Hey hey!!
I am getting a strange sound when I'm driving at slow speeds over uneven ground. It almost sounds almost like the body mounts are moaning or groaning.
My 99 xtreme did in too. I usually happens when I'm turning. I know this is really kinda vauge, but does this sound like something others have heard??

I used to have a gurgling sound when at low RPMs. I had a leak in the coolant lines or something?? It was under warranty. But it was annoying. Came from the passenger side down by the feet there!

When was the last time you rotated the tires? Sounds like saw toothing.

Run your hand back and forth over the tread on the tire. If you feel a roughness in one direction, that is sawtoothing. Rubbing in one direction is smooth, but rubbing the opposite direction is rough.loki wrote:Hey hey!!
Whats toothing?
That's the best explanation I could find.

Guess it depends on what neck of the woods your from. My tires will look like a saw blade if I don't rotate them often. Every Chevy I have owned has done it.
