grinding noise at 42 mph

my truck makes a grinding or vibrating noise around 40- 45 mph that is very annoying. it only does it under light acceleration in v4 mode. they chevy dealership said it may be normal. sounds far from normal to me. has anyone else had this problem? i dont even enjoy driving my new 30,000 dollar truck because of it.

If they won't satisfy you, switch dealerships.  Sometimes it's possible that they are not even hearing the problem, or aren't sure how to fix it -- a lot of times with noises, a fix will come out later as possible issues are identified across the line.  

I'd have another dealership check it out.  Ride with the tech, service advisor, or shop foreman until you can point out the noise to them.

Well, after 2 trips to the shop I have my truck back, grinding noise and all! GM put a bulletin out saying that the noise my truck has is "normal exhaust noise". Now Im stuck with it. I have driven 6 of the same trucks. Mine is the only one i can find with the noise. Its running me nuts! I wouldnt advise anyone to buy one of these trucks!
