There is a New DOT 3 brake fluid for the 2014 Silverado and Sierra 1500. The New DOT 3 brake fluid is available for order via your Parts Department as
follows:
GM P/N 19299818 (U.S.)
GM P/N 19299819 (Canada)
The new fluid has significant improvements in lubricity to eliminate previous known issues with master cylinder squeak/noise.
Always use the New DOT 3 brake fluid when refilling or servicing the brake system.
Additional Info:
If another type of DOT 3 brake fluid (including the GM DOT 3 Delco Supreme II) is used to refill the master cylinder, it may cause a master cylinder squeak
noise. If the wrong DOT 3 brake fluid is used, remove as much of the old brake fluid from the master cylinder as possible and refill with the New DOT 3 brake
fluid. Depress and release the brake pedal five times to allow the new fluid to enter the system.
GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may
occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools,
safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that
your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
