Okay, truck an 04, 1500 Z71 ext. cab and has 320k miles. Original front end. Today, almost all the way to work (20 miles) started to get a faint grinding from the front end.

Why is my front differential so loud in my Chevy Tahoe?
Just curious if this is a common issue with GM Tahoe. My 2002 which uses the 4wd feature a lot in the winter has developed a loud bearing growl in the front differential. 4.10 gears, 5.3L. Fluid has always been full and has been changed once even though the truck has only 80,000 miles.

My 2002 which uses the 4wd feature a lot in the winter has developed a loud bearing growl in the front differential. 4.10 gears, 5.3L.

What causes a howling sound in the rear differential?
Broken teeth on the axle gear can result in complete loss of power when turning in any direction and eventually reaching a point where the gears don’t engage at all anymore, bringing the car to a complete standstill. There are various situations which can create rear differential noise. For example, howling of gears is a sure sign of wearing.

What to do about grinding noise in front wheel?
You may just need to pump a little grease into the boot & squeeze it into the joint to stop it if it isn’t too far gone. The fact that the noise is worse on a tight turn just solidifies the outer CV joint as being the problem. You should grease the other 3 while you’re at it.
