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?

Ever figure it out?

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...

      Some Assembly is Required

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
