Rattle when slowing down

Got a puzzling one here. 2018 Silverado Eassist 8 speed auto that I have had numerous weird issues with since day 1. The latest is what sounds like a nut or socket rolling in the bed when you Slow down. The bed is clean. After much trial and error I can finally get it to duplicate reliably.

 

Get speed up past 40 -45

Slow down with extremely light pressure on the brake pedal.

At 27mph when the transmission downshifts you hear the rattle that sounds like a nut rolling about 6 inches in the bed

You do not hear the noise on acceleration

Too hard on the brake - noise is very soft

Slam on the brakes - no noise

Coast to a stop- no noise

Pushing down on the brake pedal what feels like 1/4" - noise is loud

 

Things they have done to the truck:

Changed transmission fluid and updated software multiple times over the first 30000 miles to fix harsh shifts

Replaced the valve body in the transmission about 5000 miles ago due to extremely harsh shifts. So harsh it rattled all the screws loose in the overhead bin and it fell out of the ceiling.

Dealer discovered there was extremely low fluid in the rear end about 2000 miles ago. Said it leaked out and I must tow a lot (I don't tow anything) LOL. Issue had been my main complaint from day 1. Symptoms were a shudder in reverse at low speed. 100 miles left on the warranty when they finally figured this out.

 

Noticed the rattling noise after they replaced the fluid and honestly though they left a socket on the spare or in the frame.

Took it back in 1000 miles later as the reverse shudder was still there and reported the noise. Diagnosis was noisy leaf springs we will grease the fronts

Dealer replaced the rear end center section since it still had the reverse shudder. (Of course it was bad it had low fluid from day 1 and it now has 37000 miles on it)

Still has the same rattling noise and now I can make it happen at will

Just finished reading another post here and they mentioned trash in the valve body. So I am going to try to make the noise happen with the truck in neutral and will update later

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!!

Have tried several times to duplicate the rattle when the truck is slowing down with the transmission in neutral. It does not rattle when the transmission is in neutral only when the truck is in gear

Dropped the truck off a week ago. The dealer called to tell me it was the transmission, but they dont know exactly what yet. Tech that rode with me when I duplicated the noise multiple times told me it was transmission and yet it took them a week to let me know the same thing. Not sure they have a clue or are they stalling because they are working on other stuff.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but what ended up being the issue? My 2016 with e-assist is doing the exact same thing and the dealer hasn't been able to figure it out for 2 months now.

I was looking to see if there are any updates as well.  I have a 2017 eassist that is doing the same thing.   Light brake and rattles between 25-30 mph.

Hey, my 17 Silverado is doing the same...sounds like a rattling heat shield with light brake apply. I checked over every single splash shield, heat shield and skid plate that I could..I shook down everything that I could and couldn't locate the noise. It also almost sounds like a rock or something between the backing plate of a caliper too, but it's not. Just would like to know what the OP found was the problem, and if it was internal to the transmission.

Same here with my 2017 Sierra SLT e-assist. When slowing down, with no or light brake pressure at 40kmh : bad noise... Can't believe that no solution identified yet!

Hi all,

 

I’m experiencing a similar rattling noise issue with my 2016 Chevy Silverado eAssist. About six months ago, I replaced the transmission due to bucking, kicking, and hard shifting. There was no rattling noise before the transmission replacement.

The rattling started after the remanufactured transmission was installed. I brought this to the transmission shop’s attention, and they agreed to replace the transmission again. I picked up the truck today with the second remanufactured transmission installed, but the rattling noise is still present.

At this point, I’m trying to determine whether this noise is actually transmission-related or if it could be coming from another component. Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

I was able to record the noise. Just don’t know if I can upload here for the community to hear.

      AFM Experience

      By Atlas · Posted

      When I had a Bumper subscription for a few days when I needed to run title histories on cars I was looking at, I decided to look up a few of my old/past vehicles.   My 2015 Silverado was still actively registered and it last sold in 2024 with 160k on the clock. No idea if that's on the original engine but someone's keeping it on the road or the original AFM stuff is still going.   It used 0w20. I remember feeding it Mobil 0w20 AFE for the first 30k of its life on <5k OCI's.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can't say I have ever heard of someone getting that type of mileage out of a set of tires even though they rotated on a regular basis but without a doubt if the front end gets wear and those tires are no longer able to track straight it scrubs them off, and driving style and road surface make a huge difference as well.    However that is not what prompted me to comment as it was the new tire theme of sitting in storage waiting to be used scenario. I am sure some tires can last for quite a while in storage if its not too warm and out of the sunlight but unfortunately some tires the way they their rubber compound is formulated they can age and dry out even in a reasonably decent storage location. My brother ran into this maybe three years ago when he was looking at the tires that were on his dually truck and a combination of wear on the rear ones and noticing that the front tires had some cracks around the sidewall of the tire not far from the bead but he had replaced only the front ones not long ago with 2 of the remaining 6 he had left from the initial two sets of takeoffs he had all bought at the same time .... 10 years ago ! ( the years fly by, a truck that only gets used a bit to haul a camper during the summer and sits in a shed for a large part of the year ). That second set of 6 tires, two he had put on the front prior like I said and they had very little wear but those cracks were now present. So we go into the shed where the other 4 tires had been stored all this time and every one of them had the same cracks in the sidewalls and so in the end it amounted to throwing away 6 brand new but 10 year old takeoff tires into the dump that he got a deal on at a tire shop because they aged out. They were a Ford factory equipment BFG tire and those tires did not age well compared to some tires I've seen far older then that and did not show that type of aging. True, they always say up here anyway that 7 years is sort of a limit for age by rights, we don't have the intense prolonged heat that many of you have down in the states that just cook tires and depends on where the vehicle sits when not in use. GB, another words maybe had you bought a set of tires to store it would have been fine as long as you used them up fast enough but there are no guarantees when it comes to rubber, tires or of that other type stored in some guys wallets 😆

      Open Door Chimes When Key is Out

      By Head South · Posted

      2020 2500 HD...I had some trouble getting the key into the ignition switch but went in fine after applying some extra effort. Since then, the door chimes when open when the key is out of the ignition. Also, when I lock the doors with the switch on the arm rest, the driver door locks but then unlocks. (I can lock everything fine with the fob) The message on the little screen displays the "Engine Hours"...kinda weird.   I'm guessing something happened to the ignition switch and it thinks the key is still in there. I unplugged the batteries for 20 minutes, no change. There are a number of videos on YouTube but nothing I can find that address this specific issue. Ideas appreciated, thank you.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.
