i82much Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 is this normal at 1800 miles? https://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=dnDQEa2A_IzkaJFv&u=/watch%3Fv%3DyfqhPCdX9TQ%26feature%3Dem-share_video_user Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4Pete Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I can't hear a problem, it sounds like normal driveline lash. Assuming of course that you're shifting from park to drive or reverse to drive. I haven't listened to my truck from that vantage point though. If it worries you and still under warranty get the dealer to check it out. If it isn't under warranty bring it by a local repair shop and ask if a tech can have a listen in the parking lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newdude Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Completely normal. 1800 miles, 100,000 miles. Normal gear/driveline backlash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i82much Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Doesn't the "clunk" sound seem excessive? I expect there to be lash, obviously, but the clunk doesn't make me happy. I should note that I have a "howl" noise when I am coasting, it goes away when you give it some throttle. Only seems to happen when the diff is fully warmed up.

4x4Pete Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 The clunk sound normal to me. A howling noise as long as it isn't too loud could be considered normal as well. There is a lot going on in the driveline. I would mention it when you take it in for the oil change. You may ask if a service manager or foreman to come for a ride. I had them do this for a torque converter problem in my 1500. The foreman wanted to drive and I insisted to be there to explain how to cause the condition. He drove, I explained what speed and load to be in the problem showed itself and the repair was done without multiple visits. You should try this to satisfy yourself if there is a problem or not.

Yeah I've got a few ideas. First, I'm going to take a better video with a light. Then, I'm going to do the same exercise with my 72 K10 and see how much movement and noise I get on the old one. Might even use some chalk to draw a reference line from the yoke to the axle housing to see how much movement I get in each case. When my oil change comes due I will bring it up. I also want to make sure I can duplicate the noise, it appears to only occur when the driveline is fully warmed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcleer Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I have 1300 miles on my 17' and also notice a noise when decelerating, somewhat of a gear whine. It is always present when decelerating but more noticeable at higher speeds. It seems loudest around 55 mph when off the gas. Have others noticed this? I see the OP has.

MotionMan Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 My tranny and rear end were horrible when new, now with 14k it is fine. Just normal break in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
