The "infamous, Jingle, jingle" sound strikes again! There is a very long thread on here about it. Here, I believe, is the latest fix for it. PIP5653M

The chrome piece is held on by double stick tape. I took the end caps off and used a heat gun and warmed a short section of the chrome strip and gradually pulled it off, working my way up the length of the strip.

It sounds like it may be what this thread is talking about.

That tic does not sound anything like the JingleJingle sound mine did, my guess is you have something else going on.

Here's a bulletin that might apply, PIP5653L Squeak Chirp noise from front axle in 2wd.

There are screws underneath.

Yes, no damage was done to them, just go slow and use a heat gun.

Yes, a couple strips of 3m double sided tape.

Yes

I do miss it, the SSS's are one of the best looking factory sport trucks made. They aren't the fastest, but it was a great all around head-turning truck. It towed my 20' Searay like it wasn't even there. Oh and I drove mine in the winter with dedicated snow tires and if I stomped on it on compact snow it would dig and go! Great truck!

I got tired of waiting for an SS model so I sold my 03 SS that I bought new off the showroom floor, and bought my 19 High Country. I would definitely take a look at one if they came out with one.

As I posted somewhere back in this thread, mine has quit making the noise. I even used electronic hearing protection to amplify the sound, just to make sure. And now, looking at the pic's just posted, I'm guessing with constant metal to metal wear, mine just wore down on its own. Warm weather should be here soon, and I'll listen for it again.

Snowed a little the other night.

Yes, I use premium, it's 92 octane, but it is also non-ethanol. I've been running it since 2003 when I bought my Silverado SS. Do I need it, maybe not, but whats a few penny's here and there.
