    5 different mechanics, $4,000 in parts, still no answer..

    Sorry, no update so far. Sound has not gotten better or worse. It is strange, because I drive the same route to work every day. Some days the noise never takes place, some days it is really bad. I had my ring and pinion replaced, my pinion was worn down pretty good, but my ring didn't have any...

    Urgent- Please help identify part

    Thanks David. I recently had some transmission work done. I am guessing that the transmission shop did not install the bracket upon reinstalling the tranny. Looks like I will need to drop it off again for them to correct..

    Urgent- Please help identify part

    Thank you for your response! I thought I had broken something when I was removing the oil pressure sensor. This vent you mentioned has a large piece of metal dangling from it. I must have broken some kind of metal mount/bracket that is used to hold it in place. I asked my son to turn the...

    Urgent- Please help identify part

    Hey guys, I was replace my oil pressure sensor this afternoon and this component circled in the picture popped off in the process and I cannot identify what this part is? Can someone please help me identify what is in the picture? I am really not sure how this came off. Thanks!!

    Good Morning, Something that came to mind, a couple months back, my remote start stopped working as a result of my check engine light coming on. I went to the auto shop that date and my throttle position sensor as well as my oil pressure sensor were both dead. Does anyone know what would cause...

    Thanks for the suggestion. I think I will go the easy route and use the hose clamp.

    Sorry for the confusion, that is correct, this is a 2WD, so no front differential to consider. I haven't had anyone look at the front of the car yet because all of the rides I have gone on with the mechanics made them certain it was an issue in the rear of the car. I will jack it up and test to...

    Once again, thanks for the response. It is important for me to note tha all of the previous work was done work was done on the rear differential; the front end of the vehicle has yet to be touched. The noise sounds as if it is coming from the front passenger side, but all the mechanics this far...

    My apologies, first time posting/using this forum. I will add this to the 08 section. I called one shop, I was told that the microphone was called Chassis Ears. I am thinking my next step is to try the CE so I can figure out exactly what section of the Tahoe it is coming from and then go from...

    Thanks guys for the suggestions, I think I need to call around to see if anyone offers the camera/mic service. I keep being told that it is transmission or differential related issues, but at this point, I have almost swapped out every component on both and still no luck. The fact that it only...

    Thanks for your response. I am thinking about purchasing the front wheel bearings and having them installed, since this is relatively cheap to do, and with the mileage on the vehicle, it likely needs to be done anyway. If the noise persists, I am going to find another differential shop to make...

    Swathdiver, the pinion and ring were replaced by a shop that specializes in differential work, but that doesn't mean they don't make mistakes- I really hope this isn't the case. The sound from the driver seat really sounds as if it were coming from the front driver side area of the car, but as...

    Yes, the torque converter was replaced. I don't know if it is worth mentioning, but the first day after the pinion and ring were replaced, I thought the problem was solved. There was almost zero noise coming from the vehicle and on this day it was about 70 degrees. This morning, there was a...

    Good Morning Everyone, First time posting here. I have come out of desperation for a mechanical issue that no mechanic seems to be able to identify. I drive a 2008 Tahoe LTZ 2WD, with about 100k miles. Over the last year, the vehicle has been making a whirring noise that has progressively...
