Brakes will not disengage after 10-15 minutes of driving.

Have you tried turning off the Emergency Automatic Braking in the infotainment system? 

Yes.  I've tried turning off the grade braking, the stabilitrak, traction control, mashing the P-Brake.   None of these options have worked unfortunately

The picture attached isn't accurate to these trucks but what I'm getting at is the "poppet valve" in the image isn't fully closing or is leaking this would apply the brakes until the vacuum (on the va

No, I was replacing the original OEM pads as they were worn down. I cheaper out and bought the O'Reilly's brand BrakeBest pads. No problem with brakes sticking on original pads. However, first set of

Pumping the brakes momentarily relieves the problem?  When the problem begins does the truck pull to one side?  Have you felt the rims to see if one or more is hotter than the others?

Oddly enough, pulling over and pumping brakes and putting it reverse back into drive seems to temporarily get me back on the road.  After speaking with a mechanic friend he sends to think it might be wheel bearing issues.  

I just put it up on Jack stands and when I try spinning the front wheels, I don't get a full rotation freely after letting go.  

 

I don't have a lift or after market wheels.  I do have slight larger tires than factory (33x12.50 R20). I do tend drive in AWD from time to time.   So maybe the bearings are shot? I would've thought bad bearings would've thrown a code or something.

 

To answer your question, oddly enough, there is no pulling to either side.

 

If not the bearings... My new conspiracy might be the torque converter.  But again, that would most certainly throw a code or two given the outcome

Time to take the wheels off to check the brakes and wiggle the wheel hub. The way it sounds, you should be able to grab the top and bottom of the wheel and wiggle it. 

 

Yes it does sound like bearings. Or brake pads, clanking metal.

FWIW, I just had to have bearing replaced on passenger side. I had noticed my fuel economy had dropped off a bit. But what I really noticed was a noise on turning especially on sweepers. It wasnt a loud noise but a definite change. Driving straight forward was fine but when I turned left, the different noise was present. It went away as soon as I was driving forward again. This pointed to the right, passenger side wheel. Because of outside conditions and the fact that I'm a professional procrastinator, I let the dealer diagnose and they confirmed a bad wheel bearing in right side. I had it replaced and the sound went away. I also noticed that it held the line while driving ahead again as well. I had started getting a bit of sloppy wandering while driving straight ahead and I'm guessing that the additional resistance on the one side had a hand in that.

Just wanted to add that I also have a Goldwing trike. Last year, I diagnosed bad bearings on right rear side. Surprisingly, I didn't have any back and forth movement when grabbing the wheels but there was a bit of a grinding sound when manually spinning the wheel and it was more pronounced when compared to left side. I bought the replacement hubs from Rock Auto. The hubs were actually front wheel hubs for a 97 Cavalier. They appear to be similar to how the Silverado hubs look. It was stupid simple swapping out these trike hubs and for good measure, did both sides. 

 

I have seen several other threads on the Silverado front wheel bearings and they do seem to be an issue with failing...

The only reason I let the dealer do it was because it's still covered under the GM Protection Plan I purchased. Mine done last month was at just over 90k miles.

Rock on man. I use the truck to keep me busy outside. I'm always wrenching on something.

Well...

 

I'm officially tapping out!   I've replaced the brake pedal sensor switch, Both left and right Wheel hub assembly, rotors, pads, calipers, and complete flush.  Still have this damn issue.  

I just came across this post today and his scenario is damn near an exact as to what I'm  experiencing.

I  dropped off the truck yesterday, we'll see what the technicians find.   &*()#*#*@)( !!!

Check pedal to booster linkage.

 

If it were me I'd look at replacing the master cylinder or booster. 

 

Maybe just bleed the brakes for the experience?

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
