My 2005 silverado z71 has a loud grinding noise coming from the front differential when it is in 4 wheel drive. This car has been serviced regularly,however I have only had this vehicle in 4wheel drive 5 times since I have owned it(new). The potential repair is in excess of $1000.00, because I have been told that it is in the front transfer case because the noise is not there in 2 wheel drive. Can you please help me. Has this happened to many silverado owners.

I was driving home from orange county on march 15, 2008 with my three children at around 8pm. I was traveling east on the 91 fwy when we began hearing a squeaking sound in my tires and my ABS light had come on, shortly after our journey home the squeaking sound was followed by a grinding sound as well. I began getting off to the shoulder and started hearing the sound of little things dropping to the ground, followed by more things hitting the ground and my steering wheel began pulling to the right, so I pulled over just under the lincoln exit in corona. As I was coming to a stop the truck suddenly came to a hard stop, because my entire wheel came off!

Steering makes a "squealing" noise at low speeds while turning to the right. I have taken this problem to the dealer the sold me the truck several times before they identified the problem. They claim that it is common on this vehicle, but I am the only one who seems to have the issue. Original dealer will not attempt to repair the problem even though it is still under warranty.
