Replying to: miswhi3 (Mar 05, 2007 6:18 pm) Do you know which differential assembly you have, either 8 1/4 or 9 1/4, limited slip?   The axle type is listed on the equipment sticker located on the inside of the glove box door.   Regards, Dusty

Replying to: viking8 (Mar 20, 2007 10:15 am) If the whine never changes with engine load or speed, don't get nervous yet, it could be your tires.   If not the tires, whine is usually caused by the (front) differential. Especially if it's one of those AAM (GM) axle assemblies.   Best regards, Dusty Replies to this message: sirbigins (Aug 15, 2007 5:08 pm)

Long time reader first time user. Got a similar problem with my 03' Dak 4X4 with 4.7L. Purchased the truck used & it has only 24K miles on it. From the rear of the truck there is a whine noise that is constant, the dealership didn't care to examine. The noise is quite prevelent and "sometimes" it sycronizes with the turn signal and headlamps turned on. Any suggestions as to what is causing the noise would be appreciated. Flipper

Replying to: dakotahp (Feb 05, 2007 3:53 pm) Well, without more information it is possible that your truck has a U-joint that is begining to seize.   Regards, Dusty Replies to this message: fawlrud (Jun 03, 2007 10:28 pm) dustyk (Jun 24, 2007 5:05 pm) jhughe90 (Dec 05, 2007 12:57 pm)
