you are wrong!! I've been buying new GM products since 1990 , it is not inherent because it's a truck, I've never had one make noises. other than the brakes when they started wearing out.I apologize if this offends you but, DUDE it's a friggin truck. It is going to squeak, it is going to clink and clank every now and then. It ain't a Cadillac brother, it's a friggin truck. It could be OCD. I also noticed that you have a heavy hitch on the rear. If you haul heavy stuff all of the time, you can expect more squeaks, clinks and clanks.
