Turned on my 99 silverado and the ABS light came on and I heard this humming noise. I turned off my truck and it was still humming. So I went under there and pulled the plug. What's going on here? Please help.:D:)

Do you still have some warranty left???  How many miles are on your truck???

 

Maybe you can find a decent dealer to help you out for $cost$...

I got a friend that works at a dealership so hopefully I will beable to cut the price in half. Nobody else has had this problem on the board? I did a little searching on other boards and I found quite a few other people having this problem.

You probably already now the this--

My owners manual says a momentary motor is normal while testing the system, but if the (ABS) warning light

comes on then your ABS is not working, but if the Brake System Warning Light comes on then you probably don't have any brakes.

 

If you didn't try to drive your truck the way you drive your GN things would be easier.:)

 

What other truck boards have you found?

Mine did it and ran the battery down.  So I had to pull the fuse.  It did it at 65,000 miles.  The dealer said GM released a TSB on it and he replaced the ABS pump for nothing and I had no extended warranty.  My dealer stated he had replaced the pump in every '99 he sold.  Must have been a Kelsey-Hayes design flaw because the new one looks a little different.

Did it to me with 42,000 miles.

 

The dealer replaced the module. It is still under ext. warrantee. Otherwise the bill was 750 for the module and 250 labor.

 

I think it's very common as when I pulled the truck into the shop for other 'scheduled' warrantee work, a service manager immediately popped the hood and pulled the fuse. It went out on me in route to the dealership with 200 miles to go over mountainous roads. The brakes continued to work if your worried about that.

Got it fixed free of charge with 38,000 miles.  The EBCM shorted out. It seems fairly common as of late. But not that common yet. The service guy said several out of 5,000 trucks that they sold have went out.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
