I have a 2005 silverado 4wd. I have a clunking noise kind of like a chain sound coming from my front driver side & have no clue what it could be.. my wheel hubs dont have any play, recently changed my cv axles, but tie rod ends & upper ball joint on driver side do have some play… sway bar end links have no play also. Beat around on everything. No noise, only when rolling.  i dont wanna waste money on parts and it not be the problem. It only happens at low speeds & stops around 20-25mph. Noise isnt very consistent, kind of comes and goes. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Going to post a video of the sound also. Never heard a ball joint or tie rod end make this noise before so thats why im kinda ruling those out even tho they need fixed.

Backing plate rubbing? A bad BJ can make a creaking noise. Front diff not fully disengaged maybe?

I don’t have a backing plate on mine. I also took out the front driveshaft thinking the ujoint might have been the issue, but no luck. It’s in 2wd, how do you fully disengage it? The driveshaft spun freely before I took it out, so I’m pretty sure it’s disengaged… could be wrong tho.

Yeah if you can spin it by hand it should be disengaged I'd say

How long is the truck and have you checked the rear driveshaft/ u joints or if you have a 2 piece shaft with a carrier bearing could be that too.

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      I just purchased a 2004 Tahoe with 148,******. I used to have a 2006 Suburban that had the push button Auto 4X, 2Hi, 4Hi and 4Lo. When checking out this truck I noticed it had push button but didn’t focus on it. After the purchase when driving home, this is when I noticed it was different and after a little research found out it has the AWD stabilitrak system. I don’t live in an area that requires AWD. I bought the truck to start a new adventure in life with off roading, now that the kids are all grown up. I purchased the truck knowing it didn’t have the G80 rearend but plan on re-gearing to drive on 33s or 35s and upgrade with a rear locker and still be able to tow when needed. Blah Blah Blah Anyway I know am thinking about converting the stabilitrak  to Z71. I know I will have to replace the transfer case. So now the information gathering stage is happening to see if it is worth it. Is the front AWD stabilitrak differential different when compared to a non-AWD front diff? Will I need a completely different front differential or can it be converted? What else should I be considering? I did see something in a video for GMT900 platform with removing the ABS fuse that disables the stabilitrak and turns the truck into a 2 wheel drive. Would that work in the GMT800 platform?
