EXGM Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Did the noise start after you lowered the truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsanders347 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Open the lid on your console. Mine squeaks on a gravel driveway unless it's open or has weight on it. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mctwist77 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 No it did it before. Ok I'll try that. If it is the lid, how did you get it to stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mctwist77 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Not the lid. I'm just going to spray a shit ton of white lithium grease into the dash and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXGM Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Not the lid. I'm just going to spray a shit ton of white lithium grease into the dash and see what happens. I think that may be messy and not the desired result you want. You might be better served if you think it's coming from the dash to remove the top cover and drive around and see if you can pin point the noise. Maybe have a buddy drive truck while you listen grab different parts to see if they go away. Back when I was working for the General I was working with a dealer on a Saturn Sky that had a bad interior rattle. They stripped that thing down to nothing and I drove around with the tech, we couldn't find the noise. I had them remove the dash and they found a broken spot weld in the dash support structure. I'm telling you to avoid more frustration buy or preferably borrow a set of chassis ears to help you pin point the noise. One other thing I thought of have you looked underneath to make sure nothing is "grounding out" For example heat shield or exhaust hitting cab or frame?

mctwist77 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Matt thanks for the advice. That was my next plan but..... I THINK I figured it out. I'm pretty positive that its the seat belt where it clicks into the seat. I've drove around with my belt off today and no noise, then when I put it back on the noise came back. Looking back on it, it makes sense. I had the noise when I was stopped if I moved, I had the noise when I first applied the brakes (which was me moving very slightly in my seat) I had the noise when I turned hard to the left or when I hit certain bumps (again me moving in my seat). I also couldnt replicate the noise in my driveway because I dont put my seat belt on when I working on my truck. I'm planning on spraying some white lithium grease into the mechanism, do you guys think thats the best product to use? Also, thanks everyone for their pieces of advice in my time of need!

70chevy03ss Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 You know it's funny I was going to say that. It's a tiny tiny sounding squeak right. Lol my truck now does it. It's annoying. Is there a way u can take the cover off. I would be afraid the grease would get every where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mctwist77 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Yeah, it happens super randomly. I was just going to spray some grease in the slot, so to speak... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXGM Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Glad you figured out. You probably can replace the seat belt for 60 bucks. GM seat belts are pretty reasonable. I may replace mine it doesn't return that well and it bugs me. I gotta figure out how to take seat apart. It's been a while since I seen one apart and that part of memory bank is fuzzy.

03SSBoy Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 omg I completely forgot about the seat belt mine does that too lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoot Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 I have been fighting with my truck to find this squeak.... I never even though of the seatbelt lower but I am going to go after that now to figure it out. The upper seatbelt retractor is squealing also now that I am focusing on finding the little squeak from the "backseat" area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
