I have a 2016 2500HD Silverado, 4x4, crew cab, LTZ gasser.  I had a knock in my steering wheel and thought it was just the upper or intermediate shaft but have replaced both and knock is still there.  At 67000 miles the dealership replace inner and outer tie rods both sides, both front hub assemblies and the pitman arm and I STILL HAVE A KNOCK IN MY STEERING WHEEL AT SPEEDS UNDER 45???  WTF could it be still?  My truck has 80000 miles on it today.

hello,can you feel it or hear it,   once in a while i noticed my 2015 Hd has some sort of knocking or maybe a little play i feel in the steering wheel when turning slow or maybe going around bends slow.    shafts are tight as is the whole linkage.   kinda of thinking its in the steering box.

I would bet its the steering box. I just replaced my upper shaft and that helped a lot, but I have play in the wheel and its from the box. I have 57k on my truck.

Thanks for chiming in guys, I too thought it was the steering box but had not messed with it yet.  I DID FINALLY FIND THE ISSUE AND GOT IT FIXED NO MORE KNOCK!  Drum roll please, it was my telescoping steering.  I chased after other option and never tried the easiest one.  I released my telescoping steering and pushed and pulled the steering wheel in like ten times or so and then re-set it, NO MORE KNOCK!  I think pulling and pushing the steering wheel in distributed some grease throughout that shaft and made the knocking stop or maybe it was even simpler than that and the locking lever on my telescoping steering was just not fully engaged.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
