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

Nice to see potential progress on this.  I traded it my '17 Sierra Ultimate because of this (and lack of rear ac & bsm).  Happy with my F150 (no ticking) - hope it gets resolved, other than the transmission clunk and the AFM tick - it drove nice...

what the hell are you smoking?  I live in the truck capital of the united states and there are 10 old Chevy trucks to ever 1 Ford and Dodge.  Sorry son, your argument don't hold shit around here. 

Lol, Exactly?  I live in No salt, no rust capitol of the united states and there are probably 10 Chevy trucks to every 1 Ford..It's apparently obvious here because there is no corrosion whatsoever!  What is left on the road is pure overall durability and maintenance and some luck......and they are simply not Ford trucks....

Update. As the noise gets worse you can down shift in manual mode to make it more audible while off the throttle. If you mash the brakes enough to get the nose of the truck to drop the sound will stop. I can replicate this any time at any speed at any rpm. Just keep some peddle to maintain load on the engine. 

 

So, that means there’s is either something moving downward and or forward that is causing the noise or the engine is moving slightly downward or slightly forward making the noise stop. 

 

Everyone with this noise noise give this a shot and see if it holds true.

Confirmed on mine as well.

Mine stops when going over a bump like rail tracks. I wonder what the commonality is between both conditions, braking and the bump?

Slight movement of the engine. I can't think of anything else.

My thoughts too. So I wonder are the motor mounts the root cause?

I highly doubt it’s the motor mounts. My money is on an exhaust leak at the sealing donut from manifold to pipe. It’s load dependent and usually exhaust leaks are pretty pronounced under load. 

 

My mounts were were replaced for shitty idle. (Still idles rough anyways) I believe the manifolds were removed to do so. I never had a peep out of the engine before that service was performed. 

 

God if help us if something internal is effected by external factors. Hopefully I’m finished with it next week sometime when I’m driving something different.

I've got long tube headers and an aftermarket cat back. Ball flange was replaced with a V band. Noise is still there

Shit I forgot you did that. So, it has to be fuel system related ?  I was laying under mine the other day with it in park and it sounded pretty noisy in the torque converter area. It seems like in my truck the noise only happens in TQ lockup. I wonder if it has something to do with the TQ. I just can’t see a smaller force like braking effecting that. 

 

Maybe its it’s a fuel supply or return line moving around ? I zip tied my return line at a different angle the other day and that didn’t change anything.

Fuel or transmission is the best I can figure

Only other thing I can think of is something in the valve train. Mine got louder after long tubes.

What about pcv solenoid noise? I just can’t understand how it would be valvetrain noise as it only happens after warming up the engine.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
