New noise from the nali

[Tribalbreak]

so it a squeek... its only at low speed when the gas is applied... it gets faster squeek squeek fast and faster as the truck goes faster then it stops at a higher speed... sounds to fast for breaks or wheel bearings... maybe something with the axle or driveshaft? ujoints maybe? any ideas?

Hmmmm...... does it go away when you apply the brakes?

 

[Tribalbreak]

it doesn't make a noise when i don't have my foot on the gas... so if the brake was applied no noise. but if i am just coasting it doesn't make the noise either.

I honestly don't know but have you checked your belts lately?

 

[Modded]

Yeah I would think belts and/or pulleys would be the issue since its a squeak??

 

[Rivieraracing]

So is the noise engine related (would it squeel if you were in neutral parked and stepped on the gas) or do you have to be moving?

 

[ROBERTOcritser]

and where does it sound like its coming from the most?

 

[Tribalbreak]

does not make any noise when in neutral or park... so i ruled out engine related... its hard to pin point the sound in the truck... i thought maybe u-joints so i filled the rear shaft one via the zurk fittings but the fronts don't have them...

would it be u-joints if it goes away when brakes are applied? i got this squeel and it goes away when i apply the breaks. cant figure it out

check both of the U-joints, mine made the same exact noise when the front one started to go

Is the trans mount in good shape? Could be effecting the drive line angles if its on its way out

 

[03_Denali]

replace the ujoints

I agree. I had a similiar noise (if not the same) on my 03 Yukon. It sounded like a wheel bearing or the parking brake assembly came apart and was dragging. It ended up being the rear u-joint. It was dry as hell and looked original. Truck has 194,000 miles on it so I think it was due.
