Once the broken bit is joined it would then be a simple matter to use some filler to produce a paintable finish.

One is directly over the leak.
Any experience with this problem would be helpfull
My 08 GMC has single antenna for OnStar/XM (or if it does have 2, they are both in one black device).
I called the ONSTAR and they said it has something to do with the emissions, DUH!
Well I mad an appointment with a dealer and when Im about to take it, the ligh goes off, so I cancel my app. The next day it goes back on again, this time the auto tracking light flashes about ten times also. Ive never touched that button before so I have no idea what the hell is going on. Somone told check my gas cap, I did and it was secured. Anybody having simillar problems out there or now what the deal is? I'd appreciate it.
In the past, it had been stuck "open" (where as the latch hook was in the way and had to be "pushed in" in order to close)...
I should have lubricated it before this happened, when I had the chance but I wasn't quick enough... :sick: Let me know if you find a simple fix to this problem...
Thanks, Shawn
I researched the forum and found several posts pertaining to stepbars/running boards being improperly tightened. I do not have stepbars on my truck. One poster said they took it in and had to have the body mounts tightened up, and a grounding strap.
I am going to take it to the dealer next week, but was hoping for a little feedback on anyone else's experiences. Anyone else ran across this problem?
I took my truck in for the squeaks and rattles and this is what they told me. Now I haven't had the repairs done yet, so I do not know if they solve the problem (ordering parts). But the dealership did have two items addressed by "GM Service
Notes".
I took the truck in complaining of: Squeaking of doors when going over over curbs, rattle in driver's door, and noise from rear of truck when going over bumps with latteral motion.
Items they are fixing.
1. Squeaky Cab - Missing shims in body mounts. Ordered mounts and shims to replace front 2.
2. Rattle in drivers door. Weather stripping to be replaced per service note from GM
3. Noise from rear of truck. New spring spacers, per service note from GM.
I hope this takes care of my problems. I'll let you know when I get it done next week. If it does, I'll be happy to send you the repair order so you can show it to your dealer.

Thanks. :sick:
I too am quickly joining the group of people on the forum that regret buying this truck every time I get in it. :mad:
We'll see what happens over time.
It is amazing how much more I like my truck when it isn't creaking. Last weekend I was ready to put a big bow on it and drive it through the dealership front window.
I'm very frustrated as I absolutly hate driving the truck with the creaking noises. I now have a customer service rep from GM assigned to me. We'll see what happens next.
Even if they can fix this truck, I really do regret purchasing it. I don't think all silverado's are like this, but this experience has let me know that GM still can't put together a vehicle with an interior that holds together. :lemon:
Sounds to me like an incompetent dealer. I'd have move on to another dealer after the second go around. If you had called GM customer service they would've told you the same thing and given you a list of dealers that you could visit in your area. Also, being that it's a Chevy unless you live in the desert I'm sure they would be a bunch in your area.
This being a pride thing among dealers what I've found is that the second dealer would take it like a challenge especially if you mentioned that you had taken it in twice to ABC dealer and they couldn'f fix it.
I spoke with the dealership about this and the noise reduction tape. The service manager said that the tape is usually a temporary solution that lasts for a few thousand miles. The good news (hopefully) is that he said it is usually a precursor to a part replacement and rattled of an example with the Malibu and a similar problem.
I'm going to try and get in there next week for the tape.
Thanks for the update.
In reference to the clunking noise I can tell I had a issue with the differential.When I would come to a stop it would feel as if someone would hit me from behind.
My truck has become a topic of many conversations at work also since five of us bought trucks all at the same time but different brands. Now all I hear is the other lots have vehicles that don't rattle..............
What could have been the real cause is the rear seat belts. Those things will hit the sides and make a really deep clunking sound, not the kind of noise you would think they would make. I would have I never of guessed that they were actually making the sound I was hearing until I buckled them and it quit. Make sure you hook them into those little clips so they don't flop around.
I experienced this clunking only when there was lateral motion as well, so I'm betting it is 1 of the 2 things listed above. I would seriously try buckling the seat belts in the back and driving over a curb a few times first, then go after the service bulletin which is number 03-03-09-002
If you get any more info on the problem please pass it along. I will do the same.
