I have a 2008 extended cab Silverado. I am so tired of hearing my doors rattle at low speeds!! Has anyone else had this problem? How easy is this to fix? I don't feel like losing my truck for the day at the dealers!!

Take care,

Matt

mine does it...if i don't slam the driver back one try opening it and giving it a good slam

I've tried that. No luck it only seems to happen when driving about 20 mph or slower its very annoying!! It's getting worse too. It would do that once in awhile now, it's all the time!!

I had the door rattle in my 2002 Tahoe, On mine the locking rod rides in a couple plastic blocks which at 100,000 miles are not as tight as they once were. To eliminate this rattle I coated the rod with grease for about 2 inches in an area between the plastic blocks but where I thought it would stop the rattle. Then I squeased black silicone out of a tube around this rod and up against the door. The grease keeps the silicone from bonding to the rod allowing it to slide in the silicone after it drys. Must let it sit for 12-24 hours to dry and adhere to the door. Not the ideal fix but a fix is a fix right? New plastic clips to hold this rod tight would most likely have done the same thing.

Your truck is somewhat newer, so im not sure it has the same problem. My 05 had a heck of a rattle on the driver side doors (ext cab). The hinges were completely worn out, causing the door to sag, to the point the top of the doors were touching. New hinges helped, but still had a rattle. Had to adjust the latches on the ext door to pull it in tighter and now its all gone.

My GMT900 drivers door started rattling over rough roads and potholes about a year ago. I pulled the interior panel off and checked everything. Could not find anything loose. Dealer tried to fix it once and said they could not replicate the noise. 2nd time around they heard it and replaced the striker pin and it has been dead silent ever since. I'm knocking on wood.......... :lol: Hope this helps..

Now that sounds like a plan... Then all you need to do is paint a number 1 on your doors and change your name to Bo Duke :lol:

I have the same truck so this is somewhat related, but the plastic piece under the driver's wheel on my Silverado rattles. The assembly attached under the plastic piece had to be taken off because it was clanking bad, but it still rattles which is pretty annoying. Anybody else have this annoyance?

 

I haven't had the door rattle yet, but Ill be looking out for it now.

I can sympathize with your problems because my 1999 Mazda 626 just developed an extremely annoying and loud door rattle somewhere in the front passenger door and it is driving me up the wall. But after rattle free 261K miles, I should not complain too much. No rattles in the truck yet. It seems that crew cabs are less prone to door rattles than extended cabs.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
