Looking to hear from anyone that has needed a full battery / drive unit ( front or rear) replacement. Looking like that is the proposed fix for my truck at 742 miles. Thanks

Rear drive unit replaced on my R1T. Right around five hundred miles and after it was "fixed." Just picked it up yesterday after it died two weeks ago. They believe it was the High Voltage to Low Voltage Inverter that is integrated into the drive unit. They cannot just replace the inverter. Had to ship a drive unit out from the factory. They believe this was the cause of all of the software/hardware issues I was having. We shall see. I volunteered this truck to become a service loaner/test drive vehicle and to replace mine with a new one.

there is a whole thread about it: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/low-speed-tocking-when-stopping-or-starting.5748/page-15Those with noise that required drive unit replacement, what did it sound like? I have a clicking that I can detect between 15-30mph with moderate throttle, both on accel and decel. It clicks in frequency with vehicle/motor speed. Can only hear when windows are up due to other noises.
So according to the techs the sound mine was making sounding like a flock of pigeons. I wouldn't describe it as such, I'd describe it as what would be consistent gear lash which was always there but you could only hear at lower speeds. It was on acceleration and deceleration. Sounded almost like there was a broken tooth and it chattered relative to the motor speed.Those with noise that required drive unit replacement, what did it sound like?

I’m getting a new HV battery pack installed. Mileage is nearly identical to yours.Looking to hear from anyone that has needed a full battery / drive unit ( front or rear) replacement. Looking like that is the proposed fix for my truck at 742 miles. Thanks
