I brought my new 16 SIerra into the dealer yesterday to take care of a few rattles. One in the upper dash around the windshield and another that seemed to be under or behind the steering column or gauges. They called me a few hours later and said both were fixed under an existing bulletin. They added insulation to under the trim piece along the dash where it meets the windshield and the same bulletin called for insulation against an inverter under the steering column area. I don't have the bulletin number with me right now.

 

I haven't heard the rattle under the steering column again yet but the dash one is still there - sounds different now but still there so I plan to take it back next week.

 

Anyone else have experience with these rattles?

I have a 15 Sierra sle, and it started making a rattling noise up by the left dash speaker. I have not taken it in yet as I'm afraid they will mess with it and make it worse. Prob have them look at it next oil change.

order some felt tape on amazon, and apply to the edges on your dash (the long piece that sits against the windshield and speaker covers), you'll have to remove the a pillar covers to get it out, but $12 and 35 minutes I was done. I'll try to find the pics on my phone.

I have this sound that sounds like a small rock chip hitting my windshield up where the dash and windshield meet occassionally. Like a lil cracking sound. I check my windshield every time and theres no actual crack.

 

(no its not actual rock chips hitting the windshield)

Ever find those pics?

 

Used tape like this? http://www.amazon.com/Yosoo-Universal-Flannel-Squeak-Adhesive/dp/B0169U1X7I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458302933&sr=8-1&keywords=automotive+felt+tape

The small thin black is from the factory felt, the wider loooong strips are mine

Sorry it too so long, I had to search Facebook for them as I deleted them from my phone. I'm doing this from a work computer which is a no no, so I'll post link of tape later. Hope this helps

Thanks.

 

is that tape in the circled area too? are those tabs that insert into something? i haven't taken that piece off to investigate yet.

 

what about those metal clips i pointed to? those are the source of squeaking?

Was your rattle when just driving or due to the bass from the radio? I have a rattle due to the bass and it seems to be on the passenger side. I was trying to determine if these pictures might apply to my situation. I've had the rattle since day one of ownership and just can't deal with it anymore.

That sounds more like a bad or loose speaker. I would take it in. The dash speakers are supposed to be high passed so could it be coming from the door?

I think mine is the plastic piece up by windshield. If I hold it it stops.

yes i wrapped the tabs, but used a screwdriver to open the clips. no more rattles.

 

To the guy asking about radios- it rattled regardless of radio operation.

Mine does the same thing, it drives me and my wife crazy. i cant seem to find the source, but it rattles when music is playing.

Another culprit is the daylight sensor (little half circle shaped that hooks up to the same piece)

 

Add some padding between that and the socket it goes in, good luck!

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
