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.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
