I have an issue with my truck that I'm hoping I can get help with. For reference, it's a 2017 Tahoe 4x4 5.3, with 70,000 miles on it.
The problem I have had is that when I first accelerate from a stop, I hear a severe grinding/rattling noise that seems to come from under the Tahoe. It almost sounds like grinding gears in a manual. The sound is there only in the first 5-10 MPH of speed, then once I'm up to speed, it's gone. There was a recent post that was similar for a person with a 2009 Tahoe. The difference is that this only happens when the vehicle is cold i.e. first drive of the day. Then it is gone. I am afraid to take it to the dealer because it would be hard for them to duplicate.
