Hey guys, 

 

When I play some songs, certain bass will make my doors rattle in a way that is extremely frustrating for an expensive truck. The doors on my truck just do not seem put together tightly or well. Otherwise, no issues with the truck.

 

I suspect its the frequency just vibrating the plastic a certain way...

 

Would I have a case to take it into the dealer to get them to tighten everything up under warranty? I only have 1700km (1000 miles) on it and playing music is kinda irritating me that I am hearing a rattle. Is this stuff covered under warranty? Its basically brand new. 

 

Thanks.

You’ve got a 36k mile bumper to bumper warranty for a reason, right?  I’d be taking advantage of it.

Honestly Ive been trying to find out just what exactly that does cover. Im sure it doesnt cover wear items, and unsure about rattles whether I will have to pay or not to get it looked at before its fixed.

It costs you nothing other than your time to call the dealership and discuss any issues with the truck & schedule an appointment.  As @oldmann stated, a rattle would be covered under warranty if the dealership can duplicate the problem and if they know how to fix it.

 

Basically, if you feel there is something not right with the truck other than normal wear & tear, the warranty should cover it free of charge.  Until you get to understand what is & isn't covered, ask the service advisor if you will be charged before confirming your appointment.  It's also a benefit to be aware that not every issue can be fixed upon its discovery.  It may take GM months or years to fully resolve certain issues & come up with a proper repair procedure.  This day & age, the dealer is often at the mercy of GM when it comes to fixing certain issues (think of things more complicated than a rattle).

I have not taken the door apart on the new trucks, but did in previous generations and it is not that hard once you find where all the screws are. If you are into tinkering try popping off the door panel and see if you can figure out the noise yourself. There is bound to a YouTube video showing how to take the door panel off. I think usually there is a waterproof plastic sheeting inside the door that is held on by adhesive so don't tear that.

You should prepare yourself for "operating as intended". I was experiencing the same issue in my AT4 with Bose. The Bose system puts all the bass in the front doors and this can cause resonance to occur with some songs. This was primarily the main reason i installed the Kicker subwoofer accessory to remove the bass from the front doors and put it under the backseat. 

 

You should still take it to the dealer though, just in-case they can fix it.

I know this may be kind of redundant, but check to see if there is anything at all in the door. They have a lot of storage compartments and it can be hard to see a small black object if your interior is black.

I have the same issue and the dealership keeps saying that it’s supposed to happen since it’s “Bose it puts out a lot bass”  they hear the rattles and they’re like oh yeah you have the bass to high. Keep in mind I have it in 2-4 settings anything above sounds like the speakers are going to blow. The 2018 sierras w bose sounded much better. The 2019’s + sound like total crap. Can’t even begin to understand how did the Bose engineers  hear the system and thought it was amazing. I thought the kicker sub was only intended for non bose trucks. In conclusion this has to be the worst system bose has made for the Sierra let alone that little sub barely does something but vibrate.

      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.
