Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra and 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Vibration from the engine operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to make a rumbling noise.

The drive belt may have a condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the drive belt may be the only repair for the symptom.

If after replacing the drive belt and completing the diagnostic table, the rumbling is only heard with the drive belt is installed, there might be an accessory drive component failure. Varying the load on the accessory drive component(s) may aid in identifying which component is causing the rumbling noise.
