Terrible sound? Help

HALSSSR · 04-04-2006, 10:31 PM

I have had my SSR in the Chevy Dealer for five days with a laundry list:R/R door
fix both sides,tighten front fog lamp bezels,put foam insulator in front firewall?
suppose to quite engine noise,volt meter R/R pegged at 16V, new ring and pinion
gears and bearings,serpentine belt squelch fix,loose wheel caps fix,Have some
intermitent rattles in dash,would'nt make noise when test drove with S/Mgr?!

I Truly want to give these guys double thumbs up for their professional attitude
and sincere dedication to the task and I shall,however,when I picked it up
this afternoon,as I drove off and got on it to see if the belt would squelch,it didn't
but one hellevua a slapping sound,like a strap was banging on the under carriage? At first I thought the engine was backfireing?! Any thoughts Guys?!

I left my SSR at the service department and they gave me a car to drive home
very apologetic,all techs had gone for the day. Iam sure they will find the culprit
It would be nice to give them a head start?! Hal

Maybe the belt broke?????

Maybe they were in such a hurry to get it back to you, they accidently closed the hood on one of the techs and he was banging to get out?

No, this sound was lite metal sound? Iam not a tech guy,just a general understanding at best

I love how serious you all are

I just got off the phone with the Service Manager,Mike Wilson,Grey Chevrolet,Port Orchard,WA. Mystery solved,He
wasn't very happy,he said to me,Hal I wanted everything to be perfect for you
because I know how fussy you are,however,in our haste to get everything
finished in time,the tech left a piece of wire that he used to hold the drive line
up when they took out the rear end,so the culprit was a piece of wire thank God

If anyone in the local area needs any mechanical work done on their vehicles
IMO,these Guys are super! Thanks Mike WilsonS/MGR and as requested their
best tech!
