First of all I apologize if this has been answered or something. my searching sucks, and y'all know i'm a Ford guy so i have no idea. Yukon was making weird noises when I was home driving it. now dad's saying it got way worse. He dropped it off at the shop and it needs a rear end rebuild supposedly. the diff cover hasnt been taken off so i'm not sure what the gears look like. but its an open rear end with 4:10 gears. I'm assuming its a 10 bolt, and i know theres issues with those. I can't diagnose this thing 500 miles away and the mechanic hasn't gotten into it because theyre waiting for him to tell them to fix it.
I guess i'm looking for some explanation on what may be the issue so i can explain stuff to him. he's thinking about fixing it and just selling it, but i have no idea what hes gonna do. i'll probably be calling tomorrow or wednesday and asking what exactly they think is wrong with it.
its an 05 yukon xl, 5.3 4wd with 4:10's. only ever towed a few times. 36 ft. travel trailer 4 times, and a 10 ft box trailer a handful of times. also needs a driver side wheel bearing.
any links you migh have i can read or forward to my dad so he can get some understanding of whats wrong. I appreciate it guys, when the truck isn't right in front of me its hard to help him.
inb4 search you noob.
