****VIDEO**** Click/pop felt while braking coming to a stop or just after...

Post an update if the dealership is able to diagnose it. I’m interested in knowing what it is. I’m one of those who obsesses over noises my cars make and spend hours trying to find and fix them.
"It's the tires, they are starting to chop"

Lmao. I said ok, let me take a tech or service Advisor for a ride along, I can assure you it's not the tires.

Gave me an appointment for 5/24 for a service ride along.

Why is it that dealerships do this?

It is definitely not the tires....

I'm pretty ticked off. Waited two weeks for them to tell me that. Smh.
 

Well this thread will get a lot longer.

I will be using this as a log of symptoms until either I or the dealer figure out where this noise/pop is coming from. I'm determined to find it before them now...for my own sake.

I still can't believe they told me it was tire noise. But as I examined the service ticket, the technician did make note of the spring not "aligned" and "the main spring making contact with the spring clamp". But also noted that they inspected multiple similar trucks and they all were like that. I will swing by the dealership this week on the way home and look at a few myself.

Drove my normal commute home. ( dealer is less then a mile from where I work).

Initially, it didn't make the poping sound. But at around 130 degree transmission temp (not sure it's related, just a note) and while the truck got up to speeds around or about 45mph, the pop came back while coming to a stop. One pop.

Seems to happen alot at around the 12 mph mark or so. Give or take 5 mph.

This continues to happen the remainder of the ride home. Multiple stops. I can be on the brakes and it is noticeably lounder or off the brakes and it's faint, but there while decelerating.

Can't hear or feel it hitting bumps or changes in elevation. Can't hear or feel it on rough surfaces. (Gravel road).

It continues to rain here so I'm not climbing under it today. But I will be doing a though suspension review tomorrow and will be adding photos to this thread of conditions.

Then I'll have someone drive it and see if I can catch the noise from the outside. I am almost tempted to buy a gopro just for this occasion.

Hopefully this is something simple that I'm overlooking.

A few more notes to diagnose: This noise is present with any level of fuel or Def in the tanks. This noise is present with the truck stripped of any possible item in the cab or bed that could potentially make any sound. The truck is stock. I have not taken it off road or any under stress conditions. I can feel it in the brake pedal and floor.

The saga continues...

Glad your BS meter works cause it’s definitely not the tires. Hope they can resolve it for you on the 24th.
 

Hello new owner of a 24 AT4X with the 3.0. Any update on this? My truck has started popping as well, same exact thing. Sound coming from the front and can feel it it the pedals when it pops.

Very disconcerting driving a truck with those noises; hope GMC acknowledge the issue and identifies a solution. :mad:
