Have been away from the forum for awhile but just got a different truck, a 2020 Sierra 1500 so I'm back. I've searched for this question but can't find results.  Several times today, first times since I've had it, I got out and heard a humming noise coming from the rear of the truck. The only thing I can think of is fuel pump. M y questions are why haven't I heard it before and why is it running after shut off not prior to starting. Any info is appreciated. My 2018 Sierra never did this.

It's normal. There's a bunch of other new stuff in the T1 platform the older trucks didn't have. I was concerned when I first got mine but then I read the owners manual and it mentions the various things that still run after the truck is shut off. The HVAC system closes itself up and I believe the radiator shutters also cycle. I know every time I open a door after it's sat it starts making noises.

Don't stay in the truck too long after shutting it down. Mine sounds like there is someone building an interstate highway behind the dash 5 minutes or so after shut down. Bumps, clicks, buzzing, whistling, etc..

 

I just cringe and walk away !

That is so strange. Then yesterday the Service Park Brake light and message came on. Tried cycling the button several times and stayed on, but 15 minutes later went back off. I'm not sure what to worry about and what to just disregard.

Took the truck in for a oil change today and have the park brake light checked out, which of course wasn't doing it at the time.  Luckily as the service manager got in to move it, it started making the humming noise and the service brake screen came on.  Turns out, the noise in the rear was the brake system.  Apparently someone had put new rear brakes on, there is a sensor to indicate when the brake shoes are worn, whoever did it didn't put the sensor back in and just left the wire hang.  It was somehow keeping the park brake from working.

Now if I could get the TPMS sensors working.........

If they didn't put the brake pad sensors in, does it have different wheels and tires? Maybe they didn't put the sensors in either or didn't put the correct frequency ones in. They should pair with the cheap $10-15 generic tool on ebay or amazon.

Build sheet shows the truck should have had 20"  wheels but had 18' wheels, couldn't find out why.  My thought also, that maybe it wasn't the correct frequency, I don't quite know how the reading tools work, I would think they could determine what frequency they are, can't imagine 4 sensors would go bad.  The dealer is saying once a sensor is programmed it can't be reprogrammed for a different vehicle, not sure if that is correct or not.

Dealer is full of crap. I've swapped sensors between vehicles with no issues. Bought a set of used wheels with sensors and paired them just fine with my 08 Avalanche. Unfortunately the T1 trucks changed to 433mhz from 315mhz so you can't swap sensors from older trucks to new ones.

So, a follow up on this. Continued to have issues with the Service Park Brake screen showing up and having squealing noise coming from the rear of the truck.  Was back at the dealer this week and had them check again.  They said they tested all the wiring to each wheel and the brakes are ok, it has to be the Brake System Control module.  Has anyone else had this affect the park brake?  This is a $560 part at the dealer plus labor to install.  Wondering if I can get a aftermarket one or even a cheaper OEM replacement and install it myself, but can't find much information about where it is located or how hard it is to install.  Any info appreciated.

Mine does too. I work on I-95 reconstruction, so it's double for me. ha ha

 

The relays behind the dash are loud too. They start clicking like the old arrival board at the train station.

How many Millions do you think you'll be on the hook for when your third world brake job fails and you kill someone? Don't worry about your insurance coverage, they cancel your policy as soon as they find out.

 

Don't get me wrong... I'm pround to be a cheapskate but a vehicles brake system is something I will absolutely not cut corners on to save a buck. The fact that you are apparently operating a vehicle with suspect brakes is worrisome all in itself.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      By Jay-22-2500 · Posted

      I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through.
