I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 extended cab 5.3 eng. I had the trans replaced a little while back. Now I am getting a rotational spinning clicking noise at around 15 to 25 mph then it goes away when at speeds over that. took it back to the trans shop they told me that it's not the trans and everything is good with that. New u-joint at the rear. The sound, sounds like something wrapped around the drive shaft hitting. Of Course the drive shaft looks fine. Also the clicking gets faster with truck speed then stops. I'm at a loss at to what is causing this sound.

 

Check your front half shafts.

 

Can you tell if the sound is coming from the front or back of truck? Also is it from the right or left side? If you can pinpoint where it is coming from, it will be easier to find the cause.

 

Checked the front shaft and it seems fine. There is a little bit of play, in that I can turn it by hand just a little bit. Is this normal?

 

Was hard to pin point, was definitely coming from the rear area. Was told that the rear u-joint was new. I replaced both front and new rear u-joints. The front was very bad (Told by the shop it was okay) and the one they installed at the rear was very hard to move so I just replace both while I had the drive shaft out. Noise seems to be gone did not drive to far yet but everything seems to be okay. Thanks for all the advise.
