Truck sounds like Chewbacca

[Joeyt012]

Has anyone had to deal with your truck making a very loud Chewbacca noise when in reverse? I can replicate it in both 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive. Truck only has 25,000 miles on it, hoping it can be covered by warranty.

Either you left Chewy in the bed again, or you may have some rear brake moan. There’s a kit to deal with that if that ends up being the case.

Sounds cool. How do I add this feature?

It involves baseball cards and clothes pins.

I had that, accompanied by a bunch of lights and activity on the dash. I shut off the auto-braking and it went away. My driveway is sloped such that about half the time when I back out and turn, the truck thinks I'm going to crash into the pavement.

Punch it, Chewie!

backing up mine sounds more like Princess Lea when she's bumpin-ugly with Hans Solo....soft moan

Anti moan kit will fix it but it will come back . Had mine done 2 years ago and it just came back.

I just started getting this noise about 2 weeks ago the 1st time I use the truck in the morning when backing up. I figured something with the cold/snow/salt that was causing it.

So did mine.

Is this compatible with the '21 models or is there something else because it is still an issue.

Yes we have that same issue as well. I figured it was cheap factory brake pads or a poor grease job. Planed on waiting until the brakes need replaced as it's only an issue when backing up and cold
