2019 SILVERADO FRONT DIFFERENTIAL NOISE!

Maybe this forum can help me.

 

I purchased my 2019 Silverado last month. It currently has 900 miles on it. From day one, I noticed a rotating clicking noise coming from the front... I did a couple of tests of my own and found out that it only makes this noise in 2X4. Whenever I put it in 4X4, the noise quits... once I take it out of 4X4, the noise stays gone for a while but eventually returns after driving it for a while.

 

I took it to the dealership and they put it on the rack and spun the driver-side front tire.... found out that the click was coming from that area. The dealership replaced the Front Differential with a new one (did not replace the CV) but the noise is still present.

 

Can anyone help me diagnose this?

Sounds like either a wheel bearing issue or a CV joint.  Probably the CV if it comes and goes with 4WD.

You have a brand new truck with a full warranty.

Why ask for diagnosis here?

Take it to your dealer and let them handle it. :thumbs:

I had this same exact issue and just had it resolved after a few trips to the shop. I was told that rubber boot that is on the front drive shaft was dry. When the drivetrain warms up that rubber boot was squeaking against the drive shaft with a rotational noise. They packed the boot with grease and it is fixed. I hope this helps anyone with a similar issue.

WOW I have had the same issue, first they said transfer case, then rubber boot, and then differential, then the one (differential) they replaced came back with noise worse than before, after warm up rotating noise..  trippy!  I have had this problem from day one of ownership.  I'll be sure to book mark this thread see how many others are out there. I am currently still waiting on fix for this issue.

I had my front end differential replaced last week and I also still have the rotational noise when the drive line warms up. My dealer was reaching back out to the GM techs to see where they should go from here. This is definitely a huge disappointment . I am anxious to see what they will do next because this is obviously becoming a problem with these trucks.

Mine is doing the same thing. 19 Rst Z71 5.3. Only does it in 2wd, put it in auto and it goes away. Just 4,000 miles. Build date of 10/18. Goes into the dealer Wednesday. Not going to say anything about the tsb, interested to see what they say.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By richard wysong · Posted

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      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.
