My '15 has made this driver-side rattle/chatter/chirp since day 1. It will do it at idle when cold, especially when humid/wet, and at certain RPMs with just a tiny bit of acceleration. I've tracked it to the exhaust up by the manifold on the driver's side. No loaner I've been in does it. The problem is I can't get a dealership to figure it out or acknowledge it as a problem and replace the exhaust.

Well that's no good. I don't feel like it's exhaust on mine, it only does it with throttle at certain rpm and coasting ranges. It doesn't do it on idle, the video posted earlier in here does the exact sound you are speaking of at the same times, are you sure it's not the fuel system?

Good day,   Not sure if anyone is following this topic still however I had a very similar noise on the drivers side of my 2018 Yukon with 5.3. They changed the oil pump and the fuel lines (f

Mine does it too, 2016 Sierra slt all terrain. Really annoying. It directly correlates with how much I press the gas, when I let off it dies off     Sent from my treestand using Tapatalk

I listened to the video, and it sounds very similar to me. What I hear comes right up through the driver side floorboard, and you can hear it perfectly in the driver front wheel well. It looks like there's a cat or resonator right off the manifold at the Y-pipe, and pressing on it causes the noise to stop.

 

It is not an actual problem, but it is annoying given how quiet the truck is overall. I might just get a quote from the dealer to change it and the Y-pipe and pay out of pocket to avoid more of the "leave it with us, oh, we couldn't isolate it this morning, we'll try again tomorrow morning" to this point.

I gotcha. Yeah mine seems to be right behind the driver side dash panel where the driver side vent is. I can't isolate that with the truck parked because it only makes the sound at certain speeds and rpm and only if the throttle is pressed. Weird

Hell yeah man. I definitely think it's an injector noise of some sort. Don't forget to let me know! I'll be looking into it as well

well man I just got back and they couldn't tell me anything. I don't know what to do, Im honestly about to buy a ****ing magna flow exhaust and hope that covers up the noise. Its just becoming to much for me and i am soooo over hearing that crap. ITS NOT NORMAL or all GMC trucks would make this noise every single second it was running.

Damn. Sorry to hear. That's the problem though, this is so common that it is almost normal. You just will see a few trucks that are a bit quieter. I am extremely picky, I can tell you are similar to me and I've driven several other brand new sierras and like I said, most of them made the exact noise and sometimes even worse. My 2015 and one other were the only trucks I didn't notice that sound in. AND my 2015 did do it, but barely ever. Maybe a few times

If you get a full exhaust it will either

 

1. eliminate the issue if it is in the exhaust (I don't think it is)

2. Drown out the chatter and you won't even hear it because the new exhaust will be louder

I honestly think I will be happier with a louder exhaust man, I am over this chatter man. It makes me feel like i am driving around a cheap truck.

Don't say that! You gotta remember it is direct injected man. Have you ever driven a diesel truck? Half the sound you hear is compression in the motor but also the injectors, it's not as quiet as a regular gas motor they have noise to them

Yeah I suppose you are right, maybe once I get the exhaust system it won't really come to mind anymore aye?

I highly doubt you will hear it after exhaust, just gotta remember there are no direct injected gas trucks besides ours! Only diesels and you know how they sound, (clack clack clack clack) and part of that noise is injectors. No worries [emoji51] we just aren't used to that. I'm still digging into it but I'm definitely not too upset either

For real, these trucks are sick. Hands down best truck out right now. Yeah the tin can fords suck, I really hope gm doesn't go full aluminum. Fiat Ram is what it's called now they aren't American anymore, and those have looked the same since like 2008-09! These fords are just delicate. I've seen so many where body panels rip, just is too soft 76cb66b622f8360735cb22dc38921607.jpg1d13bda65e9c1ab279d6ec2620378b3b.jpg

      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.
