I've got a 2020 silverado with the 3.0L duramax engine, bought it back in November and recently had a 4" lift installed. Lately I've been hearing this "thump", like an acorn falling on the roof. It does when it's been out in the sun for a while. Anyone else having this problem or know what it could be?

It has nothing to do with your lift or any differentiating specs. I have been waiting on my new truck for two weeks to get done having it’s lift added and for the new wheels and tires to come in since they were held up in shipping so the dealer gave me a 2020 double cab 4wd LT with the 5.3 to drive and I was sitting in a parking lot on my computer and heard what you described so I thought something blew off a tree or something so I just packed up and started driving only to keep hearing it as I drove from time to time. I had to switch trucks because the dealer sold the one I was driving so I got a crew cab this time and the same thing happened today before taking it back to finally pick up my truck. I asked them about it and it has something to do with the roof under different temps. They have had multiple complaints but no remedy. I bought the 19 model that was left over and a crazy deal and I have not experience that noise in it and the dealer hasn’t had any complaints pertaining to that noise from a 19 model.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
