Anyone with a CUSTOM trim truck have a scrubbig sound from the interior of the driver's side passenger door?

My 25' Custom has a sound, that's not what I'd call a rattle, but more of a scrubbing sound that comes from the driver's side, passanger door, on the inside. Forward, and up from the door handle, if that makes sense. Sounds like 2 pieces of soft plastic rubbing against each other.

It's right behind my left ear, if you're driving. 

Anyone else?

Not related to your problem, but about a month ago I started getting a fluttering noise in mine. It kept getting worse. I decided it was definitely speed related. Being basically lazy in my retirement, I ignored it. Took a trip with my noise sensitive wife. That upped the priority on finding the problem. Got about 30 miles when I decided it would need immediate attention or I would have to listen to it and my wife. 🙂 Stopped and started checking. Turned out the hood deflector had worked loose on one side. Bought some foam tape and inserted a piece of that. Problem solved.

Not precisely what you are referring to and not of any help, but...

 

I get a fluttering type of noise that sounds like it is coming from the front console / behind dash, driver's side area.  It happens intermittently and only when traveling approx. 20mph or faster, and again, not all of the time.  I don't what it can be.

This might be that loose bolt on the coolant reservoir. Pop the hood it’s on the drivers side fender near firewall. That bolt is loose on a lot of trucks. 
presented as a weird flutter sound going over bumps lower speeds. I tightened mine and no more noises.

I'll be darned.  Not that I have any noises but decided to check the reservoir bolts after reading your reply, they both were loose.  You da man @Pryme!!

Not your issue but I have a good one. I had a 2001 Silverado that developed a sporadic flutter at speeds above 60mph. It really annoyed me (because I couldn't find the cause) but it drove my wife crazy. Which in turn aggravated me even more. One day while driving I leaned forward to find the source and noticed it was the rubber cover over the hood hinges under the cowl panel. I guess the bug deflector on the hood contaminated the air flow. I replaced the rubber with a heavier piece and solved the issue.

Pryme, I checked mine and it was loose!  The side mounted bolt was very loose and the second vertically mounted bolt slightly loose.  I tightened both.  Time will tell if this was the fluttering sound I was experiencing.  Thanks for the tip!

I bet it is. Mine did it and when I tightened that up it was silent. That reminds me I might just check it again just to make sure those don’t have a tendency to back out. Still no noise

Update....It's been over two months since I tightened the bolts on the coolant reservoir....no more noises (at least the one I had)!

Thanks Pryme for the tip!

    • 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!
    • 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.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • 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.
