My 2000 GMC Sierra makes that same noise under same circumstances and I have no bug shield. It REALLY irritates me when i'm driving. Can somebody look into the "putting tape or glue on corner of the winshield" a little deeper?

GM had a service bulletin on this. by obyone

I don't have a subscription so I can't post the TSB but the TSB number is as follows:
 
GM TSB#04-08-48-003 Windsheild Reseal
 
You can find more info on it at www.alldatadiy.com if you want to pay for a subscription. Being that you're out of warranty by far it may or may not be worth your while. What is says is for the dealer to reseal both sides of the windshield with a GM approved adhesive.
 
At this point I'd buy windshield adhesive at checkers for $5 and go from there. Lift up the rubber flap, add the adhesive and tape it down till the adhesive cures. Good luck.

heartmaker. I had a 2004 z71 the noise your hearing is the front yoke on drive shaft.some of the yokes were made out of a different materal. some of the yokes were put on 2002 & up. There was some bullintens put out on them.stating the problem.there was some replaced in early years.The dealer may want to tell you he doesn't know any thing about it.I had all kinds of problems with that chev.there is also a noise when the tran. shifts from 2nd. to 3rd. & from 3 rd. to 2 nd.They won't fix that.I sold the z71 & bought a new tundra good truck hope i don't have any trouble with it.

Since this is a chevy/gmc topic I won't bore you with details on your Tundra. However, I will give you this link:
 
Toyota Tundra
 
Good luck on this one now.

I've got a '99 Trooper and installed a bug shield on the hood when it was new. The popping started. I removed the bug shield, and voila, the noise stopped except very rarely, when I am driving in a very strong cross wind that hits the windshield at an oblique angle.
 
I have read elsewhere that the wind turbulence lifts the trim that holds the windshield in place. If you secure the trim with adhesive, it goes away.
 
A friend with a F-350 had the same thing happen at any speed over 45 mph. We finally found that the rubber molding around the windshield was loose along the top of the windshield. The wind created a vacuum as it travels over the roof, lifting the rubber strip and making it vibrate. When stopped, you couldn't see anything was wrong. He glued it down, the noise completely disappeared.
 
Hope this helps.

04 chevy 2500 hd. Strange noise coming from rear of truck by rusticwood

It's a buzzing sound. I thought it was the fuel pump and replaced it yesterday but while driving it that night the same noise is still there. I realize that it could be the new fuel pump making the same sounds but with my luck that's probably not it.
 
What else is back there that could be making the noise. It does it while moving or standing still so it's not the rear end. It doesn't do it all the time either.
 
Thoughts?

I have the same problem with my 2002 Z71. At first I thought it was the e-brake sticking. I had the same issue with a 95 Silverado also. Let me know, Thanks

TPMS System by luvnsundays

I just bought a new 2007 silverado crew cab 4x4. I want to put a set of 20 inch wheels and tires on it. It currently has 17 inch ones on it. The truck has the tpms system and the dealership says I can only use GM approved wheels and tires or my gauges could start malfunctioning. Is this legit or smoke to buy through them. I have seen other trucks and even Hummers with after market wheels, I wonder if they have that problem....Any input would be helpful!

With those 20" rims you need to install 275/55R20 tires to match the current height of your stock tire setup. That way it will not affect the odometer, speedometer and ABS.
 
Your dealer is blowing smoke. Probably because he want you to buy it from him. Who did you talk to at the dealership?

The TPMS can still be affected by different wheel/tire combos because it's expecting the factory installed tire, and thus the pressure for that tire.
