Same. 16k miles. Hear squeak in A.M. while pulling out of garage. Thinking the cause is brake dust build-up/dirt/road grime. I haven't cleaned my wheels thoroughly in a while since it's been snowy/rainy for weeks...

Yeah, this has been discussed / reported here in another thread. I’ve had the same issue on my 2019 RST for about a year.    The dealer has never been able to replicate it. LOL. Of course.

Mine does it only when backing out of the driveway and applying brakes in the morning... Never had it squeak while applying brakes in the forward motion.

Same here.  First thing/use.  Especially when backing out of the garage.

40K on mine, and they have made noise since day one, always when they are cold.  I have always just assumed it was because of the full metallic pads.  Any vehical that I have owned with full metallic pads (factory or aftermarket) made some noise from time to time, the trade off is they typically last longer

I invited them to my driveway at 7:45am any day of the week to observe and take notes. ?

LOL. Of course not. Mine has 12k on it now at dealership for steering wheel column replacement, some rattles and of course rear brake squeak. They are aware of the issue but they told me the brakes are on back order????. We shall see what they say when I get the truck back. It’s very annoying backing out of driveway in a $67k vehicle with squeaky brakes, when neighbor across the street has a 2014 Sierra with 80k miles on it, and his factory brakes don’t squeak!!???.

Got truck back today from dealership. Fixed all the rattles, new steering column put in, and replaced rear brakes per TSB. No squeaks at all now.

Do you happen to have the TSB number?

I don’t but I will look at service report papers at home on table.  I just mentioned it to service manager and he said ok I’ll look it up.  Very nice and knowledgeable guy

Heard something about a lower copper content in newer more epa friendly pads. Could be a factor.

that's interesting. My wife's old explorer had a squirrel make a nest in the engine bay (yes daily driver). Thing chewed through the rear washer hose line (thank god could have been worse). Read that a lot of the rubbers are now made with bio/eco friendly oils that attract things that like nuts and berries. We win and and lose it seems.

yeah not to pick nits, but I think that's the point. The sticker on my rst z71 was in the high 50's I think and it's crazy to have it sound like a 90's accord with 200k on it. Don't get me wrong, I love the truck (minus the sunglass holder removal ?) but it's a sign of "cheapness" or "neglect" and that just bugs me.

Did he happen to have a horn coming out of the middle of his head, and pixy dust floating around him? #unicorn

Nope, there are actually nice guys who work at stealerships. That’s why I drove over 70 miles to take it to them, instead of my hometown stealer ship who claims they haven’t heard of any rear window leaks or rear brake squeaks. Unreal!

So, it's the brakes that squeak when backing up first thing in the morning?

I thought it was coming from me. I am getting old.

On my 2020 AT4 2500 HD I had squeaking brakes early on. I took my truck to my GMC dealer and they said this was a very common issue on the new 2500HD brake pads. They did replace my pads under warranty when my truck was at 23k miles. I’m now at 32k miles and my replacement brake pads are squeaking again. I made sure to remove the brake dust but they still squeak. It’s frustrating having my brakes squeak so much when I’m coming to a stop at a stop light. Hopefully they can find a solution to this in the future.

I had my wife record me backing up in the morning to get the squeaking on video for when I decide to take it in.......

Tried it two days in a row..........never squeaked once!  Damn.....

 

Guess that's the cure......just hook up a cam to record it and it will never happen. ?

 

I'm beginning to think it's a little bit of rust forming either on the metallic pads or rotor that causes the initial squeaking, then once burnished off the squeak is gone. 

Humidity, duration of sitting, and temp may play a part in this.......not quite as concerned about the issue now.

      It added a cost layer to an already limited production supply. True that.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Swap costs and supply/demand balance. When a barrel comes out of the ground the entire range of products are present but not all at the same percentage.    Breakdown of Refined Products The following table summarizes the approximate output from a standard 42-gallon barrel of crude oil: Product Type Gallons per Barrel Percentage of Total Gasoline 20 gallons 45% Diesel Fuel 9 gallons 21% Other Products 13 gallons 31%   Most of that diesel figure is 'straight run' or cut from the barrel. Gasoline 'cut from the barrel runs 0 to 20% at the crude. So in the crude unit there is more diesel the gasoline, usually.  The full refining experience however gives the tabled values. Ego there is half the diesel than gasoline after the 'first crack' That could be an FCC unit, or Isomax or....   Those units take heavy products and break the big ones into little ones. Those numbers are harder to get hold of but directionally it ends up the same.    Really light products are very profitable. Ethylene and Propylene to name two. Those are cracked from slightly heavier feeds like NG and Propane and Ethane. The cracker harshness determines the feed for distillation. Those feeds come from less profitable products like diesel and gasoline.    So...there is a swap cost. How much market is there TODAY and what crude am I running TODAY..... what is my process capable of always.    There is this as well. The USA uses allot more gasoline than it does diesel so in the cracker the process is tilted to gasoline production which....limits supply of diesel. OTR uses the most and it has different requirements than automotive and agricultural.  Limiting auto products.    You are correct however. It is less refined, just less of it. Allot less.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Most thermostatically controlled ATF systems use a 'wax' pill just like the one in your water thermostat. They work on the expansion volume of the wax and the pill is constructed in such a way as to limit the travel to remain within that range. This means it has an opening temperature often called the 'cracking temperature' and a fully open temperature. For whatever reason oil is designated by it's fully open temperature and water by it's cracking temperature.    Between the two it the "Regulating Temperature" The entire range is about 20 F from closed to open. In your example the lower limit, opening point of 145 F then has a fully open temp of 165 F and a throttling temperature of 155 F.    Thing is, the throttling temperature needs two things to work properly. Enough system load high enough to reach the minimum and a heat sink (cooler/exchanger) large enough to prevent any load applied from exceeding the fully open temperature.    If your system exceeds the fully open temperature it is screaming MORE COOLER.    Here is the silly part of the whole thermostat system where the oil is cooled/heated by the radiator. Nothing is flowing to that system until the oil temperature reaches the cracking temperature unless it is equipped with a minimum flow bypass orifice or a bypass built into the seating surface of the plunger. That system meant to get it up to temp quicker isn't doing a thing until WORK drives if from ambient to cracking temp. One a cold winter day, like zero F, it may never get hotter than about 110 F. Sometimes not even that.    People forget or are young enough to not know that until this millennia transmissions were cooled by the radiator cold tank alone and without a thermostat at all.  In the 50's they weren't even cooled. OEMs learn everything the hard way.    When an OEM tells you the trans "Works best" between 175 F and 220 F it means works best for THEM. The transmission thermostat is fuel play. If you watch you trans temps like I do you will learn that it may take a hundred miles if you are not towing and not driving more than say 55-60 mph on a zero F day to even reach 120 F and it might sit there all day if it's colder. Yet if functions perfectly over about 100 F. It may need to get a bit warmer for the fuel and spark maps to go without an multiplier.    Worry more about too hot. Use a cooler large enough to put that thermostat in range.

      Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up.

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas
