Just Passing Through.....
(OP) *MOLON LABE* User ID: 72509890 United States 02/01/2023 04:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My experience with humming is almost always a bearing. Quoting: BFD I know you said that you checked for shavings but you might just have to get a new bearing a repack it with grease. Yeah, but unfortunately my symptoms also match the rear end bearings inside the pumpkin going out too and that is a WHOLE lot more involved than packing some grease. However you have given me an idea to try manana. Ty bro.

Quoting: Just Passing Through..... My old buddy Diesel_Tech who I normally asked has either changed his name or is no longer here. Ok, so here are the bullet points 1997 Tahoe Z71 2 door Obviously has 4wd and all the offroad goodies offered by GM. Now here is my problem. Whine/hum that starts around 20 and stays constant under load. The hum/whine disappears when I let off the gas. I feel a slight vibration in the gas pedal as well and it does seem to change pitch when I slalom the truck side to side at speed. Now, I know most will say its my rear end pinion or carrier bearings. I thought this too and it still very well may be but I emptied the fluid and no shavings or glitter indicating a rear end about to grenade. I changed the rear axle bearings and seals to rule them out and no avail. Basically my symptoms are a blend of wheel bearing and rear end. How the f--- do I pinpoint what it is? I can figure out how to repair just about anything on this truck but when symptoms match 2 or 3 possible problems....that's when things get a little iffy for me. I really hope its a bearing and I'm not stuck rebuilding, shimming, and correcting backlash on a new rear end. The rear end is RPO code GT4 which is the 30 spline 10-bolt with 3.73 gears and posi/locker obtain a cheap go pro clone with a strong mount and target the suspect areas successively with the mic opening not the lens aperture so much then drive until you deduce it |

The rear end is RPO code GT4 which is the 30 spline 10-bolt with 3.73 gears and posi/locker Sort of reads like a bad front hub bearing. When you slalom the truck the noise changes. So if it changes, gets more quiet, when swerving left, check the left front hub bearing. If it gets quieter swerving right, check the right. |

User ID: 75090524 United States 02/01/2023 05:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | U joint is my guess. Can you downshift a gear and still hear it? Bearing is my 2nd guess. I expect you’ve checked front axle hub play? Boy the idiots really came out of the closet on this thread. I enjoyed the diesel tech guy’s comments back when he was here. Guess he didn’t need a bunch of you morons as much as you needed him. |
