I'll try to post a video later.  It happens when going over rough surfaces and is getting louder and louder.  Anyone experience/solve this?

It was difficult to find but most of the controls in the overhead, Sliding window garage opener and interior light switch were loose so were rattling. May not be your problem but putting it out there.

I have found a couple annoying rattles in the dash of my 17 crew. I found the "most" annoying one inside the passenger fuse panel compartment. Made it sound like it was resonating thru the whole dash. There is a fuse block/wiring harness square plastic thing in there, Jammed a peice of cardboard in there and good to go. A new rattle has just started towards the drivers side....haven't found that one yet lol

I can't find the source. I'll have the dealer fix it. It's constant now and driving me nuts.

my 2017 silverado does the same thing when i make a sharp right turn, sounds to me theres something sliding  in center of the dash near stereo. I would make a sharp left afterwards don't hear it. I have a post on here about this and i done evreything as others said. Like drive in 2wd mode. Can't remember the others but no luck. Again it sounds like plastic on plastic sliding to me, maybe a wire connection not zip tied?

Well yesterday I figured it out. The closed the door and heard the noise outside of the truck for the first time. Played around in the engine bay and the lower battery bracket bolt was 90% backed out. Tightened it up and it's 100% gone.

On the back of the kick board (you'll have to remove the kick board) on the drivers side footwell is a metal plate. its literally held into place by PLASTIC rivets.  I've had this issue in my 08 and my 16.  Both were solved by removing that metal plate. Idk what its purpose its, but neither truck fell apart, nor did they squeak after I removed them.

I had this exact same issue in my 2016 Silverado with 50k miles on it.  The same bolt was backed out about 50%.  Tightened her up, and no more chirping!

Small world!  How long did you let it go for before you figured it out?

I've been trying to track down a chirping sound from the dash for months, and THIS was the answer!! I've torn apart my dash, door panels, everything trying to find a loose bolt inside with no luck. I found this thread this weekend and it was the damn battery tray bolt. I don't know how it was so loud in the cab, but it's no longer driving me insane. Just wanted to stop by and say THANK YOU.

Hell yeah! Glad I could help. That sound drove me insane. It was so loud inside. I couldn't believe it.

      I never understood the hate for the column shifter. The console shifter just gets in the way, takes up prime cargo space and in my wife's Jeep, the dog constantly bumps the console shifter into neutral!    Best choice ever to just make it a column shifter across the lineup and be done with it.    (Bonus: Makes swapping from a 5 seater to a six seater far easier)

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By richard wysong · Posted

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.
