Jingling sound when acceleration and deceleration

Hi,

Does the sound speed up and slow down with vehicle speed? Also, are the wheels you installed factory wheels or are they aftermarket?

If they are aftermarket, inspect them to see if something is rubbing on the brake caliper or other component on the vehicle. Often times, the offset can be different and causes things to touch.

Next, is there anything you can do to stop the sound? For example, does it change if you apply the brakes? If so, confirm the brakes are in good condition and there isn't excessive rust on the rotors which can make this type of sound. Additionally, confirm the backing plates behind the brake rotors are not touching the rotor itself. Something may have been bent or rust can be an issue.

Let me know. Also, confirm if the vehicle has to be under load (acceleration) to make the noise or if it does it when you coast as well.

Let me know.

Hi,

Anything is possible, but since it started with the new wheels, I have a feeling they are to blame. The wheels could have a different offset and something is touching. When you take them off, inspect them real closely for any evidence of something rubbing. Also, do the same with the brake caliper and anything that could touch. Under these circumstances, I suspect you will find one of the wheels is touching a caliper.

Let me know.

Have you checked things such as heat shields? Also, the internal components in the catalytic converter can come loose and rattle. Take a rubber mallet and tap in the exhaust to see if you can recreate the sound.

Is it possible for you to record the sound and upload it for me to hear?

Joe

Sounds good. I will watch for them.

Joe

I heard it in the second one. Have you checked u-joints and axle joints? It was hard to tell just because of the background noise, but that is where I would start.

You have to remove the clamp on the rubber boot that attached the driveshaft to the output shaft on the transfer case. Here are the directions. The pics attached correlate with the directions.

Removal Procedure

pic 1

1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
2. Remove the transfer case shield. Refer to Shield Replacement.
3. Remove the clamp (4) at the transfer case (3) by prying up the exposed end of the clamp (4) with a flat bladed tool.

Important: Observe and accurately reference mark all driveline components relative to the propeller shaft and axles before disassembly. These components include the propeller shafts, the wheel drive shafts, the pinion flanges, the output shafts, etc, All components must be reassembled in the exact relationship to each other as they were when removed. In addition, published specifications and torque values, as well as any measurements made prior to disassembly must be followed.

4. Reference mark the relationship of the propeller shaft (5) to the front axle flange (1).

5. Remove the bolts (6) and the yoke retainers (7) from the front axle flange (1).

Important: Do not pound on the propeller shaft when trying to disconnect the propeller shaft.

6. Slide the propeller shaft rearward enough in order to disengage. Move the propeller shaft forward.

Important: Avoid dropping the bearing cap assemblies of the yoke end.

7. Remove the propeller shaft (5).
8. Inspect the propeller shaft (5) for any evidence of damage.

Installation Procedure

1. Verify that the splines of the transfer case are coated with sufficient grease. If not, use special Teflon grease (GM P/N 9985830). Refer to Fluid and Lubricant Recommendations.
2. Place the new clamp in the groove of the propeller shaft boot.
3. Install the propeller shaft splines into the transfer case output shaft.
4. Install the boot onto the transfer case output shaft until the boot snaps into the groove on the OD of the output shaft.

5. Crimp the clamp using the J 43218 according to the crimping specifications.

Pic 5

6. Install the propeller shaft (5) to the front axle flange (1).
7. Line up the reference marks made previously.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

8. Install the yoke retainers (7) and the bolts (6).
Tighten the yoke retainer bolts to 25 Nm (19 ft. Lbs.).
9. Install the transfer case shield. Refer to Shield Replacement.
10. Lower the vehicle.

Honestly, you need to have the driveshaft in for it to seal. There isn't a way to prevent the leaking otherwise.

Hi,

I have to ask if you would please repost the new questions on their own threads. We are trying to keep questions specific to one topic.

I hope you understand. Once you repost, someone will answer you. I will keep my eyes open for it.

Take care and thanks,
Joe
