2016 Double Cab B-Pillar Squeak

[gkuklinski]

With the cooler temps arriving in Wisconsin, I noticed the last few weeks that my 2016 Silverado Double-Cab LT 4x4 had developed a very annoying squeak in the Driver's side B-Pillar.  Haven't removed any trim our anything yet.  It is very noticeable when driving on a bumpy road and when you close both the front and rear drivers doors.  Anyone else experience this and have any ideas?  It is under warranty and I plan to have the dealer look at it when I take it in for my next service, was hoping it might be something simple that I could resolve as its very annoying.

 

Regards.

My 17 started a squeak similar to a cricket.  Found that I could stop it by pushing on the bottom of the B pillar.  For now I have jammed a piece of wood in there, will have the dealer look at this soon.  The B pillar does not seem too fun to get out of there.

My 2009 2500HD also creaked when I pulled onto my drive when it was new.  Very annoying to say the least but eventually it either stopped or I got used to it.  Never took it to a dealer I just figured

it would be a waste of my time.  Traded it off this last summer for a 2015  SLE Duramax  that doesn't creak , groan or rattle and is super quiet on the road.

Thanks for the feedback.  Have an appointment at the dealer next week for regular service, will have it looked at by them.

Took the truck in for the regular maintenance. The Squeak ended up being the drivers front seatbelt tensioner. Replace under warranty. No more annoying squeak.
