Have a 2020 Silverado 1500 making an awful grind/whine noise while driving. Starts after warmed up. Had same issue at 28,000 miles now at 56,000 miles. 4wd does not affect noise. I believe dealer replaced front cv axle first time around but cannot find paperwork to verify. See links below (sorry for the wind noise):

Thanks for this. Wondering was this covered under warranty. 

Should be, taking it in Thursday

one video sounds like the dust shield is rubbing the rotor, does the noise get louder when you turn either way

I thought the same thing, took it all apart and turned out to be the brake wear sensor loose and rubbing/grinding. Video 1 is a different issue being addressed at the dealer Thursday. Sensor is $13 at Autozone.

That’s the same noise I hear. Problem is when I drop off at dealer they will say they can’t hear it because it hasn’t warmed up. Hopefully they can tell.

Which video?  1 or 2, 3

Hey guys. So my front end noise. Had the mechanic at my Gmail dealership come for a ride. He thought it was brakes until I put in 4x4 and noise stopped. Brought the truck in today and they still say it’s my front brakes need replacing even though the computer says there at 65 percent. Didn’t know why noise stops in 4x4. Very frustrating. Especially when charged 200 dollars.

Sorry to hear that, Mario. Just got off the phone with dealer, they are trying to say its the brake pad wear sensor. I told them I didn't agree, to unplug it and reassess. Picking it up later. Will update

Ok thanks. Let me know how you make out. 

Mario, ended up being the brake wear sensor that caused both noises from the videos. I took it out from behind the pad and zip-tied it. No more noise, at least that I can tell, thank God. $13 part at AutoZone. The dealer quoted me $150 to replace it...

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • 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?
