i think i have a problem in the front end? help!?

[J-Will]

this is the first GM suv ive had. had it for almost a year n a half, its had the noise since i bought it, i just figured it was because its AWD. sometimes when im accelerating it makes a loud hissing noise (idk how to explain really) whining sound from the front? anybody know anything about this or had this happen with their truck? any help would be great!

 

[J-Will]

so im the ONLY person that has this problem?

Someone will chime in, the weekends are a little slow, during the week is normally when everyone is on. I don't have AWD nor hear anything similar on my truck, so IDK.

lol, I love how people expect others to post on topics on the weekends.

Anyway, I think your issue is in the fron diff. To me the way it reads is as if some bearings have worn out and the backlash/meshing is off, thus resulting in the type of sound you mention. What this equals to is rebuild time.

Man, I love 2wd.

I love 2wd too Sepiroth, too many guys chime on the forum with nothing but complaints about 4WD or Autoride!
Plus in Texas I don't need 4WD!

Your 03 Denali

Nice looking truck!

I don't hear any hissing when I accelerate with my 01 4x4 LT. I guess I'd check those 24's for rub marks and then have the front end checked over for any suspicious wear. Sorry can't be of more assistance...

 

[J-Will]

ill take any advice i can get! it was happening before i put the wheels on it. i just blew it off. figured it was the all time awd crap. is there any way to rip that junk out and make it 2wd? that would be amazing
