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.

      I will be one of those "blinded". One, I like new shiny things. Two, I've never kept any of them beyond the 3/36. Three, I don't finance anything. Four, yep, it's a waste of money....so,what? I'm doing my part of keeping automotive industry going and keeping my neighbors, most of whom are in it, employed. 😉      By the way this is the "signature... ¬

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
