Jingle jingle underneath only in 2wd


Recommended Posts

I drive 55 miles each way and I've been running Auto4wd for several months with no real noticeable loss in mpg. I can tell you, in my humble opinion, it's a lot louder than a "jingle" in my truck. It's a loud, ear piercing squeal. Pretty embarrassing driving a new truck down the road, especially when you see all the dogs running for the hills. 

 

I'll be running this way until they find a fix.

 

Here's a link to another thread on Auto4wd. One guy says no reason to use it, but I beg to differ. : )

I'm assuming the answer is no, but just keeping the thread running regardless... any one heard anything new from "GM Engineering" I'm sure they're hard at work doing engineering stuff. 

 I called the executive again and she was going to call engineering again but did not call me back yet. As far as I know nothing has changed. Here is her contact information.

Terry, any reply from the Exec Liaison?

 

I just had my 2021 5.3L 4WD RST Z71 in to the dealer and they pulled up PIP5653 to explain the issue and there is nothing they can do.  I understand that the dealership can't do anything if GM Engineering doesn't provide a fix but even they were shocked to learn that this has been under investigation for a solution since April-2019. 

 

After 2.5 years without a solution, I fear that GM won't ever fix this.  If it is purely related to an AAM supplied axle then it would take less than a month to dimension out the AAM axle with comparison to "good" GM axle to find out the difference points.  Then another 3-4 months to design a solution.  Then another 6-8 weeks to make a prototype fix to test as resolving.  Then make the durability testing which eats most of the time with a worst case scenario of 12 months to do.  That puts us at a mass produced solution about a year ago...

 

Anyone working on a class action suit for this issue?  Seems to be a good candidate since there is a specific RPO code that designates 1 of 2 available axles without any resolution.

I just received a email back and she says this " As we discussed, I reached out to our team of Engineers concerning the ringing/chirping noise. I was advised it is still under engineering investigation and there is not an update at this time."
