Anyone experiencing a slight dash rattle in their 2019+?  Feels/sounds like its coming from the centre around the defrost vent or possibly the sunglass holder but I doubt its that piece.  I'm having a hard time pinpointing where it is exactly coming from.

 

The rattle has basically come out of no where, no noticeable rattle/sounds prior to the last few weeks.  It is winter now and it is damn cold up here in Canadian prairies, but other than being parked outside during work day its parked in a heated garage the rest of the time.  I suppose it could be the cold, but like I  said i can still hear it when driving to work after pulling out of the garage after driving for 20-25mins

 

Anyone dealing with the same or hearing the same and able to tell me where it is coming from/the fix?

Yea I have a rattle in that same area.  I tried to locate it by putting pressure on different parts of the dash with no luck.  It changes with different temps as some days there is no rattle at all.

Mine was in the dash as well and I took it into the dealership and they had to relocate the transmission harness because they have had a few T1s with this issue. He also stated that a couple of the screws holding down the center console were loose and he put loctite on them so they wouldn’t  come back out. Haven’t heard any rattles from dash since.

Yeah exactly the same, have not been able to pinpoint it, and it comes and goes based on temperature it seems.  Makes me wonder if its simply just expansion vs contraction of the plastics

Not sure the trans harness would be my issue, but the screws would make sense.  I'll have to see what the dealership thinks, and I may just wait until it gets worse (hopefully not) before taking it in to ensure they actually can fix it and not give the "couldnt replicate what your talking about"

That’s why I drove when I got to the dealership and took him for a ride. I went over ever d@mn pot-hole and railroad track I could find. He noticed it and I told them don’t give it back till it’s fixed. They took about a week.

Its related to cold temps.  I could duplicate it by pressing in a certain area of the defrost grill to the left of the light sensor. Somedays it would make the noise and other days no noise at all.   There is a 7mm head screw located under there that can be removed and it will lessen the noise.  I removed the screws one at a time and retested. I think it was one just to the left of the light sensor.  My noise was more of a creaking/etching type noise

This is my fear lol.  Thinking this might be happening to me in the near future.  In process of getting the wife a new car, so after that this becomes my next priority.

This makes sense to me.  To clarify, popping out the defrost grille and the screws beneath is what you are referring to?

Its more of a plastic on plastic etching noise and yes, below the grill

Mine seems to happen in relation to the engine.  Doesn't really happen when idling then it happens a little gets worse around 1000-1500 RMP then goes away.  But not always.  It's very random but annoying!

Yours might be related to the wire harness or the fuel/evap lines contacting the floor pan.  There is a pi available for this concern

What is a pi? And where can I find the harness or the lines?

I have a slight vib/rattle to the right of center dash. It only does it just coming off idle and only when it's first started.  After about 3 to 5 minutes it goes away.  Idle no rattle, light throttle input rattle, RPM goes above 1000 and it's goes away.  I don't get the vibration on deceleration passing said RPM range only when accelerating.  Makes me wonder if it's exhaust related and once heated tolerances change enough to make it go away.

My wife's 2023 Chevy 1500 is making this awfully annoying rattling sound. Coming from the center of her dashboard sounds like middle dashboard inside. She has a full bumper to bumper warranty but chevy says to open the dash it will be $1500. Anyone have any help for us?

I had a rattle that I thought was coming from the centre of the dash or a piece of nearby trim.

Turned out the drivers side sun visor was against the clip, but not snapped into the clip...

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
