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

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      So speaking of oil consumption with my L8T as I just changed the oil yesterday and made the switch over to Amsoil SS 0W-40 from the Mobil 1  5W-30 Truck and SUV I just dropped out. 2900 miles on that oil as well as  68 hours on that oil ( so used to equipment with an hour meter and that becomes valuable information to compare with others as well ). Once again the oil use was so very little, I am going to say it dropped under 1/16 of an inch on the dipstick. No towing was done and this interval was from early spring until now.    One interesting item to note is that going by the 5 quart jugs I was using before from Mobil, it was showing that I was putting in 8 US quarts to bring it to full if not slightly over the full mark according to their jug markings. Granted I did allow more drain time this time and in part because the engine oil was only lukewarm as I started it and let it idle and not for long enough to get the oil itself hot ( the engine was up to operating temp ). The oil in that state just seemed to take forever for it to drip out but not only at the drain plug but at the oil filter housing as well, perhaps I had never quite gotten all the oil out before and I could have still waited longer but as it was I waited well over 3 hours. I think next time if I have the time I will do an experiment by dropping the oil and lets say leave the pan under it for 15 minutes, then switch to another pail and let it drip out overnight and measure how much more oil comes out. So this time and yes I ended up getting it just over the full mark as I was experimenting with trying to get the level to the add mark after I had run it and then waited some and then added a bit and waited for a certain amount of time for it to settle to the add mark. I very well may not have waited long enough for that experiment but I got to the add mark, then dumped in a full quart and waited some and checked and then waited some more and it crept up more ... and then finally oops, it was slightly over full some hours later when it really had settled all it would. I find this engine sure takes time for the last bit of oil that gets poured in to finally make its way into the crank case. I can only guess at how much too much I added as per maybe a 1/10th of a quart. I had poured in 8.5 quarts going by the quart containers as per 8 quarts and 16 us ounces. I was shocked at how much this was off compared to the prior oil changes and if those larger jugs and they are not marked accurately enough or they contain slightly more than what they say, or the drain time factor made that much of a difference. But I know on this forum there have been others who have said they have put well over 8 quarts in their L8T and now I have also going by the Amsoil true quart containers. Its a confusing convoluted mess up here in Canada with some oil manufactures packaging is in true US quarts, some is also in true US quarts containers on an even number of quarts but also marked in liters which becomes the odd ball volume of a fractional amount of liters. Then there is the Liters only containers, no US markings as its a true metric container and only measured in Liters to an even number of Liters. But remember we used to have Imperial Gallons and Imperial quarts as well !.

      Holy smokes. Clearly not a deal on that truck. I just mean in general, matte or painted trim is becoming more normative than chrome, but I know the Black Optics packages on various vehicles are being sold as uplevel trims. They look really good, but sheesh. It's just paint and plastic.

      I Wouldn't Know Where to Begin    Oh I know where I would begin but I'm just one of over eight billion people on this rock. Eight billion versions of where the goal post is. How large it should be. How far to kick from. What ball is the right ball. Elevation. Age.....are you getting the point? It isn't about disagreeing with one individual. It's about agreeing only with one individual. One's self.   Agreement comes when multiple people hold the same point already. THAT is the goal of an education. Building the Social Contract. That thing that allows us to all read this sentence. We've agreed on the alphabet and how to arrange those letters into words we agree upon whose meanings hold true for everyone entering into that contract. Those words arranged into a sentence form an idea and several sentences strung together in a paragraph convey an argument for or against or inform the reader of a state, condition or perhaps reveal a things nature. Paint a word picture. Make oneself known.    This contract is not limited to words although they are often explained by words. Things like numbers and their usefulness. Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Music, Art and so on.    The frequency of middle C (C4) is 261.63 Hz is a first principle. We build on that to make music we all can enjoy even if we all can not compose or play. You don't have to master it to make it enjoyable and useful.    So why is the Beginning so difficult? Why is agreement so elusive?   Everyone "Signs" the contract (when receiving that education in obtaining it)  but fewer and fewer in this world have any intention of living by that contract. They find exploiting that contract more advantageous. Disruption. With intent. Without intent. In Ignorance. In your face. With a double dog dare you. With a hold my beer. In resistance to that contract and in spite how it looks on us. It permeates the very air we breath.    In this way the contract is subject to advantage. Abide by it when it serves you, disregard it when it doesn't. Unpredictable and self-serving. Corrosive.....Toxic........   It says a lot about a persons character to disregard the contract, the truth, first principles. None of it good.        ********************************************************   https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/character-vs-personality-who-we-are-and-who-we-aspire-to-be/   Just an interesting article.

      It costs $5,250 for the Yukon Nightfall option (black wheels, emblems and illuminated black GMC grill badge). What a "deal".

      I keep getting the above error message on my 25 Sierra.  If I reset the infotainment unit (via the phone hang up button) it will work again for a day or 2.   But I dont want to do have to reset  all the time. Works fine in my 2023 Corvette. On both vehicles I connect wirelessly.   I have a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, phone is up to date.  Any Ideas.  See attached
