Leaf spring noise

Hey all, I have a 2019 trail boss with an awful noise anytime the rest suspension is used (all the time because you know...)

 

I took it into the dealer and they "fixed" it with some grease.. but that has negative side effects, also it already wore off. So yeah. 

 

I just don't understand how this is even a thing. My 2013 didn't make any noises like this. My 2019 sounds like a 20 year old rust bucket. 

 

I went on Twitter, but now I question their ability to do anything. They are just going to tell the dealer to regrease it. 

 

Anybody else have this issue?

My 18 sounded like that, grease was a temp fix and tightening U-bolts did nothing. I finally did the bicycle inner tube fix and the noise never came back. Search for it somewhere on the K2 forums. Cheap, easy (watch your fingers) and effective.

I have the same exact problem with my 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500. It did not make the this noise when I bought it. Then after taking it to the dealer for another issue, The service rep mentioned a TSB regarding improper torque on my leave springs. They go ahead and retorque and all of sudden I have the noise.

I have this problem, and I’ve come to the realization that these trucks are trash.

 

I have 23,000 miles on my 2019 silverado LD and I’ve had SEVERAL issues, i.e. emergency brake light, water pump failed at 15k, squeaky brakes (2 dealers said the sound was normal, Lol), and now the clunking under the bed just started when doing slow parking lot or driveway maneuvers. Maybe it’s the leaf springs? It happens while turning the wheel over little bumps in my driveway. It’s loud enough, but I’m afraid the dealer will tell me it’s normal again. 3 year warranty just expired.

 

Here’s a question - if I trade in my truck will they ding my trade-in price since it has so many noises? I would think not since GM said these sounds are “normal” but we all know sales and service are different animals. I’m wondering if I should demand a letter in writing from the dealer that says these noises are normal?

 

I could never sell it to a private buyer like this…wouldn’t make it out of the driveway before they’d hear the clunking sound and squeaky brakes. Also it’s an asphalt princess. I have not abused it or modified anything.

      The rotor couldn't be turned so I replaced it. Installed new pads on both sides and called it a day.   Peace

      I've tried everything and still have the rattle.  My next thing to eliminate is the seatbelt connection on the real pillar.  The cover seems loose and could be the source.  I found one of my grandsons video games in the back seat rest compartment   and had a glimmer of joy, but that wasn't it.  I'll keep trying.

      I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.
