differential blows up TWO times and brakes have multiple fixes and still suck and I am told to just deal with it? I don’t think so bozos. 

 

 

I would urge you to read my post above.

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.

My dealer is Findlay but that doesn’t matter too much because the issue is GM Corporate. They declined to cover it.

So now you'll jump ship over a $100 set of pads?

 

Seems cheaper to do that than replace the truck. Get mad all you want at GM for not doing more but the cheap fix is still an option.

 

I agree. If you can't live with it then change the pads to another brand and maybe change rotors too.

The Brembo brakes on my sports cars always squealed. The only fix was to buy softer pads. But the softer pads will fade at a lower temperature. Which means they are less likely to stop you in time at triple digit speeds.

In other words, if you go with softer pads to get rid of the squeal then your brakes may fail on you when towing 25,000# going downhill when the squealing pads would not have failed.

I was always told that quiet brakes are not as efficient as brakes that squeal. Pick your poison.

Edit: That may be why the issue persists after warranty replacement. Because GM is not going to put pads on a truck that will fail when operating at the stated limits just because they are quiet. Because then people would be cursing them for that too. If you don't intend to operate your vehicle anywhere near the limits then maybe you can install softer pads and not have to live with the squeal.

I took my truck to a different dealer and reported the steering column issue and squeaking brakes with 36k miles on my truck. They fixed it under warranty no questions asked. 

Maybe just take it to another shop and try. I get a squeak on the pads every now and then but its what I consider normal.

 I don't know if I'm the only one that has experienced this but I was starting to get squeaky breaks at 6000 km and they felt weak .  I looked at the week break problem and found that if you pump them when you start the truck 3 times (only need to do this once) that that it would help with that. It did and the brakes felt strong again and after about 3 month of driving with the brakes working better and feeling like they should, the squeaking has gone away at slow speed. I'm not sure if this is related or not.

I had mine replaced under warranty a few thousand miles ago and I am now almost to 10k total mileage and they are awful again. I had mine at the dealer last week and they said they aren't replacing them under the TSB/warranty again... Pretty disappointed.

Just Had mine replaced at 23003 miles. I have always noticed the weak pedal feel since owning the truck. I will say the pedal feel is much improved now. Not sure why, but I'll take it.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      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.
