  1. Thanks ya'll for finding out what was squeaking. I was chasing that noise for months. I found that brace bolt loose, tightened it up, and no more squeak. Thanks! 2017 Silverado LT
  2. I'm very happy with my Bilsteins. More stability, less bounce. 2017 Silverado LT
  3. Installed mine about a year ago. Use it occasionally. Works fine for me. John
  4. John here. 2017 Silverado LT KF5ZMD
  5. Quoted to add: Folded a towel 4-6 layers. Placed it on the floor in the opening between rear passenger door and rocker panel as close to the hinge as possible. (Closed the door on it) Been working for the past month. I'm much happier now. The towel gets wet when it rains, or truck gets washed. I can live with that a while. Best, John, KF5ZMD
  6. Hope springs eternal. Folded a towel over to @4 layers thickness. Closed the rear passenger door on it, it's next to the b-pillar, below the rear door hinges. A small amount hangs out from under the door. Noisy hinges I learned about here, post #84: https://www.coloradofans.com/forums/177-2nd-gen-interior/266250-rattle-near-seat-belt-cover-5.html Been out on several trips, and it's working so far, so good. Wish me luck. Best, John
  7. Tried all that. While the rubber boot was slightly loose, this suggestion did not fix my rattle. Back to the drawing board.
  8. 84 ° this afternoon. It seems to do better when it's cold. Best, John, KF5ZMD
  9. Well, she-ott. Fix didn't take. Back to the drawing board!
  10. Oops, I just had the one photo of the seatbelt electric wires. Sorry. The b-pillar cover is all held in with clips. Remove the bottom door sill covers front and back and it all just unclips. Pretty simple. Remove the front and rear door sill plates by lifting them straight up.....the b pillar cover should then come off by firmly pulling it in the exact opposite direction from the post it is attached to. Hope this is helpful, John, KF5ZMD
  11. I am cautiously optimistic that I've found the cure for my passenger side B Pillar ticking. Went through almost every suggestion in this forum. Finally, I removed the lower pillar plastic cover and saw that a couple wires connected to the seat belt mechanism were very close to the cover itself. The wires are at / near floor-level. They were like almost rubbing the cover. See image. I then wire-tied the wires to the metal B Pillar. I noticed in the middle of the B Pillar is a wire bundle. Just for giggles, I wire-tied that wire bundle to the B Pillar, too. Been a dozen or so trips since, and the dreaded B Pillar tick has been fixed. So far. Best, John, KF5ZMD
  12. Mine's been doing good. Received in October. Works fine, thanks. Operates while driving. I programmed it to "not" flash red (brake) lights while in "drive", so I don't get a ticket from the police here in TX. You can program it to "not" flash any lights while in drive, if I recall. You can program the unit to "not" flash the headlights at all, if I remember right. Headlamps do not flash when driving at night. I can't see it voiding a warranty, as I cut no wires, but YMMV. Best to all, John, KF5ZMD
  13. So, was it difficult to remove the upper trim? Are there any tips or tricks? Thanks, John
