rattling noise 07 tahoe

^ This. There's a recall for it so they shouldn't charge you anything. If it's cracked they replace it and put a neoprene "insulator" on it. If not they just put the insulator on.

Sorry for not getting back to this thread before now.

I'll check the dipstick. That makes sense. I don't know if I know what pinging/detonation sounds like, so I can't be sure it's that. In the meantime, it could certainly be the dipstick, if it's prone to rattle. I could imagine that being the sound I'm hearing.

Know where I could locate the recall?

Thanks.

Folks -- Where is this trans dipstick I'm looking for? Can someone post a pic of it? I'm not seeing it.

Thanks.

Passenger side of the engine bay and mine has a red top with a gear symbol. Mine is an 07 with the 5.3L AFM engine and 4l6oe tranny.
