Hi everyone. Just curious if any of you have noticed your door check clunking as it rolls into the first and second position when opening/closing? My Sierra is a year old and the drivers door started a couple days ago. Any suggestions? Cheers

What is a door check?

The rod that stops the door from flying completely open and bending/breaking everything.

 

A random picture for reference.

Oh. Is it loose where it attaches to the cab? My sisters car would pop, the bolts ended up being a little loose.

It’s not loose where it bolts to the cab. Sounds like the roller is clunking in the depressed spots when passing over. I know it’s not a big deal. Maybe some white lithium grease?

My wife's 2018 had this, and she didn't notice the "clunk". I opened the door and bam immediately knew it was a loose bolt and used a 10mm socket and tightened it. Watch the mechanism an if you see slipping it needs to be tightened.

Mine was doing this and grease did not help.  I think it is actually making the "pop" noise where the pin attaches the door catch to the part that bolts to the body.  What I did to fix it was loosen remove the 10mm bolt, put blue loctite on it, and re-tigthen while making sure there is a bit of tension on the pin.  So far so good....

I tried back out the bolt on the body and loosen/tighten the ones on the door with no success. Will try a bit of white lithium grease and see what happens. If it doesn’t quiet down I will have the dealer replace it.

I’d probably bite the bullet and have them replace it. Not wasting my time greasing a brand new door every month.

      New car smell air freshener

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
