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

So after 3 trips to the dealer, they finally found out the issue. It turned out being the transfer-case making the noise and they had to replace it. They replaced it about 2 months ago and I haven't h

GM had to buy my truck back from me.   Replaced the whole front end and could not get rid of the noise.   Blamed it on the axle manufacturer

I started with my dealership.   Then talked to their GM representative.   Also sent an email to GM and started a  file with the issue.   I  would leave my truck with the dealership.   Drove several loaners through the 5 months.   Drove the last loaner for 5-6 weeks  until they  bought my old truck back.   Just have to be persistent,  don't take no for an answer.   Good Luck

Thank you for the information ! I have had so many problems with this truck already in addition to this problem too. It's horrible , I am so pissed about the whole thing. I am happy I decided to lease this one so I know for sure it won't be my problem forever if I get nowhere .

Plus One! I have a similar problem. Our 2019 Silverado 5.3 is a 4X4. We have had a "squeaky" noise coming from the front. Thought it was brakes at first, but it goes away in 4 wheel drive mode. In 2 wheel mode it starts squeaking around 40 mph. It only happens after the truck is warmed up (like 30-40 minutes of driving) Of course it has been to several different dealers. They can hear it, but can't fix it. I was told GM was "working" on a fix. Of course I called the 800 number and started a case. I was not kind. For what these trucks cost, this type of problem is totally unacceptable. So, about 4 weeks after my tirade, I am told there is a fix. They will be replacing the front differential with a new one. Some sort of seal issue they said. Hope it works or they are going to have one pi$$ed off customer in their face again.

I was told a bad front axle assembly.   Replaced mine,  still the same issue.   Traded me into a new truck,   so far so good.  5500 miles in so far

The noise comes back. 

 

You can be as mad and mean as you want GM customer service doesn't care and will not do much to help you.

They did the differential as my first fix months ago and it didn't work , then there was a bulletin that said don't attempt to fix . Now they just came out with a fix where the replaced a slinger and other parts and still no good. I blast GM they don't seem to care and as usual I must bring it back yet again before they will do anything further. I am just glad I leased this one because I have a feeling they will never have a fix and I just hope by 2022 they work out all the kinks !

Wow! That sucks! But I suspect you are right. I will give them a chance to fix it. If the squeaking does not go away, or comes back, they will be buying the piece of shit back from me. I can be very persistent. They WILL get sick of me!

Do you know which axle you have per the build order on the new truck? Sounds like the code for the problem axle is SU4. I was curious if your new truck has the better one (SU5?) and roughly how many miles before  issues started on the first vehicle. Really interested in the Silverado with the Duramax but have zero interest in purchasing an expensive problem. Thanks for the insight.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
