New Truck! All these rattles. Was not expecting this : (

[Ken M.]

I've had my truck for 10 days. Many things are great , it's the 2021

Crew cab, 5.3ecotech v-8 RST Z71. I now have 670 miles, none off- road.

I traded in my 2006 Z71 at 168,000miles.

This new truck has alot of rattles, I wasn't expecting that.

What is it? It's coming from the middle or rear of the truck. Maybe the back seats and or the tailgate.

Another rattle is up front around the brakes or tires.

Anyone else have this going on?

If it sounds like its inside, check the rear headrests. Some here have reported them loose and rattling on the support posts

I had a rattle once and it turned out the passenger seatbelt wasn't sitting right and was tapping against the plastic cover for the "B" pillar when going down a rough road and it sounded like it was coming from the back.

Check that the jack is firmly held down under the rear seat.  Mine was slightly loose when I got it and that proved to be the source of the rattle.  

 

Now if I could just figure out the new one I have in the driver side dash.  It's getting progressively worse over time.

Only rattle I hear in my truck is when my baby girl is playing with her toys

The local dealer went for a test ride today. Definitely  something loose underneath probably up front. He said it sounds like a 20 yr old truck . Has 720 miles on it. GREAT. Can't get an appointment until junec28th. Its a daily driver,  and gets a 500 mile trip next weekend. Just turn up the radio I guess. My 2006 was quiter, not smoother but not a rattle trap. Totally discouraged. Feel slighted by Chevrolet.

Dealer where I bought it was not too concerned guys on vacation and such.

Have the same truck and the same miles.  There was a little rattle that ended up being the jack and straps on the rear seat that I assume are for child seats.  Tightened that all, and quiet as can be.

[Ken M.]

Yes I tried all the ez fixes jacks are tight. Emptied the glove boxes.

 May help give an understanding of what you may be dealing with as I did on my 20 LTZ.

So people can't take vacations unless you have a rattle fixed? 

 

It is a rattle, I guess they don't get a pass for not treating it as the same urgency level as an engine failure?
