New Z71 making noise

needhelp · August 2, 2004

I have a 2004 Chevy suburban Z71 and it started making this odd noise with less than 1000 miles on it. Doesn't matter if it is in park, or driving down the road, occasionally a noise that sound like squeaking brakes erupts for 5-10 seconds at a time. I can not make it reproduce the noise when I want it to. Any Idea on what could be wrong?

I hate to have to bring it in so soon. Has anyone else heard something like this?

Sounds odd. Not sure what it is either, but don't feel about bringing it in. Thats what they are there for

Squealing belt, adjuster, altenator, ac compressor? I assume it's coming from under the hood?

I really can not tell where it is coming from. When I get out to listen to it the noise stops. You can here it better if you are sitting in the back of the Vehicle. I was wondering if it could be the rear A/C unit. I took it into the dealer and it never made the noise when they had it. the day after I brought it back home it started making the noise again. The belt does not feel like it is wearing

Not much back there if the vehicle isn't rolling. AC fan (maybe), fuel pump. Do you have the auto-level feature?

No it does not have auto ride. I am taking it back to the dealer in the AM to see if the can fix it.

Thanks

2004 Z-71 Sub has Autoride.

Have a great one!

After further testing last night I think I have found out what it is. It is the A/c compressor. I guess the sound was bouncing of the walls in my garage and that made it sound like it was coming from behind the car. Thanks for your help.
