Default brand new... problems!!

I just bought a brand new 09 4x4 Tuesday. Rolled over 1000mi Thursday and i started hearing a grinding noise coming up through the 4wd stick along with vibration. Put it in 4wd and it sounds like rocks are in the t-case, turn the wheel a little and it stops dead in its tracks. I have already taken it back to the dealer and they gave me a POS loaner to drive. I know its all under warranty but WTF?! It seems to me that they put different gear ratios in the diffs. I have always been a chevy fan but I drive around 6000 miles a month, it needs to be dependable. The last 3 new chevys I have bought have had problems right from the get go. Sorry to whine but I needed to vent a little.

Hate to hear that 09. Mine just turned over 300 miles and great so far. I have a hard time changing to 4x4 low but I think its me. I figure the dealer will take care of you but shouldn't happen to a new one.

If it's brand new and you already have to take it in - tell them you want a better loaner. You just spent a wad on a new truck, you shouldn't have to settle for a crappy loaner.

Hell, I'd argue you want a new truck!

Sorry to hear that man. Having that kind of problem with a brand new truck is very annoying.

Good luck. Hope your prob will be fixed sooner.
