Since new I have had a whistling/metal rubbing coming from my left front tire  used to only happen when I was driving 40 k to 80k/h. Now happened all the time from 40k/h and up. Goes away in 4wd. And comes right back in 2wd. I tried the usual test for a wheel bearing and seems fine. I now have 130k on the truck.  Brakes will need to be done soon. I was planning on doing them when I switch back to winters. Any ideas?

I have 2020 Silverado. Same symptoms,did a ride along with dealer mechanic showed how it stops in 4x4. They took in and told I needed brakes. Checked wheel bearings all good. My mechanic said front brakes were good maybe your tire. I needed tires 70 k. Noise stopped then started again. Could be the front brakes ( bad indicator). I am trading it in so let someone else look for it.

The "infamous, Jingle, jingle" sound strikes again! There is a very long thread on here about it. Here, I believe, is the latest fix for it. PIP5653M

Wow good to hear. I guess my GM dealer doesn’t get these bulletins or doesn’t want to. I even to the mechanic out for a ride and put in 4x4. Said it was brakes and wanted to charge 900 dollars. I said no way. I am going to bring this bulletin down them. Thanks for the in

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?

      BAK Revolver bed cover

      Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
