I just bought a 99 4WD Chev Sub with 81K miles. Original owner took great care of it...a very nice truck. Rear end is the 3.73 but no locking diff.
Question #1 is that when I take off some a stop, I hear a mild "clunk" coming from what sounds like underneath the truck and just behind the drivers seat. It's a little more noticeable when I'm making a LH turn. Mechanic said something about something needs lubrication and it's fairly common on these trucks. He said he would do it when I have all the fluids changed over to synthetic (Mobil 1 oil and gear lube). Can somebody tell me what's going on in plain English?
Also, electric fuel pump whine from the back of the truck is pretty loud. On every 98 & 99 Sub I test drove I heard the same thing. Is this something to worry about?
Thanks in advance for any and all replies!!!
