I have bought two 2017 GMC 1500 Denali's 4x4 and both have the rear end noise everyone has been describing on this thread and the others. I have a 20 year old truck at my ranch an it is quiet than these new trucks, very annoying. After about 5k miles is when I started hearing it on both trucks, on one truck dealership tighten leaf springs and that helped for about 30 days. The dealership keeps telling me its the floating axle in these trucks and that is just the way it is and cant be fixed. I cant believe GM would want to build a truck with this type of noise in rear end.
Maybe the only way to get satisfaction is to bring a class action suit since this cant be right, seems to be a very consistent problem, so likely a lot of us, everyone's getting a different story, etc.. I happen to know some guys that do this type of work and will discuss with them. Stay tuned.
