My service manager and service tech acknowledged the tick finally! They tried new fuel line and new style exhaust clamp, but still ticks. He said to bring it back until it's fixed, so that's good news. They're really trying.

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

Ask them to check anything to do with the electric power steering...the noise goes away when you turn the wheel (see my post yesterday). As 2016LTCC mentioned, it's probably putting pressure on wherever the metallic rattling noise is coming from.

 

Steering:

-ties rods/"rack & pinion" pack/steering mounts/bolts/steering shaft/steering shaft boot (which is snug against the break master cylinder - could be making noise)/front suspension & breaks/or anything the steering assembly is touching directly.

Need to Check the Vacuum Pump for ticking noises.

Often this is overlooked.

A Ticking Vaccum Pump = Ticking Time Bomb! :fart:

I wrote a long survey to the last maintenace and gave 0 stars. It was very polite and manager immediately called me next day. He rode in truck with me for 1 hour. He could easily replicate it by letting off gas and barely pushing pedal. Tick tick tick. He said he will work it until fixed. I'm gonna try the procedure you guys did before I bring it in next week.l and then show him if it works on mine.

Yep, let me see if I can replicate first.

Ticking sound is common with the 5.3’s.

So dropped off the truck this morning. Mentioned the noise and explained that there was some play in the water pump pulley.

 

Just got a call that the play is normal. No sound detected on a test drive.

And on the drive home it ticked like a muther under load. Disappeared after I turned a corner though. Both right and left turns. Came back in between the turns though.

Was it a hard job?

Jobs not hard but then again I’ve been doing this work for many years. 150 dollar gamble on the ticking noise and the house won again. I just read a review on the 2019 Silverado and apparently the ride and interior haven’t improved so it’s safe to assume other issues may follow. I understand the grass may not be greener on the other side but when I start to compare gm to ford or ram it’s like nothing about my truck is a winner other than the looks. I think Chevy went backwards with the new model making it look and ride like a 2014 tundra.

Fellas I’m done ranting about these pos gm trucks. If I wasn’t in the middle of a move and new home purchase I’d be rid of this truck. I’d like to find a fix to this ticking noise and share with all of you but at this point on top of the ride, interior, axles, and leaf springs... sorry I mean the whole truck Ill be trading for the first good ford or ram deal I find. Cheers

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
