Jingle jingle underneath only in 2wd

I’ve got a ‘21 LT 1500 with same exact issues, and it has the SU4 Code. Noticed the ticking more or less around 1500 miles. But it would come and go. Now at 8k miles, there’s no missing it.

 

I thought the jingle/tick was normal noise being the engine itself is already loud but that jingle and tick has turned into binding, clunking and thumping, all from the front diff. I thought it might have been the axles, but they are actually ok. I found play on the inner driver side. You guessed it, at the seal area. It moves so much it’s like there is another joint behind the seal. My guess is that whatever that issue may be is causing my clunking upon bumps and turning, and it’s weird that it only does it if I turn hard before ‘warming up’ (Ex. Backing out of driveway in the morning) OR it happens consistently at every turn after ‘warm up’, so often it makes driving through lots and parking embarrassing.
 

I have the trailboss lift, and ready lift level.  Explained to ready lift the issue and they state their lift is completely compliant even with the TB lift added and should any issue arise with me and my warranty because said level that I can have the dealer contact them directly. And since it is a published bulletin, it acknowledges that GM is aware that the SU4 code has been an issue for some trucks regardless.

 

contacted my dealer’s service department before bringing in my truck, the advisor is speaking with his warranty consultant now as he hasn’t heard of any trucks come back to them with issues concerning the front differential (SU4). 
 

Hopefully this issue goes smooth. Love the truck but hate this issue. Just want it working right.

So after many months, lawyers, and fighting with GM my nightmare is finally over.

With just days remaining before court I received a buyback offer.

I loved my Silverado for over 18 months, but GM’s inability to fix this issue was enough to make me move on.

I wish all others that are experiencing these issues the best of luck and pray a real fix is on its way to you.

So I posted on the last page about hearing the noise.  So I went to the dealer today and one of the techs or whatever drove it.  The dealer told me the noise is a hub bearing and will order the part and replace it.  This is what I wrote when I scheduled the appointment, but of course when I get there they ask for all my information again.  I did not reference the PIP below in person as from past experience they just ignore it and say they have to do their own diagnostic, which I totally understand.

Since my dealer is about 20 miles away I decided to try and get some video of the noise on the way home.  What do you think?  Bearing or the dreaded jingle?  First video is from my dash cam, so audio kind of sucks.  Sorry best video's I could get so far.

Hard to tell but if you go underneath there’s a bell shaped housing on your axle. If you could pull it back and forth it’s most likely the jingle.

Yeah there is a lot of play, but I thought I had read even the GM differentials, with no noise had the same play.  But here is the play in mine.  Guess I will know soon enough.

Whatever they did to mine fixed it.  No noise since November and I drive 300+ highway miles every week and used to hear it every day when I got off the highway.

Anyone ever say "F" it and keep on driving?  Mine seems louder than last summer, but I'm not going to even mess with it if they can't fix it.

Gm finally acknowledged the issue after I strapped a gopro to the drivers shock, pointed at the axle where it meets the tranfer case..

 

You would not believe all the other sounds it picks up under there.

Well surprise surprise (sarcasm), the dealer replaced the drivers side front wheel bearing and seals and what not on Friday and of course that did not fix the noise.  I have another appointment set up for Monday.  I was able to get better audio, I think partly because the noise seems to be getting louder!  I'm going to make sure I specifically mention this PIP bulletin or whatever to point these boneheads in the right direction.  https://www.carcomplaints.com/GMC/Sierra_1500/2019/tsbs/tsb-pip5653j.shtml.  My first Chevy and First truck was a 2019 Silverado 5.3L 8-speed LT truck, I traded it to transmission issues because the dealer said it was normal and I didn't feel like hassling with them anymore (also the fact I got what I paid for it after driving it a year).  The only good thing is that supposedly the truck is worth 52K and I paid 48K and I owe 42K, so already thinking it may be less hassle to just trade this darn thing away.  What do you think?

If that’s your only issue I wouldn’t trade it away. But to each his own. I would schedule a test drive and make sure you drive it for at least a half hour beforehand. The noise is more likely to be prevalent. Show them the slop in the axle as well.

      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.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      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.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
