texaSS364 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 maybe your truck is telling you it wants a blower! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvSSguy Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 so if its the transfer case, does it need to be rebuilt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvSSguy Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 does anyone know if the transfer case for sure is causing this, and what is the steps to fixing/diagnosing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianVRss Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Transfercases rarely break on these trucks. Most likely front diff. As it continues to get worse you'll start to hear the whine on mild excelleration as well, but it'll be most prominent when you let off the throttle.

MARTYW Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Yeah, prolly the carrier bearings in the front differential. Very common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewmech Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Mines got a nice whine to it as well. The part that really concerns me is the slop in the front driveshaft. Maybe 1/2 inch? Nice click when you start rolling or start braking. Hoping its just the front diff. going out. Anyone ever run across this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
