Squeling Brakes Fixed

Had the most annoying brakes when braking since purchasing. Brought the truck in 6 months ago and all the dealership would do is rotate rotors and spray some stop squeel. But brought the truck to the dealership this week and there was a bulletin out for the squeeling brakes. So GM replaced the front brake pads (driver/Passenger) free of charge. No more brake squeels. YET :thumbs:

Good to know. My truck has 10k on it and it squeals like a stuck pig. Would you happen to know the TSB #?

 

Sry it took me so long.

 

the bulletin number the dealership provided was 00-05-22-002k

 

However, this morning driving my truck and after warming up the brakes are starting to squeel again. :driving:

 

I think Ive a bend/defect in the rotor. If I just press slightly on the brakes the brake pads make contact to the rotor at 1 point in the revolution an thats when it starts to squeel. ITMAFS

Try this. When you have you pads off, there are two tabs, beend them down so it's nearly imposible to fit them back on, reinstall and good luck.

That sucks...I was happy to see this thread, mine has squealed off and on since the first couple of weeks. Very unusual, I've always been pretty happy with GM brakes. (Well besides the look of the drums, but we won't go there.)

Well the service tech said the bulletin was new and stated they have been replacing lots of pads. Shes had no complaints from customers saying the brakes are squeeling. Until me of course.

I've noticed mine in the past week to start squealing when I come to a stop. Not sure if it is an anomaly or related to this. I'm hoping it just goes away since it only does it periodically (first start driving).

 

Edit: My truck is at about 3500 miles.

So far my fronts are fine, but my rear brakes squealed like a stuck pig starting at about 1,500 miles. I finally pulled the drums and sanded the drums real good and chamfered the pads better and so far they are quiet.

Well mine satrted about the same time 1500 miles. Now I have 20k and its bad. Im ducking my head when I come to a stop.LOL

 

Should I try your method on the front disc brake?

I would if I were you. I've always found that no matter how much goo you put on there or chamfer the pads GM brakes squeal, unless you get the tabs bent and tight enough. Good luck what do you have to lose?

The rotors were warped since the day I brought it home with 6 miles on the clock. Since the rotors weren't bad (only noticeable when braking from high speeds), I didn't get around to taking it to the dealer until around 9,000 miles. The dealer resurfaced the rotors so they are no longer warped but are now glazed over and the pads are squeaking on occasion. I have about 10,600 miles on her now. I'm going to take it back to the dealer in the next few weeks to see about new pads and rotors but I'm not expecting that to happen. If they don't get it taken care of, I'm going to put on aftermarket rotors and pads. The quality of the OEM rotors isn't good on the 900's based on my experience of the two 900's that I've had.

Cheap Chinese-made crap! :driving:

 

Mine are holding up OK for now (22K miles), but I don't expect that to last long. I too will upgrade to some quality rotors/pads when these crap out.

Here are some pictures off the internet. Use a hammer to tap the tabs so that they fight tight. You may have to test fit it several times until you figure it out, once you have them tight use the anti squeal. Since they already probably used plenty of it you sill probably have to scrape it off, but you should be able to pick some up from any parts store.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      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.
