Anyone install the brake moan bracket kit?

[Hemogoblin]

I'm doing mine finally this weekend and just had a question about removing the caliper bracket bolts. Do I need to do anything with the e brake? The instructions don't mention anything but just curious what others did.
Thanks

What is this moan kit?

I thought it was in a TSB and the dealership would do it for free? Or are you just avoiding the dealership?

Nothing with the ebrake. There are a few youtube videos on it, swap one bolt at a time.

Yes, instantly solved the backing up 'Chewbacca' sound I had been getting since new.

Dealer had no idea what I was talking about, so I bought & installed the 'kit' myself. Other than the OEM mounting bolts being very tight, it was a quick and easy install.

Just curious. What is in the kit?

There is a setting in Uconnect to retract the electronic parking brake or place it in service mode. If you don't do this you may crush the actuator. Also, disconnect the battery incase the parking brake is triggered while is it is apart. That will also fudge up the rear parking brake

It's been awhile, but I think it has: acouple U clamps that go around the axles, the brackets that reinforce the Caliper mounting bracket, and some hardware to put it all together.

I believe this is the part #:

Mine does it occasionally, has to be humid out and it has to be cool air temps like 50°-65°.
It only last a few pumps of the brakes when in reverse, basically out of my driveway then I never hear it again. Not worth my time to address and I'm pretty sure my truck already has the kit on it.

Mine is acting exactly the same it's only annoying once a day. I can live with it especially if that mickymouse excuse of a fix is the best answer.

I've been noticing this horrible sound when I reverse out of the driveway in the mornings. I said something to the dealer about a TSB concerning this and was told they couldnt find one. Does anyone have a TSB number or a link to it? I'd love to print it and bring it.

Thanks,

only for 2019's though, 2020 and up supposedly already have the bracket

I don't have it on my 21.

I did not have it on my 2020 Big Horn. I had them installed under warranty. No more noise.

 

[jvillej]

I installed it. Easy and worked like a charm

Had the TSB performed in Jan. 2020.
It helped a lot but I still hear a faint moaning sound occasionally on cool mornings.

Did it this morning, not too bad. The bolts holding the caliper are quite tight which was surprising. And I needed to remove the tires to get to the top bolts. Will see tomorrow morning how well it worked.

So for the last 2 mornings, when it would have sqealed and moaned loud enough to wake the neighbors, there was SILENCE. Seems to have worked
