I have a 21 Yukon w almost 40k miles on it now and the rear end is having issues. At slow speeds after the vehicle has sat over night, the rear end locks up until we get a mile or 2 on it. After that, it drives normal. It makes a grinding whining noise like a 4wd making a 90° turn. Fluid was full as well.

 

Dealer called and said only the fluid has to be changed and no damage was done to the diff. I would've thought after all the grinding and whining noises sometimes would've been damaged. Is changing the fluid only putting a Bandaid on it?

I have a 2021 Tahoe. It had been making a noise for almost a year. The dealership kept saying they couldn’t get it to recreate the noise over and over again. At my last service the noise was really loud, they heard it and said that it just needed differential fluid changed. Brought vehicle home, noise was much worse and I was almost at my 60,000 mile warranty. Took Tahoe back to dealership and after 4 weeks it was determined it needs a new rear end. And now the issue is getting one because apparently none are in stock. Dealer offers no loaner cars, GM has no policy on rentals other than they may reimburse up to $50 per day. We are now on week 7, no rear end and car is still sitting. Very disappointing!!!

Here is the solution to this common problem i fixed my 2021 suburban with the following 3 products and saved thousands because after dealing with this problem for over a year i was going to buy a new differential but before I pulled the trigger I decided to give this cheap solution a try and it worked 100% i have zero noise or vibrations it drives perfect 👌 I love my car again. Make sure you get 2 bottles of the ACDelco 10-4091 because the differential fluid capacity is almost 2 quarts. 
easy DIY project just need a little hand pump to put in the new fluid after draining the old fluid. drain plug is located at the bottom and fill up plug is at the back of the differential.


Dealerships are going to hate me for this tip Thank me later 😆

After 3 fluid changes with absolutely no improvement, they ordered a complete rear end.

Under warranty?  If not try my solution above

Have a 2022 Chevy suburban, just had to have the rear differentials replaced only 50,000 miles. Made horrible grinding noises at low speed turning left or right.  My Chevy dealership said this is the fifth one they’ve had to do.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
