Back in Jan this year i installed a Kenwood component system in my front and rear doors , and a while back i started to hear a rattle, but i checked all the components and there all tight. It sounds like its coming from the driver front door and its pretty noisey, but it only makes this noise if im driving and hitting some bumps, if i just open the door and shake real hard it dosent make a peep. I took it to the dealer and they said it was the plastic covers on my crossovers but i took them off and its still their. it sounds like plastic on plastic , and the other day i noticed that when i apply pressure to the driver window it will go away so idk really where it is but im starting to think its in side the door, not just behind the door cover. Btw this is a 2007 silverado gmt 900 just fyi. so if anyone can help me please do im lost and frusterated!!

I have a 07 1500 XC NBS with the exact complaint. I have been to the dealer twice with no luck. I plan to continue to seek a fix. I will post an update when it happens.

Just checking in here. I have an 08 Crew Cab NBS, and I have the same problem with my factory setup. It's hard to diagnose when you're driving down the road and trying not to crash. I wonder if this is more commonplace then we think?

I have a 2007 GMT900 that has the same problem in the driver side doors. My doors were removed and skined/repainted after a minor collision. I had found that the latches that hold the door closed to the pin had not been reinstalled with locktite and had worked loose. I fixed this problem, but continue to have the plastic on plastic rattle over bumps. It is very anoying. I suspect that there are plastic clips that retain the door panels, these probably were not replaced with new units when the repairs were made...Hopefully I can look into this durring the holidays.

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.

      I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
