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.

Well the thing is that there is no permanent fix for a majority of the people.  I love the truck in every other way, no other issues have come up besides my parking sensors acting a little wonky sometimes.  I just don't have faith that a permanent fix is out there based on what I have read so far, both here and on Facebook.  I would much rather not trade the truck since I already fixed it up the way I like.  Nothing too major but I have done muffler, exhaust tips powder coated, black and red emblems, vinyl wrapped some of the interior, Amp power step running board, etc etc and it is gonna be a pain to start all over again.  Guess I will see what happens when I take it in on Monday and go from there.

One failed repair attempt down.  They replaced the hub bearing, which of course did not fix the noise.  I took it back the following Monday and they could not hear the noise.  TBH I couldn't either but probably bc I went to the dealer in the morning when it was cooler.  This video was taken the day after the hub bearing was replace.  This is already becoming annoying.  Supposedly I have 14K equity in the truck according to KBB. Hmm what to do what to do?

Well I had some Bilstein 6112 put on the front today and now have a noise. Hoping it just needs a better alignment. What do you jingle experts think. 2020 Sierra elevation x31 with 8,000 miles. SU4

notice once I get a speed of 15 MPH. BTW Shocks feel amazing over the ranchos. Can’t wait to get the rears delivered and installed. Would warranty give me a hard time about the new shocks “causing it”

I will be following this closely as my truck started making noise last Friday on our first warm day. We went on a 120 mile round trip it was 75 degrees, I noticed the jungles soon after the truck was warmed up and didn’t say a word to my wife. I wear hearing aids and couldn’t determine the source but on the return trip my wife asked what the noise was...and my truck only has less than 5K miles! So on the next warm day this week I will try the 4WD mode to see if that changes the noise. 
I'm so happy I saw this as I knew the dealer wouldn’t of been able to confirm any noise, hopefully GM can fix our trucks the first time this time!

Sounds exactly like the issue everyone is having to me.  Pretty sure this is not an alignment issue.  Welcome to the club 😕.

They did the latest TSB on my truck a few months ago and I haven't heard the noise again. We shall see when it starts to get a bit hotter outside.

Well, my jingle is back. This time it is more noticeable in reverse when locking out left and right. Chevy dealership replaced stub shaft on PIP5653J and the other supplied parts. Scheduled a new appointment with the dealership about a new problem with an error code of brake failure code P25A2. Along with the noise, so hopefully I can chat with them about the PIP5653K that was posted earlier. My truck is literally falling apart after a year and two months of ownership. Reached out to a lawyer to review my potential case. My frustration level is threw the roof with this purchase. I'm going in for my third repair attempt for the stub shaft / front diff … So hopefully I will have a case and eventually get this resolved.

i definitely have this too. 2020 z71 crew with 11k miles. it's definitely occasional, as it takes a while for it to make the noise and seemingly doesn't make the noise other times. now i know where to pinpoint the issue when i take it in. definitely goes away when i put it into 4x4. no idea what it's called, but the metal part out from the transfer case that connects to a rubber boot is 'loose' on the drivers side, and tight on the passenger side.

2020 LM2 Z71. Dropped mine off for this and the common leaf spring noise. I handed them both bulletins and they were able to confirm both. I'm to the point where I'd like to just use Auto 4wd consistently to avoid hearing it. Mine starts after it gets warm and continually gets louder. Can't have my windows down at highway speeds. I talked to the service guy and he said he'd never seen a service bulletin go unfixed. Not sure I believe that. Hoping some diy'er comes up with a solution because I love the truck.

Several of us have apparently received successful fixes. 
 

Mine was done last November and 6,000 or so miles later no chirping. 
 

I drive 40 minutes at freeway speeds each way and used to hear it every time I got off the interstate. Nothing now.

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • That computer lies!
    • 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.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
