Hey there!! I'm new to this site,glad there are guys like you here ,hope you can help with my issue: I have a 05 Tahoe, LT 4 WD (purc new) with 23,800 mi.(still in fact warranty) I have been noticing a mild rotational hum (gear/ bearing) noise comming from the front of the vehicle, its not real loud, but loud enough to bother me (as this vehicle is very quiet),mostly audible at speeds between 40-50 mph,most audible at 45,and letting off the accelerator,makes it louder.below 40,and above 50 almost no noise at all
I took it in to the dealer last week for an oil change ,and mentioned this,they road tested ,told me it was in the front axle,and there was a bulletin on this,said I would have to bring it back in,might take a day,or so to fix. I like this dealer ,by the way
My question: is this something I should address,or learn to live with? Wondering if its just a normal power train noise,that might get worse by trying to correct, and other things might get screwed up in the fix, or could it possibly get worse and eventually fail ?
Has anyone else experienced this prob? Any comments would be GREATLY appreciated. I love my Tahoe,and have had no issues except the steering shaft,which they installed new version at this last oil change
P.S. does anyone know if you MUST purchase a GM protection plan from the selling dealer? there are some real good deals from dealers online
THANKS in advance, sorry for the long post
