I just got my 2010 Silverado in March. In the past month is has started to squeak and rattle. It is all over inside like the whole interior is about to come unattached from the truck. When I drive over uneven road, it's even worse! The whole truck squeaks and pops!! 5 months into this and I am not happy! I called the dealership and they don't know why it's doing that, but to bring it in and they will check it out. My new truck sounds like one that should be 10yrs old!! I take care of my vehicle, it's my baby, so this just upsets me to no end!!

Bought my truck in 2002, prior to buying it, dealer let me take it for a weekend. Truck was rock solid - tight and quiet. I can't imagine buying a brand new truck and then squeaks, rattles or whatever developing a few months later.....

 

The only thing thing you should hear is the motor purring.

 

Dealer must make this go away or refuse the truck. It will only get worse....

I bought my truck used, 05 with 74k miles, and there are a few squeeks and rattles. Would definitely expect a new truck to be quiet for a few years at least.

This probably is not going to do you any good but I thought I'd throw it out anyway. My '04 had some squeaks and rattle when I got it but I solved both. The squeaks where coming from a little metal bar that the ext. cab door clips onto at the top. I greased all the clips were the door attaches and I have had no more squeaks at all. Used to sound like a mouse in there and be so annoying but a little grease fixed that.

The second thing is that I used to hear this type of door rattle when I would drive over bumps. Kinda hard to describe but put you in mind of the door not shutting tight enough. The two things I did was clean and use my paint sealant (i think wax would work to) on the metal inside of all the door. The actual door and on the truck where the weatherstrip contacts. Then I put a thin coat of silicone grease on all my weatherstripping. Solved the problem. Nice and quiet. I can ride a long rough roads with no music and it sounds all tight and sealed up.

Ive noticed a rattle over bumps coming from the rear of mine... The interior does squeak a bit too but I think its jsut the leather..

 

I looked closer at my tailgate and notice one side of it has play and will move up and down, causing quite a racket over bumps. Im pretty sure its jsut the latch on the one side not closing properly and when i get my hands on some lubricant im going to see if that help it close better.

I think this applies to the noises I hear in my cab. I hear a bit of that door not closed all the way sound in mine too. I'll try all of this. thanks for the tips!

I'm not sure whether the silicone grease on the weather stripping, or the coating of the metal inside my doors fixed the issue. I'm thinking one option is that maybe the silicone grease on the rubber weather stripping causes it to swell slightly so it actually is a tighter fit. Or it was a sticking issue where the weather stripping was somewhat gripping the metal and causing some noise. I knew the paint sealer would make the metal feel all slick and glossy. So that could be it. Did away with the friction.

heck of a first post. I agree it should not squeak like that new. I would have the dealer check it out and see what they have to say. My 01 new was great for 50,000 miles then usual noises as wear occurs. My 10 so far so good.

 

Good Luck..

I keep several rolls of this in my tool box (3M Squeak Reduction Tape)..... Works wonders.....

 

I CAN NOT STAND NOISE..... If it does not come from the engine, transmission, differential, exhaust, or tires it should not be present in the cab... Well radio is ok tooo.

      Gas Prices

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      By Newduramaxh*ar · Posted

      Hello, Im in a bit of a bind maybe someone could help me out.  We towed our trailer, up a pretty steep incline (395 north of Bishop) done it before no issues. I got to our campground turn truck off, i restarted the truck about an hour later  and check engine light turns on. Found DTC P2C48,  unable to reset.  This morning i removed the plug, there's 12.12v at the plug. Reservoir near firewall is full of coolant, checked for leaks nothing. I dont hear or feel the pump turning on. My dilemma, is nearest dealer  is 4hrs away that has the pump instock. Is it safe to drive? By me checking the available voltage at the connector and not hearing/feeling pump turn on, is it a bad pump? Please help...

      The figure bandied about is "100 million barrels" so I think a decimal is off somewhere. But that doesn't change the outcome much when the expected flow through the Strait through over the same time should have been more than 2,000,000,000.   So 5%, if that number is even true, and there's sufficient data to believe it's not. Give that man another Fifa peace prize! 5% is less than the flow of a grapefruit-sized prostate blocking the release of cheap lager after a night of bingo.
