Do you have the bulletin number?
Dropped mine off Monday and showed them pip5570a. They're applying a new boot. I showed them the grease trick and explained how it was working and all makes sense. I just forwarded them the previous message about something behind the dash also rattling possibly. I'll let you all know when I get it back.

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

I'm at work and don't have the paperwork with me but I believe they said they found the rattle around the bottom of the radio housing

Got my truck back after I showed them the pip5570A Tsb. No ticking thus far and took some pics of the new boot. Looks like they put some grease in there too. Will report back in a week.39477b25fb0f40cbc47205e040dd9aea.jpg195024bfae4bc1c26741e725ae5fbb74.jpg

Truck is dead silent after pip5570 fix all. No ticks at all and drove 10 hours yesterday. Go get it done for sure! My dealer applied grease too, so not sure if it helps or boot is enough.

Haven't read through all 39 pages, but in summary if you have an engine tick, this boot is first place to look?  I have a 16 LTZ that has a tick that I just assumed was "normal".

Try the grease trick and see if it helps. Then you'll know for sure.

Many are saying that the boot and grease help.

 

On my 2015 I had the vacuum pump replaced for a different issue (hard brake pedal).  After that was done the tick was gone!

Have a new boot on my truck and it’s fixed!! I have been trying to figure this out for ever 2 damn years, we have gone through so many damn scenarios and tried so many things here on the forum but it’s finally over

 

EDIT: noise is back. The replacement boot did not change much. Still unfixed, I hit bumps and it comes and goes.

Hi All,

 

So I got the PIP5570A done today on my 17 Sierra, and all noises are gone.  I couldn't be happier.  It's been driving me crazy for a year and a half.  Dealer acknowledged the Bulletin and without question replaced the parts and all were covered under warranty.  Feels like I'm driving a new car again.  Just for the record, they did say the old boot was not seated properly.  I'm in Canada, and dealer had no issues, so all my fellow Canadians who have this issue, go get it fixed.

I tried the grease trick and my noise went away!  If it comes back, I would rather replace the boot myself than fool with the dealer as the boot is pretty cheap.  Anyone know how this part comes off?  Just the three nuts on the firewall and the 15mm bolt on the shaft close to the coupling?

How did you grease it?  Did you put grease in the boot?

I heard a little ticking again the other night. I wonder if the grease they packed my new boot with is leaking out......

With the information from this thread, I went to the dealer and told them about the pip5570 and had the service performed in mid-December. Sound went away initially but now its back. Truck is going back in next week.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
