05 Silverado Makes Loud Grinding Noise When Accelerating From Stops?
Owned this truck 2 days and already issues. Truck just rolled 162k, 0 rust. 5.3 motor. Anyways, when I was test driving the truck I drove it 50+ miles around town and down the interstate at about 75mph to really give it a solid run and it ran perfectly fine, no leaks, noises, etc. I go to drive it today and noticed a loud grinding noise (coming from up front somewhere, rolled window down and its very audible) when mashing the gas from a dead stop (like at a light) up until I get up to a decent speed. Driving it at speed limit and such it does fine.
Im curious if anyone else has had this issue or heard of it to maybe steer me in the right direction? Im pretty bummed as this is my new truck for a while and I want it to be a reliable vehicle.
I havent got around to it but I do plan on getting an oil change (unknown when it was last done) and maybe a tranny fluid change.

As I indicated previously I would check the front bearings in the hub(s). Bearings typically growl/grind when they wear out. And they make more noise when turning. If you have a bad RF bearing a right turn may make it louder and it may make no noise at all when turning left.
I'll add that sound can do funny things. If the front bearings are okay, it could be bearings in the rear (hub or pinion or carrier). Do you feel the grinding through the steering wheel or from the seat? In my experience if it comes from the front you feel it in the steering wheel and if it comes from the rear, one tends to feel it in the seat.

I may just take it to a shop tomorrow as I have no tools to fix anything really. Im just looking for some insight so that if it is something simple i can try to get tools to fix it...

i got a video of it as well now. You can faintly hear it if you turn volume maxed out.

that happened to me, one of the bolts holding the brake caliper came off and the whole caliper would flip up grinding on the aluminum, wheel, I found the issue when it jamed and locked up the tire, could back up no problem, but forward tire would not roll
