Hi Eddie, I don't want to bring any undue focus on the dealership. They are good in customer service overall. I'll do that if it comes to it. Can you provide me the service bulletin that user "JoKen" mentions above?

Joken, I assume you were replying to me. Do you by chance know the service bulletin number? I'd like to qoute this to my dealer when I take it in. I'm also glad to know i'm not the only one with this particular issue. Also, I brought the vehicle into my garage last night and was poking around. I believe it is also the rear shocks "sticking" a little bit as the suspension receives a load/that load is removed - like pushing down and letting go of the rear of the vehicle. Makes the squeak/groan every time. The shocks still function, but it's like there is a very minor metal on metal rubbing as the shock operates. I have always been a GM guy, I guess growing up in the D with family members working their tends to create brand loyalty, but this truck has given me quite a few annoyances that has tarnished my impression of a supposedly "professional grade" brand. I has no problems with my previous Sierra (2011). I just recently had the TSB for frame rust performed on the truck. It's a shame I had to bring my new truck with less than 4K miles on it in to get significant surface rust dealt with. Good thing it's only a lease.

Hey Guys, new to this forum, been stalking for a few years Anyone else having a problem with their 2014 GMC Sierra SLE Z71 (and likely other configurations) concerning a creaking or maybe rubbing noise coming from the back end of the truck when getting in an out (when you place your body weight into the vehicle)? I've been noticing the issue for the last few months, but didn't notice for the first six months. I'm wondering if it's a suspension problem, or something as simple as the truck bed contacting metal somewhere else in the bad end. Also notice the same type of sound when I get in the bed of the truck and walk around, seems like metal contacting, or maybe shocks not being able to move freely up and down as my body weight moves around. It's not a performance or mechanical problem, rather an annoyance I simply should not have on a $40K truck. It's virtually impossible to pinpoint and the dealer is utterly useless tracking down these types of "noise" issues. Thanks for any suggestions you all may have.
