Hi all,

 

New to the forum and to Chevy. Long time Ram owner, made the jump lol.

 

I bought a 2019 Silverado Custom with 4.3L. I got a rattle coming from dash area. Sounds like its in the area of were the headlight sensor is up by the windshield. Only rattles in drive at a stop. Anyone else by chance?

I have had a rattle behind the dash near the drivers door for months now when I go over 50 mph.  I have taken it to two different dealerships multiple times with no solution.  It kills me.

Check the hood release cable. Someone said something about tying it back with a zip tie to fix a rattle.

So it has gotten worse...

 

Only rattles in gear at a stop. No rattle in neutral or park. Apparently only when there is a "load" if you will, on the engine. Even my kids asked what that is. Sounds dead center of dash. Im hoping just something in engine bay rattling. At this point going to make appt next week at dealer. 

 

Would you guys be ok if they had to tear your dash apart?????

So the ductwork behind the dash is probably rattling against the tie bar that goes the width of the dash. That’s exactly what mine was, little butyl between it and it’s solved. Like I mentioned, you need to remove e cluster for access but it’s not difficult. PM me if you need help

I have a rattle around the A post area when I get to 40mph.sounds like door but could be the dash.could you tell me the area you mean when you say cluster?

Cluster = speedometer. It’s behind that area, I can almost guarantee it. The rattle sounds like door/ a pillar / dash, but it’s that ductwork behind it. It has such slight clearance between itself and the metal tie bar that spans the width of the dash. When it’s warm, it flexes and bounces on top of that tie bar.

I think I have that LH AC duct rattle.  Also found sometimes moving the steering wheel rake up and down has quieted a buzz I had under load on the highway

Thanks for info. The noise has seemed to stop the last 300 miles.if it returns which I'm sure it will I will look at this area. Thanks again.

Just to update everyone:

 

Took truck to dealer. There was a gm bulletin out about dash rattle. Turns out I had the same problem. 

 

Issue was engine harness above transmission was rubbing on floorpan. They adjusted the harness, so far no more rattle!

These forums are your best chance at finding a solution to any rattle complaints. I have owned newer under warranty gm trucks now since the mid 90's i can tell you for fact most times a dealer will not solve rattle issues and they just hope to keep pushing you along until your past the 3 year or 36k mark which is when they are completely not obligated to fix interior rattles without charging you.

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Auto start stop disable

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
