Got the truck back the other day. They told me no issues found anywhere. Transfer case and trans good. Told me it’s potentially tire noise. Just had a snow storm yesterday, put it in 4hi again; noise disappeared! Back in 2wd, noise starts back up. Switched it a few times to confirm. Hmmmm


That's weird
Usually it's the other way around
Mine has a slight whine in 4hi

This, should be the other way around. Wonder if something is ever so slightly cocked off center, and when torque is applied it straightens itself out....

I am on my 3rd GM 4x4 and the only time I heard a front whine was when I was in 4WD - and like you have observed the steering feel is much different when in 4WD. I would still not rule out an issue with the front diff. a small mismatch in the gear mesh could cause a whine when not powered. It might also be more noticeable when decelerating. The lash could still be in spec,  maybe on the edge, but in spec. It sounds like the dealer has closed the case on you. You have an option of going to a different dealer and letting them take a look at it, or perhaps find a shop that specializes in drivetrains like a transmission shop and get their opinion. It all depends on how much it bothers you.

Try swerving left and right slightly while it is making the noise and see if you can make it  change when putting more load on one side of the front end. If it's louder when you swerve right the issue is on the left side usually.  (Retired Mechanic)

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.

      Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:

      Interesting pivot.

      The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
