    Not quite sure what the intent of this comment was. The video makes them look balder than they really are, but they are getting there. I put a lot of miles on and keep it mechanic maintained. It goes in about every month and a half for an oil change and has recently received a brand new transmission, front diff, had the rear diff completely gone through, and *most* of the suspension replaced. I bought it used and it had a lot of problems, but it’s slowly getting there. Next on the list is body work. After some new tires of course

    Yeah I noticed the spare tire as well. Got the handle for it out and made sure it way all the way up, which it was. As for the exhaust, when I was down there I did see that my hangers are quite literally hanging on for dear life. New ones have been ordered

    Hi, I have a 2014 Sierra and it’s been making this really loud rattle every time I hit a bump for a couple years now. Would’ve had it fixed by now if it weren’t for all the other, bigger issues that constantly pop up. I’ve always assumed it was my leaf springs, so I went ahead and replaced all the leaf spring isolators, and also went ahead and added a few of my own. I have a total of 8 isolators on each leaf spring and it still makes the noise. It sounds like a crappy old boat trailer going down the road at this point. I assume these are the original springs at almost 200k miles, but the fact that they still make the noise even with the isolators leads me to believe it may be something else. I’ve hammered and wiggled everything under there, but the only way to recreate it is to drive. If I need new springs, I’ll do that, but I figured I’d check and see if anyone else has had this problem and how they fixed it. I was able to mount my GoPro and get it on video, here’s the link YouTube link to video

    This has also occurred to me. When I first got the truck all of the electronics had crazy issues and we could never figure it out. Eventually needed a new battery and it fixed almost everything. I’m taking it in on Wednesday for some routine maintenance and I’m gonna have the battery checked out.

    I don’t have a multimeter, and I will pick one up if necessary, but I do have a simple test light and tested some fuses. I wasn’t able to get fuse 33 in the engine block (reverse lamps) to light up even with the truck in reverse.

    Not a salvage, but I have discovered previous body work in the rear passenger side of the bed. The carfax also shows that it needed 6k in repairs to the front passenger side. I’ve never thought the two could be connected but now I’m wondering if this thing got absolutely destroyed. How can I check if a circuit is good?

    I’m not asking if I should get a new truck. It is simply out of the question for reasons I don’t need to explain. Most of the problems have been fixed by me, but there are some things that I’m just not equipped to tackle myself. I’m willing to at least try to fix these things myself, which is why I’m here.

    This is my first post so sorry if I’m all over the place. I’ve had my 2014 Sierra slt for about two years now. I got it with 116k miles and I’m at about 174k right now. Since the day I’ve bought the truck it’s been nothing but issues. You name it, it’s happened. Four separate water leaks (sunroof, gps antenna, third brake light, and cab vents), 2 transfer case control modules, problems with the power steering going out, brakes going out at low speeds. A couple of months ago my transmission went out and it also needed various other repairs totaling over $20k. Now my park assist sensors don’t work, my rear doors don’t open from the inside and also don’t lock from the outside, reverse lights and camera don’t work, and it constantly dings at me to service my trailer brake system (seriously, it chimes at me about every two seconds as I’m going down the road, telling me to service the trailer brakes). I’ve gone through and checked every ground I can find and nothing helps. Today I went through every single fuse and relay in the truck. I found a couple of blown fuses and replaced as needed, but still no change. I’m at a loss for what to do at this point as I’m stuck with the truck after all the money I’ve sunk into it. Does anybody maybe have any solutions to any of these problems? I’m desperate for answers, anything helps.
