I have a 2017 Sierra that for the past month I can smell coolant every time I walk by the front of my truck. I'm not low on coolant, can't see any leaks and haven't ever noticed steam. I know my dealership will just say its normal as they have with almost every issue I've had. Do the bad radiators and thermostats extend to 17s?

I'll try that when I get a chance. Thx

My noise is back and more annoying than ever. I'll be bringing my truck back to the dealership. It was fixed for about a month

I had this noise for over a year on my 2017 Sierra. I had the steering shaft boot replaced and the vacuum pump replaced and I am happy to report that the noise is gone!!

I had my vacuum pump and steering shaft boot replaced this weekend and I'm happy to report that the noise is finally gone. I don't know which was the culprit or if it was a combination of both but the noise is gone.

I have one on my 17 Sierra, definitely makes in more responsive and you can dial in how much response you want. They have great customer service also. My controller was all scratched so I emailed them a picture of it and they sent me a brand new one super quickly.

I do have your noise also, its only when the truck is cold after it warms up it stops. Dealer said it was normal. I also have another noise that sounds like an exhaust leak only under acceleration. These "normal" noises are making me consider a Ford.

Thanks for the info. I've been to my dealership 3 times for this noise, 1st they said bad gas then they said they don't know what it is so its normal. It's driving me nuts.

I would also like more info. I read your posts on doing it, way out of my league. How much do you think the overall cost would be to have a mechanic do this? My truck is still under warranty so I might see if they will just replace it for now.

I had this issue on my 17 Sierra, the only fix is to bring it to the dealer and have them update the nav. Its a common problem, search it up, there are a bunch of threads on this.

You need to go back to the dealer and get an update. Only way to dim it.

Guy at work has a Rebel, he had a Chevy. Another guy bought a 2019 Ram and got rid of his Chevy. 5 other guys at work have a GM truck all K2s, 3 out of the 5 have issues and are looking at a different truck. 4 guys have Rams and love them, no issues to report on them but all are fairly new. Only one guy has a F150 with the Ecoboost and he loves it.

I've owned a GM truck since 99 so the thought of buying a Ford almost feels like cheating. And it isn't the normal direct injection tick. Its different.

I just read all 37 pages of that thread, I don't think that is this problem. The 1st half of the thread was dealing with this exhaust leak sound then it changed to a ticking sound. My truck ONLY makes the sound driving under light load. It does not make the noise idling or in neutral reving the engine. The 1st guys in that thread mostly appeared to just trade their truck in for a different brand. I have been test driving Fords for the last week but I'm having trouble pulling the trigger.

Just got my truck back. Dealer said all the noises I'm hearing are normal. I'm going to a different dealer to see if they can figure out this noise. It drives me crazy. Does anyone with a tune from Blackbear hear this noise? Im wondering if a tune would help somehow.
