Replying to: pinfish (Apr 14, 2007 7:49 pm) 3 common things are the hazard/flasher relay behind the glove box, the heat shield on the cat converter, and the most common is the PCV on the drivers side valve cover. The PCV may be dirty so replace it or the throttle cable has a broken plastic tie on the rear of the upper intake so it now contacts or rests against the PCV so resesure with a plastic zip tie to the little bracket on the intake (was a push pin type on the cable) - common after any work on the intakes and really annoying. Good time to check the vac lines that T off the PCV area and run over to the drivers side - 5/32" vac hose and always rot out - your hands will be very dirty when you touch them (heat destroys them).

Replying to: pinfish (Apr 14, 2007 7:49 pm) You said the buzzing sound comes from under the truck but you did not mentioned if it was under the hood or under the truck itself, if it's under the truck close to the rear wheel on the driver side that is the fuel pump if it's making an horrible buzzing sound maybe it's time to change it, if it's under the hood, then check all vacuums hose and PCV Valves, also check every relays.

Replying to: pinfish (Apr 14, 2007 7:49 pm) so weird - I've started noticing a buzzing noise coming from my 98 Jimmy as well in the last few weeks. I'm not sure if its the tires I put on a few months back and I've just started noticing it, or if it's the brakes hanging up or what. But very annoying indeed. Sounds like it's associated with the wheels or tires or something, because it only happens when the vehicle is rolling.

Replying to: gmcbob (May 12, 2007 8:37 am) Gotta get a better description as no buzzing from the drive train- grating, grinding, clicking etc. Buzzing is all electrical or PCV related. Replies to this message: gmcbob (May 12, 2007 3:55 pm)

Replying to: repairdog (May 12, 2007 9:36 am) Turns out the noise was the front wheel hubs. Both of them were completely shot. The parts and labor were $966. But at least its quiet now.

#60 of 105 rattiling clunking noise from front drive train by mwright3 Jul 23, 2007 (9:41 am)
I have a 2001 GMC jimmy. I have changes the shocks, Hubs and back brakes since owning the truck for a bout a year. I was off roading and put the truck in 4x4 and I heard a loud snapping type noise and later a high squealing noise near front tires. Now when I start to accelerate a rattling clunking noise is heard near the front (middle) of truck. It goes away sometimes but can be heard when driving lower speeds durning acceleration. I went under the truck and turned the drive train. It seems to make a low rattling noise at the end closer to the back where the U Joints are not. Any ideas if this is a u joint or a new drive train will be required? My truck also makes a squealing typ noise when the wheels start to spin but I think that is my wheel bearings and nothing to do with the other problem. Please help
#61 of 105 1994 GMC Jimmy "clunks" when turning by osusieq1 Jul 26, 2007 (4:05 am)
Let me start by saying my mechanic is a family friend. Sometimes thats a good thing, sometimes not. In this case, I'm not sure. My antilock brake light came on, and he replaced the front hubs as the wires were worn. Light went off, all was well. However, driving it home, when I did a hard turn (left or right), I hear and feel through the floor a clunking sounding like it was coming from the front right. I went back and he said it was the CV. Replaced that as well. Guess what? Still clunks. He super greased the upper and lower ball joints, clunk clunck. Now he's telling me its the control arm/control arm bushings making the noise. Does this sound right?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Replies to this message: mwright3 (Jul 26, 2007 8:24 pm)
