Driver Side Creak- Inside- Video

1Cord said:
Take it in and have them re-torque the cab bolts on the driver side. I have the clunk that a lot of others are experiencing and the tech tightened my cab bolts and the noise got much better. I did hear a little creak this morning but nothing like it was before the re-torque.

Following. I have this squeek too. Very quiet, but noticable on driver side. Sounds like it's coming from down low. Only when vehicle is under way and goes over a less-than-smooth surface. Intermittent and seems to happen when temperature is down below 40deg F.
 
Yeah it was a bit warmer today around 55 degrees.. when I noticed the noise it was around 36 degrees the other night but it went away today... interesting.
 
My truck had the clunk when turning at first but it kind of went away on it's own and got replaced with this exact creaking noise from lower driver side. I thought it was in the seat but I think were on to something here with the cab mounts. Can't wait for a fix as this is the only noise my truck makes that is absolutely driving me crazy!
 
I’m thinking the recent tsb should address it. Mine goes in two weeks.

These trucks are so quiet that when you do have a noise it's very noticeable and annoying!

My truck has 2 annoying noises. 1) the panoramic headliner clicks and ticks because the Velcro fasteners are not aligned properly. 2) it sounds like a bolt is rolling around in the dash. It intermittently happens when the truck starts or stops moving. You hear this big rrrriiiiippppp!

I had the dealer tighten down the driver side cab bolts. I thought this had fixed my problem, but the last few days, I've noticed the creaking again. Its very frustrating. When its cold it creaks and when its hot it clunks.

Theres a TSB for the clunk.
 
The bulletin shows to replace the front cab mounts from what I read. Nothing about the previous stuff about the brackets etc.
 
Bulletin replaces front a pillar mounts. Both of em. Also all 8 cab bolts must be replaced. Mine has been done. Whisper quiet now.
 
Good to know there is a fix. Took mine back to the dealer three days after I bought it. They couldn’t replicate it. I’ll call them up now and make an appointment to fix. How long does it take?
 
Dropped mine off today for the noise and the dealer ordered everything needed per the new TSB. Parts should be here tomorrow.

Same here, So the dealer didn't give you any push back to change the cab mounts for the creaking even though it doesn't clunk? That gives me some hope, the creaking is driving me crazy.

No they didnt, when i brought it in this morning I printed off the TSB.

I'm going to wait and see if this fixes your issue, if it does I'm going to push for the dealer to perform the TSB. Please let me know the results.

I will keep you posted. I should have the truck back on Wednesday.
 
The tsb does correct the sound of you have the creak. Some trucks do need to have the floor board altered. The tsb doesn’t do that. That’s part of a star publication. 2 separate cases. Mount is upgraded. Doesn’t have the plastic shin anymore. Also the bolts are replaced but not updated.
