I started gettting a clank (not a clunk) noise recently. It sounds like metal on metal. Wondering if anyone else has had something like this before I take it to the dealer. It's a 2022 LTD RST 3.0 dmax 10 speed. I'm not sure where the noise is coming from but it happens often when taking off from a stop or when accelerating to 2nd or 3rd gear and quickly letting off the throttle. 

 

It does not do it if I just sit idle and rev the engine. I have never heard any noises from the suspension going over bumps or anything. It makes me think it has to be in the driveline. Basically I can be sitting at a stop light, then hit the accelerator and a single *clank* right as I take off.

I think it's normal and coming from the transmission. My 22 6.2 10 spd & my 21 Yukon 5.3 10 speed both have the same noise. It's rather annoying and almost sounds like an old ac clutch kicking in and out. It's metal tinny sound

I have a 2022 Sierra SLT Texas Edition 4x4 with 5.3 and 10sp tranny doing the exact same thing. It’s currently at my dealer being diagnosed for that an a oil leak. Been there for several days and no info as of yet.

Got my truck back today and referenced your video, the mechanic and shop lead person said it was normal, but noted it on my paperwork. Anxiously waiting what your local dealer is going to tell you lonewanderer812.

I made a video. From the outside I can now tell it's coming from the rear diff area. More on the driver side.

 

 

Lay under your truck with it in park and have someone push it back and forth. That's the exact same noise mine has too. It sounds like it's coming from the front of the trans. I think it may be the stator shaft.

Whatever noise mine's making definitely isn't normal. It just started doing it within the past 1k miles. I wasn't able to get into the dealer for over 3 weeks so I'm still waiting and the noise is driving me insane. Driving in traffic with the windows down its just constant clanks as I speed up and slow down.

I can't get it to make the noise any other way besides putting load on the drivetrain and putting the truck in motion.

Have any of you guys gotten under the truck and tried to see if you can rotate the driveshaft back and forth while it is in park to hear this sound? Could it possibly be play in the driveshaft U joints or connections?

Update on this issue. Finally was at the dealer and they said it's definitely not normal and believe it's an issue inside the diff. They talked with GM and they told them they've heard of this happening with some of the newer G80s and advised them on what to do. Right now I'm waiting on materials to arrive to apply the fix. They were busy so I didn't ask for a deep dive on the issue. If this fixes it I'll ask for a technical explanation as to what caused it and update here. 

 

Whatever the issue is most likely was triggered by 500 mile trip towing a jeep. I didn't notice the sound before then.

Amazing how 2 different dealers can come up 2 completely different diagnoses. I will definitely reference your fix when completed and show my service dept. this fix. Thanks

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.
