#1 of 2 Chev Silverado 2003 Transmission Whine by cryscross Aug 08, 2003 (9:42 pm) I'm new on board but not new to cars and trucks. My new Silverado LS w/ a 4.8 and extended cab has a whine and slight vibration in the tranny at very low speeds and up to 1500 rpm. It sounds like a bus or a 10 ton truck and is annoying to say the least. Varying the throttle slightly makes it very noticeable. Like to hear from anyone with similar problem and what if anything their dealer is doing about it. Mine says it is in the exhaust system and has added some dampers to no avail. Thanks for any help that might be available. Tom

I have the same problem with my 2003 Z71. I dont know what it is, the truck runs fine and the transmission shifts well. It only makes the noise at very low RPMs for me, like around 700-900RPM. I took it to the dealer and they said it was fine. I have the extended warranty so I am not worried about it as it seems to shift fine and such. I am going to wait till I get some more miles on it to see if it goes away. I only have 500 miles on it still.

| Thanks jrock80. It's nice to know that one is not alone I guess. I also have the extended wty. w/ the no "co-pay" feature so as far as the dealer is concerned I will wait awhile. I do plan to drop by the best tranny shop in town and ask the boss to take a ride with me just to get his opinion. If he has any worthwhile advise I will let you know. | |
| After doing some investigation on my own it is not the transmission after all. It is the A/C Compressor. Mine doesnt do it with the A/C off. I had the dealer check it out and everything is fine. Some compressors are just noisier than others I guess. The sound is also becomming less apparent as I get more miles on the truck. Everything seems to be running better. After a trip over the weekend I am just getting under 20MPG with the A/C at about 75MPH. I am very pleased. | |
| I have a 2003 1500 silverado 4wd with a drivetrain vibration at 40 mph.the dealer doesn't know what is wrong. anyone have or had this problem? i'm ready to take it to another dealership. | |
