Thanks brother. Going to call the dealership and see if I can get it fixed on Monday.

So,

I have the same problem as the video. I took it in a month ago, and they decided to swap the steering column. This did fix the problem. After 10 days, the problem, came back. Dealership couldn't replicate on the second trip yesterday, until I came in a pointed it out. So I will be taking it back next week when I have time, but want to give them some better directions. (which is sad, in itself). Anyone else have any ideas? I did see the post above about the steering gear. Was your steering gear issue the same, as far as sound in the video? Thanks guys.

I had this problem start at 18k miles. After 3 attemps I think gm finally fixed it. They replaced the column and inserted some clip and in a tsb report. Both failed but they finally replaced rack and pinion.

Has anyone had a permanent fix on this problem? The dealership has replaced my rack and pinion and now the noise is back. They are now trying to blame it on my leveling kit.

I have the same noise

SierraNova · October 31, 2015

I can tell you that the noise started for me within 5 days of installing my leveling kit. Dealership replaced steering column, then intermediate shafts and that didn't work. Then replaced the steering gear/rack and that fixed it. I belive the leveling kit did affect the rack personally.

Thanks for the reply, which leveling kit did you install?

It was the 2 1/2 inch tough country setup with upper and lower spacer.

Did the dealership give you a hard time about your leveling kit?

SierraNova · October 31, 2015

No, but I wouldn't be surprised if some dealerships did. Atleast as far as the rack goes.

Mine only does it when it's warm also. Do you have a leveling kit? Even if we all do have leveling kits, it's still a gm problem for a cheap rack. Is it the only truck on the market that can't be leveled?
