Expertise

1998 and NEWER questions ONLY!! I WILL REJECT QUESTIONS FROM 1998 BACK. Electrical diagnosis. Brake Diagnosis. Driveability, Service Engine Soon Lights. Some Engine mechanical. Tires and wheels. ABS. HVAC. Air Bag (SIR). Interior, seats, etc... 6.6L Duramax Diesel diagnosis. 6.5L diesel diagnosis. I WILL not answer Alignment questions OR carburetor questions. No heavy internal transmission
I need YEAR, MAKE and MODEL of vehicle, and ENGINE SIZE and TRANSMISSION type, IF applicable to the question.
I work at a Large, Busy GM Dealership
Last thing, my answers are JUST SUGGESTIONS and ADVICE and you should ALWAYS CHECK with your mechanic for proper diagnosis and repair.

Experience in the area

18 Years GM Dealership experience as an "A" line tech. ASE MasterTechnician. 100% GM certified MTC Certified.

Education/Credentials

High School graduate. No College or higher learning.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Automobiles are very complex machines. The problems and countless. While I and most technicians I know consider to know everything, we do not. That is why I personally have never fixed a vehicle over the phone or internet. I have helped in diagnosis, but not fixed. So please take this into consideration when reading the answers.

Hi First, my personal opinion is UNLESS your differential is making any noises (roar, whine, whirr, etc...) I would make DANG sure the ring/pinion is your culprit. GM's have historically made serious
