    Noise steering drag? Front differential? Auto 4WD

    I serviced both the front and rear differentials about 4000 miles ago and used dealer purchased oil, when I drained The front Diff there was a little bit of metal on the magnet built into the drain plug but I didn’t think it was excessive for 270000 miles, it’s was a bit thick it it may not have...

    Noise steering drag? Front differential? Auto 4WD

    I know this is a bandaid but I just dumped over $4000.00 into it and the $$$ are a little thin right now I thought it would have been something I replaced already the 3 garages I took it to kept saying the hubs or the CV joints even after I replaced them now that I have actual video and audio...

    Noise steering drag? Front differential? Auto 4WD

    I was thinking of getting 2 used CV axles and cutting the shaft down so only the spine was left this would effectively disconnect the front wheels from the differential! Until I can replace it see the photo of what I was thinking of doing this should not affect the suspension negatively just...

    Noise steering drag? Front differential? Auto 4WD

    Here’s a GoPro video of the noise, you have to ignore the steering pump at slow speed and the buzzing (Its the wind vibrating the GoPro case) and wait till I’m on pavement the stone drive masks the sound,you can hear the clunks and such as I slow down and speed up, it sounds like the bearings in...

Once I found a YukoI wanted to pull till parts from I saw blood all over the interior I told them and the desk clerk got nasty because I brought it up in front of everybody it looked like someone was...

    Noise steering drag? Front differential? Auto 4WD

    I had the same issue with other parts also like the Keyless remote I forget the other parts that we had to guess on I’m hoping the differential isn’t going to be the same so I probably have to find the id tag on it and photograph the RPP sticker in the glove box, I hope the front diff wasn’t...

    Noise steering drag? Front differential? Auto 4WD

    I have a pretty good relationship with the parts department at the local Chevy dealership I spent a lot of $$ there, I will have to stop in and see if they can look it up, I have found they sometimes have a problem finding the correct part even by the vin, like when I needed a Drier for the ac...

    Noise steering drag? Front differential? Auto 4WD

    I’ve been working on this for about a year a friend say it the rear but he doesn’t understand the auto 4WD I replaced everything that made sense except for the Diff, the only thing I can do next would be to put a GoPro under there to watch and listen while I’m driving since I don’t have access...

    Noise steering drag? Front differential? Auto 4WD

    I thought of that I don’t think it could be the pads are ceramic and the past 10000 miles are wearing even, the drift and noise isn’t affected by braking, it’s there the loudest when cold (Sat at least 8 hours) it only became intermittent when I drove to Illinois for the 3rd time from South...

    Noise steering drag? Front differential? Auto 4WD

    I don’t think it’s the steering box, because the noise seems related to the drifting when it’s gone the tracking is ok, it seems like something is binding causing the wheel to drag I put a lot of miles on it since this started almost 10000 Nothing has broken but my luck may run out.

    i have been trying to pin down a noise and why my 01 Yukon has had in the front end, the noise seems to be coming from the drivers front wheel (I changed both front hubs, rebuilt the entire front end) but the noise is still there and I have a sailboating effect where it feels like mild cross...

    Nivomat load leveling shock absorber Conversation to BILSTEIN

    Has any converted there GMC with the Nivomat rear shocks to a aftermarket system? I just can’t see paying $400.00+ for just one shock! After a lot of research I found Bilstein makes a conversation kit that consists of 2 Bilstein 4600 shocks and springs to eliminate the overpriced OEM system...

    Nylon sealed UV joints replacement.

    My YUKON still has the original Universal Joints (injected Nylon) or the entire driveshafts were replaced with OEMs? One of them has a clunking noise and I want to replace them, I saw videos that use a LP torch to melt the Nylon to replace them (universal Joints) is this a good idea? Will...

    Factory Alarm issue (has Viper remote start no remote)

    It only happens when the auto lock is enabled I do think I found the cause the cargo net is rolled up on one side I sometimes gets a little caught in the door I think it may have been stopping the passenger side latch from catching completely? It hasn't happened since I completely removed the...

    Factory Alarm issue (has Viper remote start no remote)

    There is a 555l bypass module installed I don't think this could cause this issue but again it's aftermarket and was pre installed, could the Viper be causing a conflict with the factory system? The only thing still wrong with the Yukon that wasn't fixed since I purchased it is a SRS issue...
