I had a similar ongoing prob. Turned out to be body mounts.This is a chronic problem with the Avalanche and Tahoes. Took many trips to the service Dept. to get this resolved.

I have had a recurring problem with my 2003 Avalanche. When the vehicle has been driven and is heated up I have a squeal while turning left only. Initially souned like a loose belt. Several power steering gears and a high pressure hose later the noise is reduced but is still there. Any info or suggestions on this issue are appreciated. Thanks

My wife has problems seeing out the back window. Is there any way you could install a rear view camera or back up sensors

Many options out there for both sensors and camera systems.

I have a 05 Av that has a rythmatic humming noise at 62 and 72. The truck has 410 gears(not sure if this is related). I brought it to another dealer after several attempts by the purchasing dealer. The transfer case is whats making the noise and there is a bullitin on it but no fix at this time. I have filed for arbitration under our state lemon law and it looks lokie a lost case for chevy. I also have a 2006 z-71 tahoe with 373's with no problems. Anyone who has this problem let me know if you have 410 gears.

I have put the velcro on the rubber pieces that cover the bolthead - to ne avail. HAving said that, next time you hear it on the highway, reach your hand up to the inside of the windshield where the windshiel and the frame meet. I will bet you feel the windshield ""fluttering" ever so slightly. I bet one or both or your outside mirrors probably shake as well. My Service Manager stated all this was normal. Then again, he just told be a bad front differential bearing ($900) and a bad rear differential bearing ($1200) failing at 57k miles is normal even thought I did the $30K check up ($650)

I get about the same mileage from an '06 crew cab Z71 4WD Silverado with the 5.3 engine and 3.73 gears. I seriously considered getting an Avalanche but poor visibility from the small rear window and smallish bed were the major decision factors. On the other hand I like the nice soft ride of the Avalanche. Silverado Z71 rides noticeably stiffer.

I have an '02 Chevy Avalanche w/ 45K miles, and lately I have been having problems with the 4 wheel drive. When turning corners, I hear a groaning noise and the vehicle begins to bind up and if I turn sharp enough, I can actually stop the vehicle as if I was braking. I've taken it into the dealer and they've told me it's normal. I've read in this forum others were having the same problem.
Has anybody found a solution to this problem?
Thanks for your help

If you're in 4Hi or 4Lo on a hard surface (or other surface with good traction for all 4 wheels) and experiencing this the dealer is right. If you're in A4WD on a hard surface then it probably should have disengaged 4wd on its own already and might need to be checked out. If you're in 2Hi and getting this then they definitely need to be checking the situation out.
