Subject: Tiny Rattle Noise From Roof At Highway Speeds - keywords body bow canning headliner metal sheet speed tin wind #PIT3067C - (11/08/2006)

 

 

 

Models: 2003-2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic

 

2003-2007 GMC Sierra Classic

 

 

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

This PI is being updated to add 2007 models. Please discard PIT3067B.

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

 

Condition/Concern:

Owners may comment on a tinny rattle type noise from the roof at highway speeds. This noise normally occurs if the vehicle is equipped with a "Topper/Cap/Camper Shell" that is higher than the roof line of the truck or when towing a trailer.

 

Recommendation/Instructions:

To correct this concern, use an expandable (minimal expansion, such as, 3M 04320, Kent P10630 or equivalent) foam between the roof cross bow and roof sheet metal. Then install four 10" x 10" sound dampener pads to the under side of the roof sheet metal.

 

One supplier of sound dampener pads is Kent Automotive at 1-888-YES-KENT. Kent part number for 10" x 10" pads is P32947 or equivalent, quantity 10.

 

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
