My 2014 Silverado is at 120,000 and running just as good as day one, not one issue with it. I know there’s problems out there, but complaining to others saying “should of bought a ford” doesn’t help

Just got this from a buddy at my local dealer. Looks like Chevy is aware and they are working on a fix. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is mine.  
 


Yep that’s it. I really don’t think it’s anything to do with the engine, It has to be that fuel pressure check valve or exhaust. This is on every motor across the half ton GM segment, I’ve heard the 6 cylinder do it and 5.3 and 6.2

Yep another good clip of it. I'll try to make a video of mine just to have. But yeah I agree. If one of you guys has good luck at your dealerships I will just call a different one than I went to yesterday and be more forceful in wanting the line replaced

So my truck still makes the noise. Fuel feed pipe didn’t work. It sounds like it’s literally right below my feet. Most annoying sound in the world. Bummer too because it’s such a nice looking truck.

Dropped mine off this morning and showed them the TSB.  Talked to a technician and he said they have dealt with the fuel line issue before, and exhaust leaks where the y-pipe joins the rest of the exhaust.  Service manager said they replaced a fuel line last week and so far haven't heard back from the folks so hopefully it was fixed.  I am slightly optimistic this will resolve my issue, and will report back when I get my truck.  As a back-up plan, there are good deals on Ram trucks right now!

I could have sworn I’ve seen a fuel check line exactly like the one in the TSB underneath the truck driver side right where the sound comes from, I bet that’s the source of the noise.

Please don’t forget to update us!! I’m going Wednesday and might not mention it if you didn’t get it resolved.

The line in question is between the high pressure pump and the feed line from the tank.  I took a stethoscope to the line in the engine and at the tank and there was a loud pulsation sound.  I could feel the line at the tank vibrating with my hand.  I am really hopefully this is the fix.  I really like my truck except for this sound.

I know that’s what is in the tsb but I’m saying I’ve seen a line like that underneath the truck also. I hope it is the fix but I’m not holding my breath either now since packerchev said it didn’t help his. Did you listen to this at idle? Cause mine is quiet until I’m in drive pressing the gas, it does it every once in a while on a cold start up though.

Did you check it with the light acceleration? because your video definitely represents the sound well, I just don't think you'd be getting it at idle

In the cab, I don't really hear  it at idle.  I can sometimes hear the buzzing part of it when I turn the truck on and it revs up.  I can hear it under light acceleration too.  Slow speeds, cruising speeds, it doesn't matter as long as throttle is being applied.  Much louder when towing my 5000lb boat. 

 

With the stethoscope, I could hear it at idle for sure.  I made my son rev the engine for me and the clicking got faster, and above about 2000rpm it was a buzzing.  The fits what I hear when the truck is being driven.  Its more of a chugging at lower RPMs and a buzzing at higher RPM.

Yeah, like I said your in cab video captures the sound well. I think I will try to poke around with my stethoscope and have someone find that low rpm spot where it really clicks. Maybe check under the truck where MOhunter mentioned there is a similar fuel line on the driver side

It really clicks at idle with the stethoscope, just can't hear it in the cab.  There are several of those black braided flex hoses in the fuel system.  Everywhere it make a bend they have one of them.  I don't suspect that any of the rest of them have faulty/clicky check valves in them.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
