First time post from a new Chevy HD owner and I need the brain trust to help me out if y'all don't mind. I have a new 2024 Silverado 2500 HD LTZ 6.6L DMAX that I bought in July. It has abut 2500 miles on it and runs great. The only issue I found was when I hit dirt roads. The driver mirror is fairly loose, by loose I mean it bounces a little and makes quite a bit of noise when I hit washboards or potholes. I noticed the Passenger side mirror seems to be much tighter and doesn't rattle/bounce. I don't frequent dirt roads a lot except when I hunt or camp, so its not going to drive me nuts every day. However, is there a way to tighten the mirror at the fold point? Should I even bother taking the plastic shell off (or is it even possible?). Thanks for any information.

Thanks Gayle...I did try that (a little field troubleshooting) when I was on the road and it did dramatically reduce the amount of vibration from the mirror. But at the same time it wasn't a cure all as the rattle was still present (albeit less noticeable). Again, I'm only on dirt roads a few times a year so its not going to kill me (as long as the mirror doesn't fall off).

Hey Dave,

 

I was scrolling through the posts. I had the same thing going on with my drivers side mirror. I took it into the local dealership and had them submit to manufacturer warranty and it was approved. I go in on Monday to get a new mirror put on.

I have manual folding mirrors on my 2500 Custom. The driver one would bounce around and rattle over almost every bump. I compared it to the passenger side and it was night and day different. I mentioned it to the dealer and they said it was normal. Definitely wasn't imo. I left it til the next dealer visit. I took the service tech out and demonstrated. When I pulled on the mirror it flexed a lot. When I let go, it literally acted like one of those spring door stops that kids play with - "booooiiinnnnggggg". He agreed it was excessive. They ended up replacing it under warranty. New one works great.

For what it is worth, I have the same issue on my 2024 Silverado 2500 HD.  Driver side is the only one that is loose.  I took back to dealership and they are replacing the mirror on the driver side.  No clue why it can't just be tightened down but what they do is take a video of it, then send it to Chevy Engineers at home office where they review it for approved repairs/replacement. Just heard back they are replacing.  SO, moral of the story is to take that bad boy back do the dealer and let them fix it or replace it.  I wouldn't touch it yourself as they will use that as a reason to void the warranty on the mirrors and those have a lot of moving parts in them.

Had my Driver's side mirror on my '24 3500HD replaced under warranty at around 7500 miles and that noise went away.

I wonder if this is the noise I am hearing on my 24 AT4. Will have to check it out before it goes to dealer on Friday for other noises. Did the mirror wobble alot that it was very noticeable?

I seem to have the same problem.  The mirror is loose at the hinge.  If you move the end up and down you can see the wobble.  Very noticeable on washboard.  Guess I have a trip to the dealer in my future.

Have the same issue on my 22 Denali 3500, dealer replaced both mirrors under warranty, that lasted about a month or two and same issue again. Now out of warranty and I guess living with it. I have no idea with GM went away from a double sheer pivot like the prior years that just worked, Poor Engineering.

Has anyone had any luck getting this issue fixed?   The video I posted was the 3rd set of mirrors installed on my 2023.  It is currently at the dealership again for replacement but I don't have faith it will be fixed.

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
