Dealer replaced the fuel feed tube and........no difference whatsoever.  Guess I will go test drive some Fords or Rams.  Can't deal with that sounds for the next 4-5 years I planned to own this truck.

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

this sucks. I don't want to get rid of the truck but I will lose my sanity listening to this for the next 5+ years

Same here.  My wife thinks I'm crazy, but she doesn't drive it.  I feel like I need to trade it in/sell it while it's still high value.  Dealer trade KBB is only $4k less than I paid.  Seems worth it for a year old truck.

My father has a new 5.7 ram and i like it but not more than my truck.. and I don't like the new fords at all. I can't imagine being happy with those because I like this truck a lot other than the sound. I want to somehow make a big enough stink that GM gets involved and figures it out

While I understand and agree that it’s annoying, we all can agree it’s most likely harmless. I think it’s a little excessive to trade it in over the noise, but it’s your truck and money. I’m gonna drive it till something expensive breaks after warranty and trade it in. Mine is paid off in a couple years so seems more worth to wait till I own it and don’t have to pay back the loan when I go for the next truck.

I like the Rams a lot.  Ford's for some reason is way expensive with a lot less features.  Quality is no better.  I don't think GM cares or knows how to fix it.  I've seen on Camaro and Corvette forums of people complaining of similar issues.  I suspect it's some by-product of the direct injection, variable displacement engines.  95% of people don't notice stuff like this, so they won't fix it as long as the trucks keep selling.

I just went and test drove a 2018 Ram 1500 Midnight Edition, and was not impressed at all.  The interior fit and finish was terrible.  Lacked a couple of features that I enjoy about my GMC.  That truck had a sticker of $55k, with $11k in rebates.  About the same as what my GMC was last year.  They didn't low ball me on the trade offer, but I don't think it's worth taking a $7k hit to buy a newer truck that isn't nicer (but will at least not make that noise).  Might be time to bolt on a cat back exhaust and mask some of the ticking, and have my wife buy something bigger than an IS250 to take the family on road trips (cant crank up the stereo when the kids are asleep in the back).

yep been thinking about cat backs recently to help cover up some of it hopefully. i drove my fathers ram about 1000 miles towing this winter when we didn’t take my truck snowmobiling and like i said i like it but i couldn’t imagine having that every day instead of the gm.

They won't.  You are nothing to them.  They don't care if you go to another brand.

Went to the dealership, they told me the "Tech confirmed this characteristic is normal" when I spoke to the adviser on the phone. I gave him the TSB # again and said it's not acceptable and it is clearly not normal if there is a TSB to address the issue. I insisted it be driven a little more, and a little harder, with the foreman. Adviser called me back and said "We cant duplicate it but we will perform the TSB anyways". 

 

When I get to the dealer the paperwork doesn't mention anything about parts being replaced or anything about the TSB. All it says is "Tech confirmed the noise is normal characteristic". I asked the service advisor that if they performed the TSB then why is it not documented? He said "If we documented it then GM would have to pay us on the service and this is not something we are allowed to get paid on". 

 

I feel like they didn't do anything to the truck.

Dropped it off 8am this morning at another dealer. 4:30pm and they said they don't know what it is and haven't tried replacing anything. No matter how many times I tried to give them the TSB# they refused to take it down.

 

Picked up loander at 6pm. Adviser said they will call GM in the morning.

5pm Friday update. All techs left, didn't try changing any parts, they "have no clue" according to the advisor. I asked if they called GM and the adviser couldn't give me an answer. He said they saw the TSB I kept talking about but said it's not related. I beg to differ, it sounds exactly the same. They said keep the loaner through the weekend and they'll have an update on Tuesday. That means by EOD Tuesday it'll be in the shop for 6 full days.

Dealer called me today, said to come pick up my truck. After 6 full days, they have no answer and say nothing is wrong. They only started it 3 times in the 6 days for under 1 minute (probably just moving it around on their lot) and didn't even put 1 mile on the odometer.

Wow, same issues with 2017 suburban. Two of my neighbors bought the same truck and no tick. Mine has it. Random, hear it on drivers side, heard in drive throughs at times, cruising on highway or driving slow around 1500 to 2k rpms. Brought it in 3 separate times. They finally said they're performing the below. We'll see how it goes, but I'm not optismistic.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      When I was there, most to all did not have an hour meter. They just did 5000 miles on regular vehicles and 3000 on police stuff. The modern oil change monitors should take into account engine hours, weather, etc. I don`t use the monitor on my stuff. I pull the stick, look at it, smell it, rub it between my fingers, etc. That`s my oci.   I have had many engines. Some bracket race. No problems doing things my way. I was in the mechanic business for 30 yrs or so. I still do things the old school way. Don`t care who laughs at me.   Understand, I was in the main shop. We didn`t do oil changes or tires. We had a service station for that. I don`t remember the hours they used for tractors, lawn mowers, etc. Something in my head says 250 hours.

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.
