could be intermediate steering shaft

Haven't figured mine out yet either, but mine only does it every once in a while. I think I remember it doing it more often when I first bought it.

I doubt it's the intermediate shaft cause the sound is up too close to the actual steering wheel.

Hard to say. But it may be the steering shaft. That's a fairly common problem on these trucks. I would let a mechanic hear it and see what he has to say.

you would be surprised what noises the intermediate steering shaft can make. GM just cant get them right for some reason

Is it a safety hazard to ignore the noise?

I guess I just wanted to know if I have to fix it so it won't fall apart on the interstate and kill me or is it just an annoying noise if left unfixed?

I was wondering the same thing myself.

no it wont fall apart. in fact i drove a tahoe today with the same exact noise. its the intermediate steering shaft. common gm problem. u could try to lube...use lithium grease not wd40.
