I have a unknown noise that is coming from what seems like the mid section of my truck. I have been to the dealership multiple times without having any luck figuring out what it is. I then took it to a private garage and they swore it was the transfer case. 2k later I have a new transfer case but the noise still persists. I then went back to the dealership and they said its probably going to be the cats going bad. Soo.. 1800 later I have new cats duel exhausts and unfortunately this persistent noise. I have a video but it won't let me up load it here, so here's a link. Check it out and let me know if anyone else has had this issue. Its driving me crazy.

That rattily sound? Kind of sounds like a heat shield on the exhaust that has broken a tack weld.

In the beginning that's what I thought too but no one has been able to find any loose shrouds or heat shields. Its also particular when it make the noise, it will do it when going up an incline, it will do it if you have it hold the RPMs at about 1800 regardless of the gear its in. You can also feel it vibrate in the gas pedal when it happens.

I had some rocks kick up onto the heat shield, it's the perfect trap because they settle in certain areas and can't roll or pop back out. At certain RPM's I could hear them rattle, the exhaust was hitting the perfect note to get them to move around. Yours sounds much louder than what I experienced though. Have you tried tapping the heat shields with something to be absolutely certain there isn't anything that may be trapped on top of one of them? If there's no rattle when tapping I'm sorry to say I'm at a complete loss at what that noise is...would drive me nuts too.

Sounds like my 2014 Sierra Denali 6.2. Mine rattles at like 30mph. On mine it’s the two fuel lines from the charcoal canister going towards the engine. Have some one rev to the RPM and grab those lines and pull on them.

It sounds like some sheet metal vibrating, try to look for loose metal guards or protectors

Its only makes the noise at around 1800 -2000 RPM. It doesn't matter what gear it's in, i could be turning a corner and it will do it or I could be doing 70 mph on the interstate and it will do it. I have spent hours pulling and pushing heat shields, looking for anything that could be loose and vibrating and haven't found anything. I will definitely looking at what da90 said in his comment where I can't remember if I checked those fuel lines or not. I appreciate any and all ideas you guys have, I am now starting at the beginning and going to go through the truck completely again. I had one shop say they think it might be something in the transmission but seeing this has been making this noise for 6 months + it makes me wonder why it wouldn't have gone out by now. Im not even going to go in that direction until there is no other possibility. Thanks everyone, keep em coming.

I wouldn't go into the transmission, I doubt it's inside. You've already thrown to much at it with no results so a real diagnosis is what is left not a "we think it's this with no guarantee". You can use a soft face hammer and tap all over the truck (some places harder then others so you don't cause damage) to see if you can replicate any rattles. Have you looked at the flapper valve on the exhaust?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

      Will not stay in Reverse

      By TheGeek · Posted

      I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem?

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.
