| Parked truck at outside stall and went indoors. after about 20 minutes i heard noises and went outside. found the whole truck was engulfed in flames. by the time the fire department arrived 6 minutes later the fire spread to two additional vehicles. the heat melted and consumed everything except the frame. the fire investigator suspects the fire initiated due to electrical failure and generated from either the driver side dash board or left side of engine. the damage was too destructive to pinpoint exact cause. *tr | |||

| When the temp outside is about 40 degrees or cooler, something under the vehicle rattles(driver front). this rattling is metal on metal, and sounds like rapidly banging 2 steel cans together. the noise dissipates after driving the vehicle for about 10 minutes, but is quite noticeable when going over bumps in the road during the first 10 mins of usage. *nm | |||

| New 2005 silverado 2500 hd 6.0l, random, metal popping, cracking noises while in motion, and parked. sounds like small rocks hitting the sheet metal body. sounds are not isolated to one area on truck, come from all over, both sides. started almost immediately after purchase. dealer says it is related to heat shields and a service bulletin is published by gm. i am supposed to get a recall notice within 30 days or so. i cannot find a recall notice/service bulletin for this in anyone's records. *jb | |||
