Anyone having issues with their disc brakes? I have 32,000kms on my truck and three of the four rotors have deep gouges in them. Dealer says it is from sitting and rusting but my truck drives every day. Just wondering if anyone else has this issue. The dealers say it is not under warranty.

I drive a 2019 Chevy Silverado Custom Trailboss 4x4.

Usually that happens with bad pads or something gets stuck in the pad like a rock. It then wear a groove into the rotor.

 

And yeah, it wouldn't be covered under warranty on a 2019 because of the year. If it bugs you, you can replace the rotors and pads yourself or just wait until you get more miles on them.

This is their "go-to" answer. They're full of it. I have a 2019 AT4 and there was apparently a TSB out for uneven pad wear....The solution was to replace the pads and rotors, no other explanation. Part number changed completely as well...so I'm leaning towards the fact that the pads and or rotors were garbage that shipped with the trucks, maybe poor material or something. 

 

I was never offered this for when I had my brakes checked. I've attached a couple of photos for you to compare. You can see how mine was embossed, not a groove. The pads had a groove in them, but the rotors had material raised. Which is not rust or a valid answer. 

 

My friend who is a GM mechanic told me their standard answer for this issue is exactly what you said. I told him the same, I drive daily, truck does not sit. Basically it's a bullshit answer. 

 

I ended up replacing my pads and rotors and I only have 57,000kms, never towed or had heavy loads in the back.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
