Long story short, I traded my 2020 trailboss for this truck and I’m pretty happy minus a few luxury items missing. I’ve noticed that slow speeds turning or where the truck bed shifts, I hear a pop and I don’t like it. I’ve read maybe just the leafs doing it and a piece of rubber will fix it? Also, I notice with no music on, truck running, I hear a hissing sound from the steering wheel…hard to explain but it changes when I turn the wheel and sounds like a hydraulic line!? Normal?? Any insight because I know dang well what the stealership will say and I don’t want to go through it all if it’s actually normal. Thanks

Steering is normal and even more normal if it has the digital assist steering.

 

Rear noise its likely the leaf pack.  "20-NA-022 Squeak, Grind or Clunking Noise from Rear Leaf Springs" and "21-NA-138 Squeak, Grind or Clunking Noise from Rear Leaf Springs" are the two bulletins on leaf pack noise.

Are those bulletins for 2020-2021 is that what the 20 and 21 stands for? What about 22+

Same with the hissing on my 2022 lt…..only hear it with no music on in park or at idle and reacts to steering wheel moving or once you start moving…..annoying but have had no issues with it other then being annoying

Well glad to hear it’s “normal” now to decide if I want to try and make the leaf noise go away with rubber strips or leave alone. I read some guys had the noise go away after 1000 miles or so and I’m only at 88 so I got time lo. The steering is so odd, mine is a Custom trim so I don’t think I have that digital assist but it’s definitely noticeable

The creaking in the rear goes away if the underside is drenched. Mine creaks when dry. 5100mi

The hiss noise you hear is the power steering system. Its a hydraulic system and the noises are perfectly normal.  You hear a howl noise at idle with no movement on the steering wheel. Noise changes when moving the steering wheel.  Totally normal.  6.6 gas comes with hydraulic power steering and hydraulic brakes.

These are noisy trucks, every single T1 2500 I've had made that steering noise.....I am not concerned unless the basic function is affected.....but yeah my 1500s were much quieter vehicles ......

 

I have digital steering now and it sounds sane as my LT's DID AT HARD LOCK on steering

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      They are talking about adding more tax to our fuel across Canada by the labour day time frame, its the carbon idiot tax increase on top of the pile of fuel taxes we already pay thanks to the WEF dictatorship running the country. 10 cents per liter on gas and 4 cents a liter on diesel I believe is what was said. That is a huge amount of a tax increase as its another 38 cents equivalent to a US gallon of gas. The reason our fuel is higher than the states already is because of of the high taxes they have imposed on fuel.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      This is just a thought as I can't claim this is the correct thing to do but will suggest it and you can decide if its something you would try. First round up some electrical contact cleaner spray as they at least claim its not supposed to damage the components ( brake cleaner depending on the type is a real destroyer of plastic etc ) and to use that to assist to clean out any grime from the pins as well as the mechanism by spraying and working the lever etc. Then my next thought is to use silicone spray lube and not on the pins but on the seal and the pivot assembly. It may not be possible to spray it on certain area's and have to use a q tip as Davestar mentioned to keep it from getting on the pins. Dielectric grease can be fine on some things but its easy to get too much on if not careful and then gunk things up and a possible risk of getting it on the pins or sockets. The silicone spray is able to get into a mechanical component to help lube and on surfaces its just a fine film to reduce friction such as that seal. Also it can be doused off with a good flush of the electrical contact cleaner the next time for a repeat of a "clean and then lightly lube" step process to wash off any dirt that had stuck to the exterior etc of the plug.   Free advice, yes. Good advice ... now there's the question mark !

      I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.
