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...


Does it go away after the brakes warm up?

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.

I picked my truck up this afternoon.

I have a copy of the TSB that I will upload tomorrow with pictures of the pads.

So far no squeaking...

As per KuiMonster’s post, my problems were intermittent but they never made noise when I was stopping from a speed more than 35 miles an hour or if I applied the brakes firmly.

They replaced my truck’s brakes because since we bought it in Sept 2019 (It’s a 2020 2500HD), it has squealed coming to stops. Well now it sounds like a DUMP TRUCK when coming to a stop. I took it back in and they said sorry, no fix no change so just live with it now.

The new pads are not squeaking for me.

I have put about 600 miles on them so far.

A lot of the miles have been towing and I apply more pressure to stop (the noise seemed to be worse with slow easy stops for me).

Where's the copy of the TSB? I'm sure plenty of us here could use that info.

Less than 3000 miles on the truck, and mine are getting noisy now.  Build date on my truck is 8/2020 though.  Wonder if the tsb has been extended for newer builds?  Also now have a faint whine sound that sounds like a power steering issue.

I’m at ~18,000 miles - anybody know if they limit the miles for the TSB?

It’s 7,500 miles the dealer told me. But if my pads were the wrong ones they would change it even tho I had 9,500 miles. Good luck. My dealer sucks. 2* for a reason.

Hi,

I looked up my invoice.

The new pad part numbers are:

84702753 (S) Pad Kit
84571661 (S) Pad Kit

I have a long gravel driveway and my brakes will still squeal for the first stop or two but it’s much better than previously.

It sounds as though every dealer is "handling" this differently.  Mine tried to say a TSB doesn't mean that it's covered, only that they are going to get bum-rushed with the issue.  I called BS on that!  The next excuse was the wear parts only carry a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty and if it's not a recall, the warranty language kicks in.  I just decided to pull the "loyalty" card on them and mention the 3 GMC Sierras, and 2 Cadillacs that we have purchased there and that I will just take my business elsewhere from here on out.  Long-story-short, the service manager "pulled some strings" with the factory and they covered it.  I have new pads on all four corners, rotors where not glazed, and only time will tell.

Had the pads replaced per the TSB this morning - DRW with 8,100 miles, but I reported the issue a few weeks back. My dealer service adviser team is great, though, and they always take care of me.

 

Question: My break pad monitor now just shows "----" for the front, and still at 96% for the rear.  I tried to reset in the DIC, but it would not do anything. I only have 15 miles on them from dealer to home.  Will this correct itself with some miles, or did they not do something right? Per the manual and the DIC, it has a menu where you can tell it "replaced front pads" and/or "replaced rear pads." Mine doesn't do anything when I press the thumb wheel.

check to see if they plugged the sensor back in. It is only on the driver side

My truck makes a squecking noise when driving - not even when applying the brakes.  I tried for months to pinpoint where it is coming from but I cannot tell when in truck.  Could it be this issue?  It drives me freaking crazy.

Nailed it. Plug was on, but not snapped all the way. Oddly, the truck still will not let me reset the sensors in the DIC - still at 96% as they were when I brought it in. Not a big deal, but annoying nonetheless.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
