I am going through the same with my engine noise issue.  Unless you cant drive the truck or its a safety issue not much is going to happen with BBB.  

If the BBB fails and it shouldn’t because Illinois law states a non conformity not safety issue I will simply sue GM.

good luck. I hope it works out. I did get some legal advice about my truck. Now keep in mind, my truck sounds like its going to blow up and I was still told the battle would not be worth it.  If they cant fix it after they come up with the proper solution then it should be a no brainer.

Add me to the list (I'm experiencing very similar symptoms). 2019 RST Z71 purchased 12/1/18 w/ 5.3L V8/ 8 SPD. Dealer originally claimed it was a clogged Y-Pipe exhaust component containing the catalytic converter and replaced free of charge however sound started right back up once I picked it up and truck got up to temp. I notice the noise between 35-50 MPH mainly.

 

After 2nd visit, dealer showed me the bulletin and advised that they'll keep me updated so I'm hoping for a fix soon. By skimming through some posts, I see other members already had shafts, diffs, exhaust, etc changed and I'd like to know if ANY of these replacements under warranty fixed the issue?

I watched original video from @Limelight as well and agree that's the sound I may be hearing..

 

After more research on here- this noise description sounds somewhat similar (link posted)... Anyone have this "fuel filler neck vent issue" addressed with positive results?

 

(I had the noise. If I remember correctly, the vent line on the fuel filler neck was either too narrow or it needed reinforcement as it would collapse on itself causing the whistling noise. My entire fuel filler neck assembly was replaced under warranty and it solved the problem.) @fish_guru

I had everything replaced and the sound came back in about 1000 miles. I got a call the other day from GM regarding my buyback and the lady said they can not do a final inspection as long as GM has that no fix available bullion in place. So this works in my favor because the truck is now being deemed "unrepairable" and hence qualifies for breech of warranty.

Same issue with my valve train noise.  Your not going to get far with this.  If it doesn't effect the operation or safety of the truck there's not much you can do. Just like my truck you have an annoying noise that's it.

Im going to ask GM to put it in writing for my future legal case, that it wont effect safety or further damage the Truck and have engineering sign off on it.  Then will see what they do or say. Hey if its 100% true they should have no issue with that.

I would assume you have in writing that they will fix it once a correct  fix is available? They told me if they found any damage after replacing the lifters that they would fix it as well. It sucks because the customer service advisors you talk to, know nothing about cars.  My concern was longevity of my engine considering they think it has a lifter issue. The guy on the phone had no idea what a lifter was.  Its like talking to a wall. Sounds like we would be better off if the truck as undriveable and then maybe gm would take this junk back.

I guess I will just wait for the fix. Hope  it won't be to much  longer.  I don't know why they just don't replace the bad axles with the GM axles,  they don't seem to have a problem.

Remember, they were fixing them or at least trying. That is clear cut proof there is a problem. It is evidence in your favor. If it is true that the GM stuff is fine, it tells you two things. 1. The AAD stuff is defective in some way. 2. GM will never fix the issue because they already have the fix in hand. They are just stringing you out until they don’t have to pay. 

You have an easy case, but, you will never get anything unless you go the lemon law and hire attorney for that. GM choose to use an outside vendor and they are responsible. They already admitted a problem and have a fix for it. They can make all the excuses they want, facts are in.

Hi all,

I have a 2014 Sierra slt 2wd, I am looking to get into a 2019 slt with the premium plus package. Is the jingle noise an issue on the 2wd as well as the 4wd? Or is it just on the 4wd??

4WD as it’s coming front the front axle shaft. 2WD will not have that issue. But with that being said my 4WD doesn’t have the issue either.

The problem is with the AAM  front differential in 2wd, mine has the GM stamp logo on the axle housing and doesn't have that problem.

It’s definite related to the axles.  I just purchased a 2019 HC z71 package.  From the minute I pulled off the lot, I had that jingle sound from 30mph and up.  Would go away if I put into 4x4 auto.  When I purchased this truck I ordered the GM Trail Boss suspension which also swaps the axles up front , and had to wait for it to be installed.  Well it was done yesterday and guess what, no sound at all in 2x4.   I hope GM does the right thing here and helps everyone out.  

 

I also had both seals on the transfer case replaced because the truck was leaking trans fluid from the transfer case to trans seal, fluid all over the undercarriage and driveway.  It’s been an interesting 500 miles so far.  Love the looks and ride of this truck, it’s way better then my 2017 LTZ.  Let’s just hope it holds together!!

Maybe it’s more of a geometry issue that the lift kit fixes.

    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
    • Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken. 
    • Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
