Hello All,
I own a 2014 Silverado 1500 5.3L 4x4. I am having an issue and would like opinions to help me narrow it down.
I went to put my truck in reverse after driving around all day. There is snow and ice so I have been in and out of 4HI. When I tried to back up the truck did not want to ease back like normal. I tried to ease some gas and still no budge. Finally I heard a wonderful crack, pop pop pop as it went backwards. ( I was in 2WD at the time) I do not have any noise what so ever driving forward ( all the way up to 45mph down the street) but only get the pop pop pop and clunking while backing up. It sounds like it is under the driver seat. I hear a little extra noise when I try to swap in and out of 4wd but have no issues with any gear changes in the transmission, no vibration, no knocking or grinding sounds. I have check driveshaft and it’s fine. U Joints look like they could use some love. But I am wondering if it is my transfer case? Any help is greatly appreciated thank you.

Tough to diagnose this from our desks. Check transfer case fluid level and condition, see if any metal in the fluid. Noise underneath could be a broken rear torsion bar mount, not related to the possible transfer case issue.

i would start at the u joints. looks can be deceiving. non greaseable ones have very little grease in them.
