    help needed ..

    hi guys i have 09 silverado 5.3L regular cab
    i installed lowering kit and 20" wheels on

    now while im driving my car (normal driving at 1.500 to 2.000 rpm) when it shifts to 3rd gear i hear some noise like ticking and some time i can feel it under my leg and also passenger leg.

    and some times when i race in my car the voice is increasing and when i drive for normal for 2 days the voice is going down !

    i took it to the dealer and he answered me that every thing is normal and i have not wary about it !!

    is it correct or i do realy have a problem in my car ??
    do i need a tune coz i installed a bigger wheels and tires ??

    I would guess the noise is due to the drop kit. Did you install it yourself?

    so the dealership installed it? tell them to fix it, its probably the pinion angle!

    that's usually the problem with drops...although 2/3 isnt really that low.

    anyway take it back to the dealer. it's their issue.

    Driveline might be out of phase. You're getting a harmonic.
