I have been running 93 octane for about 5 tanks and I’ve not hear the rattling sound. It’s pretty much gone.

I have no ideas.

Taking my truck to a shop on Friday to try and diagnose this issue. Mine has been getting louder. I will let you all know what they say. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So all you did was run the 93 and it went away?  You had the same one as me, driver's side by the left foot?

It was driver side firewall and it sounded like someone rattling can with marbles. It happened when I put load on engine going up a grade.

I switched to 93 octane fuel and it stopped.

I ended up getting a 93 octane tune from Diablew and plan to just run 93 from now on.

I've only run 93 from top tier fuel stations, got rid of the flapper valve and use the range device and my truck still does it. Brought it in twice and dealer has no clue. Might try a different dealer but after that I'm going to punt. Maybe trade it in on a 2020 Bronco if its a 2 door and the top comes off.

I as well suffer from the "marbles in a can" noise coming from the driver's side firewall/under foot area. It sounds like it's right down by the parking brake/door speaker (which inexplicably blew, and now sounds awful). 

 

Curious if anyone has any updates on this or things to check other than the exhaust clamps. Also, where do you all find 93 octane gas? All the stations around where I live in the Redmond, Wa area only have up to 92 octane.

 

Cheers!

Update... I just filled my 8th tank of 93 this morning and the marbles are still rattling as loud as ever.  Baffles me that GM refuses to address this issue.  I've had enough and am seriously considering trading it in.

Is your truck tuned? By who?

I got mine to stop with 93.

I could never hear or produce it when I was stock.

Bone stock, no tune or nothing.

Stopped into a dealer yesterday (not my normal trashcan dealer). Took their shop foreman on a ride and the truck was being quieter than normal. It was making the noise slightly but the guy couldn't here it. Probably depends a lot on your high range hearing loss. When I had the screeching TCM fixed 3 or so guys in the shop couldn't hear it so I took a younger sales guy for a ride and sure enough he said man that sound is annoying. 

 

Just picked up a mostly rust free 88 Dodge D250 last night. Needs some Carb work and a few small things. It is much smoother and rides better than the 28 year newer Silverado...Oh, the drive-line also doesn't clunk while downshifting. 

 

Chevy is getting pretty close to being traded for a nice Jeep GC or another Ram.

Before you throw in the towel go to the Ram or Ford forums and lurk awhile. Just guessing but there will be a few over there threatening to leave and go to the others.

 

These are complex mechanisms being managed by complex systems of computers and sensors. I learned a long time ago in many instances I know more about some of these things than some dealer mechanics. And Like any field some just don't belong in that job. If you feel a dealer mechanic is not addressing go to a different one and try again. Dealers do have online reviews also.

 

An old trick way back was to take a tube or copper pipe and put it up to your ear while it is making noise and move the end around to uni-directionally locate airborne noise. To locate internal mechanical noises get a stethoscope with a metal rod probe. HF has them for a few bucks.

 

My old Furd had an exhaust flange gasket leak when it was cold that sounded like a lifter tick. Once it warmed up it would stop. Wasnt worth fixing it.

under load.. sounds like might be a manifold leak.. I've had a couple manifolds replaced on my f150 for this.. it's a VERY common issue with Ford.. worth checking the manifolds at a good exhaust/muffler shop.. not the dealer

I have tightened bolt all over the exhaust. Problem is mine only appears when hot. Other times it will go away. I swear it’s something either inside the cat, transmission, or fuel system. This basically means I have no clue and apparently neither does the techs I’ve visited.

I had service at the dealer for an oil change for the 3rd time. For the 3rd time I've complained about the same thing. They finally said there was an exhaust sound coming from the manifold area on the driver side but GM said it was normal for these trucks. Somedays, it drives me bonkers.

      Not sure about DFM tech but i know there's a stop/start deactivation button.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      Navigating senior years.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
