I have multiple issues with rattles in the dash are.  It has been in the shop over 3 times for this and I have lost at least 2 weeks use of the truck.  They found loose bolts in both fenders.  They also replaced a cowling along the firewall and windshield that broke on the rights.  They were taking running boards off, fenders skirts, mud flaps, etc.  They finally found the culprit after a good length of time.

That's exactly how I described it at times....as if two incredibly loud pieces of Styrofoam were being rubbed together. I was told it on the driver's half of the firewall but I do not know the exact l

And the culprit would be??  Was it the loose bolts in both fenders?

Yes, it appears it was the loose bolts.  

 

On another note, family member works at another dealership in another state.  Her brother purchased 2019 like mine and had same issues.  His turned out to be pins in the brakes system on the front wheels.  The pins were too long and this caused them to rattle against other metal.   Replaced the pins with shorter pins that resolved the issue.

I took my 2019 Trail Boss in this week for a rattle that sounded like it was coming from below glove box on the passenger side, noise worst at low RPM around 35-40mph. They pulled panels off dash and test drove as replaced one by one, noise still there. Another tech went along for last test drive with stethoscope and pinpointed the noise to below floor pan.  The problem ended up being the O2 bank 2 sensor rubbing on floor pan of cab causing noise, sensor harness was re-routed, problem fixed. Hope this helps. Good work to my local Wollam Chevy.

The rattle begins at 800 rpms on a 2020. The problem is the glove box strut retainer clip is not attached. Remove glove box and strut and re attach. Boom youre welcome

Any of you had a rattle with the passenger (or driver) dash speaker grille? Thought it was my glove box but turns out its this. Assuming it comes off with clips? Didn't realize that the grille is this whole part.

I know on the k2's part number 3 which is a plastic cover directly under the steering wheel has 4 bolts behind it that work loose. Unless the mounting has changed for the 19's the dash is literally the same thing so anyone still having issues that's a easy place to check for a rattle. It always sounded like it was coming from the passenger side dash too for some reason.

Yep, sure enough was missing the bolt that connects to the backside of the mud flap.  The dealership mailed me a bolt, but it was wrong one, so I'll probably have to take it in to get the correct one on.

I had the same issue, missing bold from the mudflap. Rattle Rattle Rattle.

Would either of you mind sharing a picture of the location of the missing screws? It looks like I may have some missing, but both sides don't have the screws.

Anyone have a picture? Or can you tell me based on mine if I have the missing bolt or screw?

It would be under, pointing up towards the windshield.

Thanks for the image. I have the same rattle on RHS of my '21. Will verify.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
