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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
