New From Colorado!

orville31 · December 16, 2009

Hello, I am new on the forum and am writing from Colorado. I have a black 2007 2500HD Classic Duramax. I love the truck, who wouldn't right? I am having some with a pop clunking noise from under the truck when I turn or take off from a stop. I found a TSB for installing a body mount insulator on the body mounts. I was just wondering if there are others out there that have done this repair? I ask because when I called my local Chevy dealer the parts guy gives me this story that they have never sold these insulators and that he and a few other guys there own the same trucks and have never heard of this repair. So, to make a long story short I think they are off there rocker at the Dealer. I have read alot of stuff out there about this and GM even recognizes it as a repair. Can someone out there give me the low down if this has acually fixed their truck or am I crazy and wasting my time pursuing this repair? Thank from a newbee to the forum..

Orv..

Thanks for the reply. Alot of good information. Have you done this repair to your truck? Reading the replies no one has done the repair yet. I am not taking my truck into the dealer because they can't fix anything. I get tired of making two or three trips for the same issue. I am ex gm tech that does not work as a tech full time because of a back injury but am willing to find alternatives to the dealer.

I have done this repair, however my truck was making more of a creaking sound... not so much a pop/clunk.

With that said, the teflon pads are only $2 each. Im not sure how bad your back injury is... but being an ex tech you should have no problem (mechanical ability wise) installing it.
