Funny Noise From Take Off Once Stopped

I have a 2006 Sierra 1500 4x4 ext cab and recently I have been hearing a funny noise when I take off from stop or very slow under 5mph and give it gas. Its a 'whooop' (forgive me for trying to spell it but its a different kind of noise) and its only when I give it gas. Especially on hills when you are already coasting back so you give it a bit of gas to get going. I thought maybe brakes and I changed them anyways for inspection but still have the noise. It has 54,000 miles, nothing seems loose underneath like a shock bolt or anything.

 

Its not a horrible loud noise but you can hear it when it happens with the radio turned down. Feels like a pulling noise like something is trying to let go then it does only because I gave it gas. I even coasted to a stop not using my brakes and it gave her gas and it still did it so not brakes. Just wondering if its something anyone has heard of before? Everything else is great on the truck.

 

Come to think of it, it almost sounds like the noise your locking rear end makes when both tires spin. Maybe its rear end related? I know its a tiny bit low and I have the oil to put in it but I know its not dangerously low. I know the hillside thing makes sense now but I am NOT spinning tire at all. It will do it on the level as well as grades and its not enough power to be skipping then locking up.

 

Thanks and it does have a locking rear axle.

Have you checked your drive line u-joints? T-case? I wouldn't describe the sound of a locker going "whooop". More like a clunk

The only clunk I get is from my driveshaft and we all know they are known for that...the joints look good, have not checked the T-case...what might be the problem with the Transfer case?

 

when my locker kicks in on turf or snow, it does not 'clunk' at all. It makes a pulsating noise until I get grip. This is like one single pulsating noise, not many like when you are locking the diff up on wet turf. I only time I hear a clunk is if I hit the 4x4 on while giving it gas...and that does not happen very often.

GM had a problem in early 2000's with the driveshaft splines sticking in the back of the trans or transfer case. It made the same noise as you are describing. Pull the driveshaft, lube splines on output shaft, reinstall.

They also had the leaf springs make a noise between the leaves. Spray water on them( or WD40) to see if this is the problem.

My 06 CC/SSB Z71 does this. I think it's rear end related, either the brakes or the fluid. I used to get the noise a lot changed the rear end fluid and rear shoes/drums and it went away. 45K miles later it's back.

 

 

I'd describe mine as a quick squeak, higher pitched. You have to come to a complete stop to get it to do it. I almost at first would wonder if it was a bad bushing and as the axle rotated from torque input it would twist.

Thank you for the help. It probably started around 50,000 miles or so. I will do this and see what happens.

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
