My 2022 purchased 12/21 z71 started doing this around 5-7k miles with 18k on the clock now. I noticed that it takes about a half hour of driving around town or out on the highway before the scrapping noise starts. Sounds a lot like a rock in a brake caliper. I quickly learned that putting the transfer case into 4auto would instantly stop the noise. I was advised by the sales person to only run in 2hi until I needed 4x4, so that's what I've done from the beginning of ownership at 22 miles. I'm the sole driver. 

To me since this is clearly related to the transfer case, that it must be something not set or shimmed correctly. I'm very hesitant to report this to my dealer until I'm confident they have found a true fix. I don't want them doing research and development on my dime.

I know this thread is alittle old but I recently bought a used 2019 Silverado 1500 used from the local dealership. Has 62k miles z71, completely bone stock, 4wd. 
 

this is my 5th Silverado and my newest one. Brought it home from the dealership the other night and had no issues. Next day as I was driving I heard what sounded like A cricket. Metal rubbing on metal. I took a video and this is what it sounds like. Is anyone hearing this same sound? Has anyone gotten to the bottom of it? Thanks!

It sounds like it may be what this thread is talking about.

Has anyone had a for sure fix for this? Mine does it and goes away when in 4 wheel drive. I use my truck daily and really don’t want the service department trying stuff for weeks.

I'm still under warranty with the hope someone reports back with the fix before I hand the truck over for exploratory surgery

Mine is also making the growling noise…. 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 66k on the clock noticed it around 58k , neighbor has a 2019 Silverado 1500 with 60k on the clock same noise on his as well….. paying attention to this thread for a fix……. Certainly not letting my local dealer touch it until a fix is known.

Mine sounds like bad wheel bearings or rusty brake rotors….. rotors not rusty and had a well respected shop check wheel bearings and they are fine. That shop said it sounds like wheel bearings but no evidence bearings are bad….. they have had a couple customers who have had similar trucks into the local dealer with not fix.

Thank you for this information. This looks like the fix I’ve been waiting on. I was very hesitant to have my dealer dig around experimenting on my truck needlessly.

I just posted a thread on this sounding like the exact same issue. I never wanted to take it to the steelership for these exact reasons. And I am out of Warrenty.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
