I've checked out a few threads on here trying to find a similar noise to what I've been dealing with but either haven't dug deep enough, or haven't found one making the right noise. Started about 3 months ago and periodically gets better than worse again, but notice it the most on hot days. Started with only doing this around 50-55 mph but has since progressed to starting right after it shifts through each gear. No codes, no real changes in driving quality (hot days a little sluggish), more so it's just annoying. The groaning seems to be coming from the passenger side somewhere but I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly where. I've had some people throw me ideas such as injectors, torque converter, heat shield vibrations, all sorts of things from all over the truck, so I'm at a loss with even the slightest idea of what it could be. Been running Diesel Kleen through it just about every other fill up and I'd say there is some difference, not enough for me to say it makes it smooth out. Link is a not super great video from a few weeks ago of said sound

Have you checked the driveline? Bad ujoint, differential sound? Get it on a lift where you can operate with wheels off the ground…

 

Has mileage changed?  All stock? Mileage? Tires balanced?  Steering wheel stable? Just noise or feel in the seat/steering wheel?

 

Have you had the steering he led for loose/worn?  Pitman is a classic, especially if truck “lifted” or oversized or incorrect tires…

 

I think it’s worth investigating.

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
