Test the vehicle under the same conditions that the customer reported in order to verify the system is operating properly.

Noisy in Drive

CauseCorrection
Inspect for the proper transaxle and gear oil levels prior to performing system diagnosis. Refer to Transfer Case Fluid Drain and Fill .
Loose propeller shaft mounting boltsTighten the bolts as required. Refer to Propeller Shaft Replacement in Propeller Shaft.
Worn propeller shaft constant velocity and/or universal jointsReplace components as required. Refer to Propeller Shaft Replacement in Propeller Shaft.
Worn or loose propeller shaft center support bearingReplace components as required. Refer to Propeller Shaft Replacement in Propeller Shaft.
Worn axle shaft constant velocity jointsReplace the constant velocity joints as required.
Loose rear differential mounts or worn bushingsTighten the mount bolts or replace as required.
Incorrect oil in the transfer caseReplace with GM P/N 12378261 (Canadian P/N 10953455).
Bearing noise within the transfer case A "grinding" or "roar" type noise will increase or decrease relative to the vehicle speed.Check for the proper fluid level. Fill as required. If the noise continues, repair or replace the transfer case as required.
Gear set "whine" noise within the transfer case "Whine" type noises will increase or decrease relative to the vehicle speed.Check for the proper fluid level. Fill as required. If the noise continues, replace the transfer case as required. Contributing factors may include: Incorrect backlash between the gear set Worn or damaged gear teeth Transaxle assembly noise Differential noise
