Replying to: nothappy05 (Mar 30, 2009 9:29 am) There is TSB 07-08-46-002b about audio whine on the speakers from the OnStar ,for 2007 2008 car and trucks.   They put a filter in voltage system to correct it. This audio whine increases and decreases with the speed of the vehicle.

Replying to: rvoth (Mar 30, 2009 1:30 pm) Well I took it to the dealer again for the whinning noise. They heard it. They said it is probablly the rear differential housing. $2000.00 And not sure if it will fix the noise. Has anyone had that replaced for the whinning noise and did it work? I spoke with my local mechainic and he suggested changing the fluid first.

Replying to: nothappy05 (Mar 31, 2009 3:25 am) The diff case holds 500 ml, 16.9 ounces differential axle lubrication GM 89021677 us -6778 cda. Just two plugs , looks like a hex key used for the plug takes about 40 minutes to complete.   Is your an AWD Equinox.

Replying to: nothappy05 (Mar 31, 2009 3:25 am) You can check the level by taking out the top plug in the differently. The fluid level should be at the bottom edge of the threads. Just stick your finger in and feel for the fluid in the diff. You can a synethic diff oil or use GM's.    Check for any leaks from the input shaft into the diff and also on the seals on each side of the diff housing where the drive shafts from out from.

Replying to: nothappy05 (Mar 31, 2009 3:25 am) This was in a message I posted a few weeks back on my 05 Nox, see rear issues I had, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there wasn't a hidden warranty some where with the rear of this SUV. I would say the same change the fluid first with a synthetic conditioning rear oil from Lucas first.   Rear growling like noise - They had to replace rear differential - 17,115 mls ABS light came on - They had to replace the right rear speed sensor - 24,236 mls ABS light came on - They had to replace left front speed sensor - 32,115 ABS light came on - They had to replace the left front speed sensor wire harness - 32,815      The whinring noise - They had to replace the right rear bearing.- 32,079 mls

Replying to: nothappy05 (Mar 31, 2009 3:15 pm) There is transfer case on the front of transmission it too has a drain plug and and fill plug to check the level. I believe it uses different lubricant than the rear diff but should be checked as well for leakage and fluid level .    There are two types of transfer cases Getrag 760 and NVG 900 both have same amount of synthetic oil in them GM specs. The Getrag has the both plugs on the driver's side of the case. NVG looks to have a bottom drain plug and the fill plug is on the passenger side of case      Man i love the AWD system but it has alot more maintenance issues than the FWD model version.

Replying to: retiredarmy (Apr 05, 2009 1:00 pm) I have an 08 Nox. I have an Alldata subscription. If you send me your e-mail address, I'll send you the instructions and diagram that it lists. I'm assuming it is the same as the 09's">

Replying to: retiredarmy (Apr 05, 2009 1:00 pm) Assuming they are the same as the 08s. They are attached with a very stiff version of the plastic ribbed fasteners used on door and interior trim. Pry them straight up, start from the back, be careful not to scratch the paint. They are a bugger and you may need new fasteners when your done. If at all possible try and do it on as warm a day as you can, I find the more pliable the plastic the better it works. Good Luck
