Default Re: Anyone have an 09..

Ok, I thought it was just me.....My side marker lights in the rear do not blink on the 08' model. My 05' side blinkers did though.
The brake noise I have gets a little louder when you drive on it longer....sounds more like a squeal.....it's really annoying to me anyways.
Yes, I have to step on the gas to get up over a hill, but it doesn't downshift really hard.....I know that this new transmission has two overdrives....says so right in the sales brochure.....so that is probably why it bogs down a little when you first start going up a hill.
I don't think I want to update my TCM programming....I did that once in a dodge ram, and my gas mileage went from great to under 10mpg!
For those of you that have had the update....does it affect the mpg a lot???
My headlights dim a little to when the brake noise is heard.....from what I understand it is the motor for the brake accumulator. It turns on to bring the pressure back up for the brake lines. From what I heard, it is only supposed to run about every 10-15 brakes....but mine turns on every other time.....
HummerRich23.....what are the last six of your vin? I'm wondering if a bad lot of motors for the brakes went through......might find common vin numbers.
