Figured this was worth sharing. Replaced rear pads/rotors on my 2019 with 70k miles. Far as I know this is the first change. The rear outside rotors looked fine but I was getting some major squeaking. When I disassembled I noticed that the inside pads were completely shot, next to no pad life left and the inside of the rotors were beat. The outside pads had over 50% pad life left, so it seems they wear completely uneven. Also, if you’re going to change pads, be sure to enter brake service mode. You will need a caliper retractor tool as you can’t compress the calipers with pressure. IMG_1316.thumb.jpeg.975bb0d11927d0fb4aa2ac925cde06a0.jpeg

I recently did my rear brakes on my 2019 AT4 and also noticed uneven wear. But this was the same case for my fronts that I did last Fall. 
 

You do not require a specific tool for the rear brakes. There are many YouTube videos showing how to put the truck into Service Mode. This will retract the pistons and you can do the brake job like any other brake job without e-brake applications.

That’s what was strange. I watched the videos and I forsure put the truck into brake service mode. I could hear the electronic brake motors retracting for a while but they didn’t retract. It stood in service mode while I swapped the pads. Can’t see what I missed but would be good to know for next time. Thanks.

Our techs have tried this supposed "service mode".  Doesn't work.  Nowhere in GM Service Information does it list ANY alternate procedures other than the use of a scan tool to retract and extend the pistons.

Hey newdude are there any affordable scan tools that are worth a sh*t that dont cost over $2000.00?

I literally just used it to retract mine a month ago. I suggest your techs do a little more research. 
 

I followed the steps in the video on YouTube to put the vehicle into Service Mode and take it out of Service Mode. The (P) with a wrench under it will flash. What do you suggest that means other than Service Mode???

 

Of course GM wants you to come in and pay some ridiculous amount of money to hook up a scanning tool and overpay for a brake job….
 

Use the link below. It’s the exact one I used.

Of course not……GM wants to make cash from their service department to make up for lack of sales during Covid. 
 

But the method I used worked perfectly. 
 

MANY people have used the same method with no issues.

Well it appears I've got some egg on my face as the w/o scan tool procedure was not in the manual.  

 

It now is. 

 

Not sure when they added this.  It was not there in the 2019-2021 trucks, under 2022 LTD I see it so I'd imagine they edited this for all the years 2019-2024.

What's sad, is that GM programmed this feature into the trucks from the get-go, yet waited 5 years to tell the public about it, intentionally allowing the consumer to believe the only way to get the brakes done was through the dealership.  

 

Talk about deception.

 Just received my Launch scanner today. It will put the brake system into service mode. I see it will reset pad life also.

 

Amazon has a lightening deal right now for $372.

Any help will do. Started rear brakes and got passenger side off before realizing you had to go into service mode. Never knew anything about it. Yup, rookie I guess. I tried to go into service after I had caliper off. Bunch of lights went off in dash. Complete brake failure, trailer brake error or something along that line. Also said something like top speed 43mph. Never could get those off dash. I ended up finish with new calipers rotors pads on rear. Driver rear was seized up completely. Needless to say. Starting bleeding brakes and got to made with whole situation. Had truck towed into shop and they can’t figure out to unlock rear. Fronts still roll. Any help trying unlock would help. I’m sure I’ll get a nice heathy bill from shop if they ever figure out. Thanks

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think we're reaching the end of constant projects/work.   The water pump bolt appears to have self-sealed, as it's not leaking anymore. I'll take it, and, I'm ready should it self-unseal! I was also getting an oil leak at the front oil pan seal and timing cover and came to find a pan bolt on the corner wasn't even finger-tight. Too easy. And, it was. But, it appears tightening it has reduced a leak producing spots on the ground every time I parked, to just a weep, leaving an occasional dot on the cardboard that lives under it while parked. That's acceptable on a 30 year old engine in my book. I do hate leaks, but, replacing the pan seal is quite the job.   The rear washer line is reconnected and the sprayer works, although getting an intermittent washer fluid drip off the bottom. I think it's just residual...the reservoir filled up the channel in the rear floor and drained down into the upside-down spare tire/wheel. So there are residual puddles all over under there, will wait a few days for it to spill out and dry before I go chasing a potential leak.   The door speaker...no dice. Speaker works just fine, it's that channel in the factory amp that's gone bad. Can't win 'em all. And, whomever buys this will probably tear out the factory radio for something more modern anyway.   I put about 110 miles on it yesterday. Put a lot of wind and heat into it with some mountain driving. Still runs great. Near the top of the pass I got off on a gravel side road and put about 10 miles on with 4hi engaged. Works great.   If ya squint, she's mint! God I wish these were still in production. I can see why they're not. They're rudimentary bordering on agricultural. They began life as a pickup truck and then modern society demanded the rear be enclosed for kids and crap. They're still a pickup underneath, and that gives them lots of ride character, sway and bounce and bump steer. They're alive on the road, and, at least for purposes of nostalgia, it makes driving one a lot of fun.   The Check Engine light did come back on the pass, P0134 for the upstream O2 sensor dropping out. Putting heat into the exhaust causes it after about 10-15 seconds of increased load at higher RPM. The downstream sensor is completely mangled (someone clearly had a rough time removing it, but they didn't replace it?) so I'll just put two in it. For what, mostly to cure the CEL, I can tell the cat is damaged. It's not plugged or fractured, but it's not catalyzing. There's some guilt in not fixing it, but at a cost of $500+, the truck just won't get driven much under my watch. I dislike the smell...running the truck in the shop even with both doors open and the overhead fans blasting, I still reek of pre-cat exhaust. Sticks to clothing and everything else.   Window motor (I'm dreading this), and tires, and that should be about it. 50/50 on Starfire Solarus H/T's, or spending $20 more per tire and going with Cooper Discoverer RT's. I like the look of the RT's a lot more, but is it worth it? I've got a really good (just very old) Toyo Open Country XTX on there now and I like it.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      From what I've seen, they "could" sell the switch but designed the assembly such that the switch can't be readily removed and replaced without removing a plastic locating pin.  Sure appears aimed at forcing the end user to purchase a $900 shifter assembly instead of a $20 switch.  Thankfully I still have some extended warranty left...  this one has had warranty repairs almost every 5K miles from the day I bought it.

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      I'm well aware of the typical bathtub failure curve, but plotted, this truck has been more like an elevated straight line.  It started days off the lot with misfires that GM couldn't solve for almost 2 years, and steadily continued over the last 5 years with repeat replacements of wiring harnesses, camera modules, cameras, parking sensors, head unit, rear windows, rear leaf springs and bushings, lower control arms, a radiator, and now an ac compressor and a column shift assembly.
