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?

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
