I used some black mouse pad material , carefully cut with rounded corners, attached with silicone adhesive, no more noise and hardly noticeable.

 

That is brilliant.

Hey guys,

 

Just bought a low mileage 2015 Silverado crew cab LTZ.  I have had a bunch of trucks before, but this is my first Silverado.  One thing that has annoyed the hell out of me so far, is the fact that the fob/house key/etc. sway back and forth while driving, creating a tapping/smacking sound on the plastic steering column.

 

Does anyone have any proven ways to absorb/get rid of that noise? I bought some adhesive felt tonight and cut it into little rectangles. Placed it where the fob had been banging against the column, and it seems to work fine.  Not sure how long it will hold up/the adhesive will stick, but I figure it was worth the shot.

 

Anyone have any other ideas/mods to permanently get rid of the sound?

 

I know how you can eliminate the noise...  Replace the Factory Rancho shocks with Bilstein 4600 or 5100's   Problem Solved.  See Below on what happens to the Ranchos after several thousand miles.

My Z71 used to rock back and forth like a boat especially when on rough street transitions and backing out of the driveway. Ranchos were like pogo sticks.

I stopped buying from Amazon a long time ago, constantly receiving made in China and other foreign sweat shop garbage. Last year I ordered some birthday bag stuffers and when they came in the had a horrible toxic smell. Amazon doesn’t give a crap about you or me, they’re only in it to make profits from anything or anywhere they can. Like Trump, I’m done with Amazon, they’ve hit the bottom with quality.

To each their own. Junk is made everywhere. My wife buys lots of her permanent makeup products from China. Manufacturers from Germany, Sweden, etc. also contract with manufacturing facilities in China. It does take time to find a good distributor. Also, my buddy gets excellent distillation products for his business from China. I did take him years to weed through the junk. Nice to know that some blame Trump for all their problems. Like none of this went on for the last 8 years, huh? Keep voting. It keeps socialism alive and well.

China is known throughout the “World” as making some of the worst quality products period. China to this day holds the worst in Human Health, Human Rights, child slavery, oppression/murder towards its own people.

Yeah, you go ahead with your “to each their own” but let’s face it, dealing with China knowing all this is the reason why the American Industrial industry has suffered lots of it by the Democrats imposing immense export taxes on their own American Companies and all so they can line their own pockets. So, looks like Greed has a lot to do with it and at the expensive of America and the poor slaves in China.

Like all shopping, isnt it sorta up to the buyer to do some research on what they're buying? Lots of good sellers, and products on Amazon. Just like walking through a local store, you have to compare the good and the bad and get what you want

Assuming there’s common sense? How many people in these forums know this: 30% tariffs against American products that cross into foreign borders and yet almost zero tariffs towards foreign goods coming into America? American middle class suffers every time foreign goods are sought after rather than buy American.

 

My foreign customers specifically request NO Chinese steel products and they mean it due to horrible craftsmanship and very low quality steel. I could go on and on. At the rate we’re going, there will be no more factories in America, only store fronts, selling Chinese goods. Ooops, before I forget, Amazon was one of the super sellers that got caught selling Chinese copies as well as toxic products all in the name of profit, Greed at the expense of the American People. Got common sense?

TX: How is what China is doing Trunp's fault? Seems to me American businesses are now doing well since he took office. Many are now raising prices. You are talking out both sides of your mouth. Lots off folks in Ausiltin that do that too. Rome wasn't built in a day. Trunp has already done more for this country than Obama did in 8 years. But that wasn't hard. Ever wonder why the economy picks up when there is a conservative President? Not me. Oh, how are your investments doing? I still hear Democrats trying to take credit for the economy. Too effin funny.

China makes parts to a spec and price point. It just so happens they can make junk cheaper than we can.

 

If you spec quality parts from China, you can get them. But you’ll also pay for them, at which point the price advantage often goes away.

 

As China grows, their currency gets stronger and their price advantage gets shifted to smaller/weaker economies like Vietnam.

 

Same basic roadmap that the Japanese took. It wasn’t all too long ago that Japanese things were considered garbage...not anymore.

Did I misread this statement,  "Like Trump, I’m done with Amazon, they’ve hit the bottom with quality."? If so,  my apologies brother. Sorry for this to go off topic. I too, like many, hate, when I'm driving with no radio (listening to cool exhaust), my keys clickity, click. Very annoying. I like the felt adhered to the steering column idea and wish I had thought of the cushioned key fobs things.....
