Can a Chevy Silverado have a front axle problem?
You bought a 4×4 Chevy Silverado, and not a dang 3×4 truck that won’t let you use the engine’s power to move all four wheels when you need them.

How often should I change my rear axle fluid?
This interval is definitely not adequate, because we overhaul lots of F-150 rear axles after they have failed between 150,000 and 200,000 km; well before their first recommended fluid change. We have been suggesting a fluid service every 100,000 km instead, which seems to be working quite well for our customers.
Is it necessary to change the gear oil on a Silverado?
I have about 32,000 miles on my 2011 Silverado (3.42 gears, 5.3 v8). Dealer is recommending that the gear oil be changed. Is this necessary at this point? What is a fair price for this service? Most of my mileage has been towing a 2,800 lb travel trailer.
What kind of lubricant does GM 4 wheel drive use?
I believe GM requires syn for front and rear axle SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Axle Lubricant, except in the case of the auto 4 wheel drive system which does not require syn and recommends SAE 80W-90 (which seems a bit odd to me but that is out of a 2013 owners manual. I might check the service manual on this.)
