Hey Rockfest,

 

Sorry to hear about the rattling in your window. Was this something you wanted to work with your dealership to get this looked at? If you would like any assistance we would be glad to look into this for you, just send us a private message including your name, address, phone number, VIN, current mileage, and preferred dealership.

My drivers side window. It's driving me crazy! And I talked to my dealer and he told me they would push the door tighter so the rattle goes away but then I will hear a wind noise. I asked him I'm paying 40k for a truck that rattles?

Having same issue with
passenger side window, very annoying, especially in light of the fact of one of
Chevy’s selling points is the quietness of the cab. Please post any resolution.



 



Thanks

I found what the problem is. Its the window seal the plastic part about a inch back from the lock on the top part of the door. I wasn't really happy with what the Chevy dealer up the road told me. That its either rattle or wind noises.

Where you able to fix it, or you just found the noise?

Hey Bobfish, Did you have that problem on a 2014? I know this was a problem on the older trucks as I had it on my 2009 Sierra and they lubed the tracks per the TSB as you say and that fixed it.

I too have noise similar to this in my 2014 Z71 LTZ Silverado. I have under 4000 miles and the most annoying noise. VERY FRUSTRATED.

 

Have taken everything, I mean EVERYTHING, out of the truck and still it persists. It sounds to me like the right side of the dash, or passenger door and it is vibration related. Loudest on the highway.

 

I have seen in other forums that it could be a mudflap that is loose and reverberating up the truck through the dash?

 

Heard it could be the speaker being loose itself, the door panel/window seal or something unknown behind the dash.

 

My local chevy dealership in Elgin, IL agreed there was noise and I have an appt set for next Monday for them to take apart the dash and search this thing out...

 

very unhappy so far with this deal. I love chevy and the truck looks and drives great, but a 45-50K truck should not have a noise like this. Just unreal.

 

Any firm solutions or data on this topic would be appreciated. I can assure you that I will post what happens at the dealer on Monday for the group.

 

To the land of loaner dealer vehicles, here I come....

FOUND IT. JUST BELOW THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH IS A PLASTIC SHROUD OR COVER WITH SOME ELECTRONICS IN IT. ANYHOW... THIS PLASTIC PEICE HOUSES SOME COMPONENTS AND IS HELD UP BY 2 RIVETS. WHEN YOU TAP THEM WITH YOUR OPEN HAND IT RATTLES AND MAKES THE NOISE. IF YOU PRESS UPWARDS WITH PRESSURE ON THAT PC THE RATTLE GOES AWAY WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO WEDGE A SOCK BETWEEN THE GAP BETWEEN THIS PC AND THE PLASTIC SURROUNDING THE BACK OF THE CENTER CONSOLE. THIS HAS STOPPED THE NOISE WHILE IN MOTION ALMOST FULLY. I WILL BE ABLE TO SHOW THE DEALER AND REPLICATE IT FOR HIM ON MONDAY AND WILL TAKE SOME PICS AND LET YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT THEY DO TO FIX IT.

THANKS

      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.
