Hey Guys!

 

for the last couple of days i have noticed a clunking noise from the rear of my truck when i am moving slow through parking lots and ect...

 

it seems to happen when there is a lateral force exerted on the rear of the truck...

 

i can make the nosie when i push on the truck and make it rock myself...

 

everything underneath the truck looks A.OK, no signs of metal to metal contact or loose bolts!

 

anyone else come across somethig like this??

 

:(

i have not experienced anything lik that yet!! hopefully not ever! it is just strange that i can get it to make the noise with the truck shut off and me rocking it!!

 

I jacked up the truck tonight and found a bit of what i would call axle side play which could be making the noise i am trying to refer too, possibly a bearing adjustment is needed to correct my problem.. i'm going to be going to the dealer tomorrow after work and see what they say!!

yeah i have and they check out fine!!

 

it goes into the dealership tomorrow for an auto door lock repair and they will be looking at the clunk complaint have aswell.

i can only assume it is suspension related, (possible leaf springs moving??) since it clunks when the truck is in motion and i start swaying the truck back and forth ( lateral force ), and when i can make it clunk myself by rocking the truck!!

 

i will let you guys know what the dealership says after tomorrow

Yeah, if it is lateral force, then it is not that driveline clunk.

 

In one of the threads it talked about the fuel tank causing clunking under certain conditions. Don't know if that's it, but IIRC it said it stopped when you filled the gas tank full. If it is doing it with a full tank, then something else. Make sure to let us know what they find.

I have the same exact problem. I'd like to know what it is also, so if anybody finds out for sure, that would be great

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
