I bought a 2016 Sierra SLT with the Bose 8 speaker system 5 weeks ago, and the front right speaker already sounds awful. I haven't turned the bass much up at all, but it sounds blown. Even when i turned the bass to negative numbers it still cracks. Would a dealer replace this for free? Can anyone give me some advice on his to fix this. Thanks for the help

I swear my left front speaker cracks some too. I plan on having them take a look at my next service.

 

I would imagine it will be covered as long as you are all factory still

Could be a bad speaker or it could be a bad amplifier too. Or possibly someone miswired the system. Anyway, bumper to bumper warranty should take care of it. Assuming that the tech who gets to job can hear it.

This is so unfortunate. I have a 2014 1500 Sierrra SLT and this crackling drives me NUTS! I have taken it in multiple times for this issue. No fix. They replaced the speakers, changed all bass/trebble etc. Something with the antenna, nope.....

 

There is a buge thread dating back to 2013/2014. Im actually looking for it now as im takin my truck in Tuesday for another issue. I was curious if there was a fix yet...

 

Here is the kicker.... the 2014 SLE truck that doesn't have the BOSE radio, the speakers sound great . (I drove their loaner which was a SLE and it sounded great.) So we paid more for SLT with BOSE but sounds worse.

 

A.M radio sounds awful. Pisses me off when dealer says you can listen in I heart radio... Im like no.... 50k truck I should be able to listen to my a.m radio.

 

Arrrrrhhhhh so frustrating.

I bought an '18 Sierra about 1 month ago.  when I test drove, the dash speakers were crackling.  I had them replaced by the dealer, and they worked for about a month/ 2k miles.  Then it started up again out of the blue.

 

It only happens when I listen to really full, bassy music on certain notes (glass animals - Helium).  I speculate that since the replacement speakers did the trick for a month, its not necessarily a wiring issue, or maybe even an amp issue.  I estimate that it may be a filtering issue.  I think the frequency getting to the dash speakers goes too low.  

 

Im going to attempt to get a new pair o higher quality speakers and add a high pass filter.  

 

anyone that has intimate knowledge of this issue have any thoughts?

      On 2021 3500hd it consistently sets automatically when selecting park if the incline/decline is above a certain angle.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
