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.

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.

 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? :wtf:

 

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?

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
