2023 Chevy Silverado 2500HD clunk


Recommended Posts

When pulling out, pulling in, turning, and straightening out there is a clunk. Slow speeds happen the most

Any ideas?

I think suspension.  Only when doing those things.  Like when the truck has to flex.

If I go to the bed and push back and fourth, passenger side to driver side a nosie comes like a clunk from around the gas tank? But everything  is tight.

Almost sounds like the exhaust pipe is lose. I checked everything under truck, everything looks great. Truck has less than 300 miles on it

My dealer said it's normal for side to side noise. I still have an appointment for the 31st for the sound. I said that I can make the noise by jumping on the open tailgate with my upper torso. 

 

I can grab the handhold of the bed and move the bed sideways violently and make a hellava racket around the fueltank/left spring pack. Windows up and moving around 5mph, just the expansion cracks in gravel roads with frost coming out will produce the noise. Center pivot tracks are terrible. 

 

Noise was not there before putting on lift at dealer for the complementary oil change. Noticed noise immediately. Thought it was gravel/sand in spring packs. Hasn't gotten any better in 1500 miles.

 

At home, I did get truck stuck trying to angle cross a road ditch to attempt to flex the frame/suspension to make the noise break-in or make it worse. 23 2500 AT4.

Have you tried laying on the ground underneath that area while someone else does the side to side shake you described?  You might be able to pinpoint the source of the noise.

I have had similar noises that ended up being the torsion bars moving in the pocket. I usually sprayed them down with a lubricant and turned the screws about a 1/2 turn to change the pressure on the keys. 

Might be worth a try.

I was having some random clunking sounds going around slow turns or into off camber driveways etc and I started noticing it was after slushy crap was frozen somewhere underneath the truck but then after it was warm it wasn’t making anymore sounds. So far it’s been clunk free. 
I often think trucks have a settling period. Mine now has a bit over 4k miles.
