Noises and Vibrations

I got letter in mail the other day from local Chevy dealer telling me they "need" used truck just like mine!

 

I've learned to deal with it--got that weird ticking metal noise when I hit the throttle just right. It's either lifters or maybe bad cat? Has anyone ever figured that out?

 

I've read the countless threads and I believe my truck also has that dreaded vibration in the rear.

 

Girl is over year old and has 24k miles on it. Thank glad I bought an extended warranty!

The tick could just be an exhaust leak. I would think you'd hear a lifter tick at idle.

 

 

I thought the same thing -- the noise happens at random RPM's while driving -- most notably when the truck has a load (going up hill). It's more like a metal tapping sound. Perhaps I got a bad CAT; sounds like it is coming from driver's side firewall area.

I thought but have hard time believing that. It's more like a metal rattle. It happened tonight when I sped up going up an overpass. I'm going to take it to my exhaust shop and see if maybe it's a bad cat. I've had it for awhile now and haven't had any performance impact. Just annoyance more than anything.

Ok I just purchased a used 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500LTZ unfortunately without doing my research Mine makes this noise as well. so other than the excuse of the DI causing this noise. Did GM ever come up witha solution to the problem or is the consumer just stuck with a noisey truck. Anyone know.. GM please chime in at any time.. thanks

I haven't taken my truck in yet. Does your do it at certain RPMS with and without load? I can make it happen on command with an uphill grade.

I just talked to dealer and even under warranty, I will have to pay a $100 diagnostics fee. Ok. Well. I may just live with noise. I've had it all 23k miles and it hasn't killed my engine yet.

Mine does it at idle and recently while driving through a small tunnel. I could hear the noise as well... The dealer told me that it was normal like everyone is being told. So now I'm going to take it to another dealer just for a second opinion.

My fee has been $48.00. Even reading all the different post and you tube videos. I have to admit that noone has said that their engine has blown or anything like that. Just one post about pushrods being bent but nothing else. I just wonder why GM never did any type of recall or anything to resolve this.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
