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.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
