  1. I've had my 24 6.6 gasser for almost 2.5 years. I had the same whine at 130km/h (80mph) since new. My buddy is a Chevy mechanic and says there is no bulletin for it and our speed limits are max 100km/h anywhere near here so they cant even check it. Be interesting to know why though if anyone ever finds out. I will say it sounds like its coming from passenger side front. Keep us posted.
  2. Yeah, I didn't have a heart gun. My buddy is a Chevy dealer mechanic and he said just use the impact gun. I was surprised how tight it was. Either way, love the wheel. Best upgrade I've done.
  3. I installed a used leather (non heated) wheel onto my 2024 2500HD Custom Silverado. None of the buttons worked right so I had to gut the wiring harness and buttons and swap my original guts over to the new leather wheel. When I had it apart again I looked at the main harness pin and all the wires are different. Either way, super happy with the leather instead of the plastic! Swapping the guts took 5 mins. Note, you need a powerful impact gun to get the T50 off.
  4. I'm northeast of Toronto. It can get fairly cold here too. Dunno what extreme means though. Depends who you ask
  5. Wow, thanks so much for the insight. The first issue definitely sounds like it's tied to the shift release mechanism... the click you get when you press the brake and it allows the shifter to move. Regarding the 2nd issue, it kinda frustrates me, but I'm at least satisfied in the sense of, "I'm not crazy, there actually is an issue". I've been searching and searching and can't find any answers, so thanks for explaining. Really appreciate it, even if it wasn't a solution.
  6. I've got a 2024 Silverado 2500 Custom. First Pic was the day I bought it, second was the day I picked it up. Since then I've done: Black Tubular side steps Hard folding tonneau cover Black front emblem De-badged sides and rear K&N drop-in JL Catch Can Bed rail covers Floor liners Rear wheel liners
  7. Thanks for the fast reply. I'm sad to hear the first one is normal as no other vehicle I've had or driven has done it, so poor design it seems, but I can get past this one since it goes away after a min. I forgot to mention, my dealer tried two things to fix the other one. They tightened the coolant reservoir (which actually was loose). They also tightened the license plate bracket, fastening the top to the bumper. It was rattling and the paint on the bumper was wearing off at the top of the bracket where it had been vibrating. Neither of these got rid of it unfortunately. I also just remembered one more aspect. When it's raining or the roads are really wet I tend to not hear the second rattle. Also, I just did an 1100km trip and I haven't heard it the two times I've driven since. Right before the trip it was crazy obnoxious though and getting worse. I did drive through a LOT of rain on the 1100km drive. Not sure how that could effect it? I saw one post on a forum where a bolt was loose under the windshield wiper cowling. Wasn't sure if that could be my rattle.
  8. Hey all, I'm the type that can get annoyed by rattles. Especially when they are quite loud. I have 2 right now that I'm dying to get fixed. One the dealer can't find and the other they said was "normal". Just trying to get your thoughts on it, and maybe even a solution. I have tried searching the forums with no luck. I'm not always the best at finding things though. 1st. The first rattle comes from under the dash on driver side. It ONLY happens after first starting, when I first drive out of my drive way. Two things make it happen... 1st, if you slightly press the brake pedal and let go right away, it's a clicky/rattle sound, or when I drive out of my driveway over the curb/threshold onto the road. It sounds almost like the steering column clicks back and forth. It literally won't do it again once I start driving. When I lightly tap the brake pedal to make it happen, I can tap it a couple times making it happen, then by the time I'm on the road it doesn't happen anymore. The dealer said this is something to do with the ABS system doing a check. He said he's had lots of complaints that sound the same. This is my 30th vehicle (for real) and I've driven tons of HD trucks for work. I've never had this happen. It makes my new truck sound like garbage. Anyone come across this? 2nd. The second rattle is behind the driver dash as well. To reproduce it, I have to go over a medium bump at 50-60km/h (30mph?). It especially happens when the driver front tire hits a bump where the weight of the truck comes off it for a split second. Almost like a bad strut. Its like a hollow knocking type rattle. I thought I found it when I giggled my hood release, but after holding it while hitting those bumps, realized it wasn't it. Anyone experience this? My dealer hears it, but can't find it. Getting really annoyed. Thanks.
  9. I have manual folding mirrors on my 2500 Custom. The driver one would bounce around and rattle over almost every bump. I compared it to the passenger side and it was night and day different. I mentioned it to the dealer and they said it was normal. Definitely wasn't imo. I left it til the next dealer visit. I took the service tech out and demonstrated. When I pulled on the mirror it flexed a lot. When I let go, it literally acted like one of those spring door stops that kids play with - "booooiiinnnnggggg". He agreed it was excessive. They ended up replacing it under warranty. New one works great.
  10. I emptied my JLT 2.0 catch can for the first time since installation. I had only put 2500kms on. I bought the one with the extension sleeve. Fortunately I did as it was filled up to the extension sleeve seam. Looked like chocolate milk. Glad I did this install!
