24 2500 HD front diff squeaking.

[20L8TSierra24]

I've read about several 24's squeaking at idle. Mine squeaks while in gear but not in neutral. At idle (in gear) I have had a faint squeaking sound for several thousand miles. The sound is coming from the diff right where the drive-shaft is. I can spin the forward shaft and replicate the squeaking by hand. The noise is getting louder as I put more miles on the truck. 

 

Taking it in this week for this and also a Trans shudder upon light acceleration or going up any incline with the cruise on.

Dropped off today.

 

Front diff needs disassembly to determine what's squeaking. Noise almost sounds like a washer or shim rubbing the inside of the housing. 

 

The Trans has to also be looked into further. The shudder is during light acceleration or up any incline with a trailer hooked up. The truck also has a louder than normal converter whine to it as well. It's most noticeable around 1800 RPMs or so. Almost sounds like a turbo at times. Dealer said they're going to dig into the transmission/converter to determine the problem. 

 

Owned it for 2 months and it has 12k miles on it.
