Message: [QUOTE="knaffie, post: 1219298, member: 16781"] Do we know what causes the noise? How to minimize it? It comes and goes in my truck. The two trucks I test drove were super quiet, as was my truck when I bought it. Then it slowly got louder and louder. Some days its very annoying and loud. Other days it quiet like it used to be. Driving to work the other day, it was especially loud, then about 200 yards from home, it went almost completely quiet and stayed that way all the way to work. Literally like somebody flipped a switch and shut the noise off. Then after work it was rattling again. I've heard fuel quality is important. I usually get gas from Meijer, which is known as good stuff and has Schaeffers treatment in it. I also put an additive in every tank. Power Service this winter, and I'm using XDP now. If not Meijer, then usually a high-volume station near an interstate like Love's or Pilot. One of the main reasons I bought this truck is how quiet it was when I test drove it. Although the idle noise is always quiet (I can actually order in the drive-throughs now), the driving noise is really getting on my nerves. It's really been making a lot of noise lately. My wife said the other day she misses my Duramax, and in regard to the noise while driving, I would have to agree. I need to find a way to keep this thing quiet all the time. [/QUOTE]
