It's good to know quite a few people have a similar issue, but it's a bit concerning no one has a fix?

2 more things to check   see if your cylinder #7 exhaust bolt broke off. these exhaust manifold bolts are prone to shearing off. take a look at the driver side exhaust manifold-to-cyl head bolts,

I had a rattle every so often on my truck also. I did the heat sheild and coolant tank but no help. Then I found a tsb about the battery cable being close to the oil dipstick and it would vibrate a

Hey I got the clicking to stop here is what i did. took off the heat shield and located a crack in the exhaust manifold. then I used a product QuickSteel for high temperature can pick it up at any auto parts store I then mixed it up till it looked like toothpaste. then I let it stand for about four and a half hours before testing I went around the block and the noise was gone. I would let it stand for 24 hours though if I were you before you test it when I tested mine it made a giant bubble. Fortunately it held and I just pushed it back in place.I'm not sure how long it will hold up but for 10 busks and 10 minutes of work time its worth a shot verse 150 bucks and between 1-3 hours of work time. At least we know what the sound is and can fix it now.

Can anyone confirm that they have the same noise that is in Z06killers video ? also found at this link

 

It is exactly what I have. Almost sounds driveline related, possible axle or front drive shaft being that it is AWD. It does NOT make the sound during rev only under driving acceleration.

 

 

 

I do hate the sound but more interested in making sure it isnt something major that can go out on me while driving.

Yes, I have the exact same problem and noise that just started last week.

Starter kick out spring is weak or washer that holds the kick out fork is coming loose/off the grove inside the starter, let's it touch the flywheel at times. Also from what others have said possibly crack in the manifold..

      2001 GMC Sierra - Banging feeling in steering wheel

      By txab · Posted

      Without knowing how bad your banging is, one suggestion is the intermediate steering shaft on the steering wheel. These used to be a problem on 800 and earlier series. The feeling/sound was sometimes described as "clunking" and was felt in the wheel. Also there is a plastic piece in the lower column that is referred to as a bearing. Not your traditional looking bearing though. Your ball joints, bushings and tie rods or steering rack (if equipped) are the main point of issues. You never mention total unit miles, only that you've put 60k on it.   You can search the site for help on the ISS description. Plenty of these have been replaced   https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=site%3Agm-trucks.com+intermediate+steering+shaft&ia=web

      Yes I have is set with the 1mm disk (Minumim Tension), for spring spacing and I raised my truck in the rear 1.5". You can go 2mm  and I think 3mm if you need.Minimum. We are on our way to TN from GA.. My wife is driving and stated she cannot believe  and   stated she can not belive the difference.

      Most 1 ton trucks come with the factory overload spring, which need to be removed for installation of RoadActive Suspension. Removing the overload allows proper fitment and ensures the system works as intended. The RAS® Mega-Duty kit will reduce squat and provide significant improvement vs the factory overload spring.

      I wonder as well, why they would send me a text message with links to these suggested procedures totalling over $10,000 without even the slightest hint of how they arrived at these being necessary.

      https://precisionlubrication.com/articles/oil-filter-efficiency/     For them it is a problem of $$$$ and compliance. To cover both they have to lie from the heart.    Government wants low waste oil numbers so the bar needs to be very low on contamination to met that requirement.  Consumer wants cheap maintenance (perceived cost). Again requiring a low bar.  OEM wants high margins at a cost effective warranty rate and lots of repeat customers. More low bar.  Filter manufacture wants the same thing the OEM wants. See the pattern?   Consumers are fickle and also want perfection requiring a HIGH bar. Inconsistent with all of the above. Consumers can be, when the put their minds to it, inquisitive, love winning arguments which requires some useful information to be available to support them. And this is where it gets sticky and the lies begin.    Information needs a solid well grounded point of reference if we are to compare in a useful way. There is a standard for this.  ISO 4548-12. This standard sets the particle size at a specific Beta ratio and darn few are faithful to its intent.    If they don't state the test method they change the particle size or the Beta ratio to hit a perceived favorable standard. They obscure the information in a way as to prevent direct comparisons leaving the consumer with one method. UOA's with an ISO 4406 test result. Pricey and not allot of labs willing to do the work. Lobby work happens everywhere, not just at the seat of government.
