  5. Front Diff Warranty

    in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech

    Posted

    Warden- No i bought it from a small dealer, not an actual GM registered shop. They have all of their word done down the street at the Chevy dealer. The warranty is from NYS not GM. So basically im stuck. The dealer i bought it from only covers as much of the work as his Chevy dealer would charge him... which is a shit ton less because of "return business". Took it to a local dealer.. they told me in order to see what is wrong they would have to tear the cover off again... long story short, making that drive again next week. Did the figure 8's and had no change.. Bought RP to put in it after the "break in" for the nnew bearings but im not going to put $40 worth of fluid in there until i have it checked again.

     

     

    desrtrat- thats what im afraid to hear from them. I'm hoping they will hear it and at least TRY to fix it by replacing the front and back pinion bearings..fingersx.gif i will at least know they are fresh. We will see..

     

     

    THANKS FOR THE INPUT GUYS! cheers.gif

    OK so after taking my truck in for the rebuild, they diagnosed the problem further after they got the cover off the front diff... They came to conclusion that just the carrier bearings were bad and would not replace all of the bearings. OK i said.. no big deal as long as the growl was gone and they give me an extended warranty on this repair. Done deal - one year coverage on the work. (my limited is up at the end of april)

     

    NOW while turning at low speed, with my foot off the throttle, i hear a growl/grind. When i step on it a bit it, the growl goes away. Should i take it back to them again? Or is this "normal" like they told me over the phone?? Again... im asking because the dealer i bought if from is 3 fricken hours away form me and not open on the weekend for repairs. that = missing ANOTHER day of work

     

    BTW i read pretty much every post on this and just cant make a decision on it being normal or not haha

    I have read the posts about the whine and realize it is probably the front diff making the noise... Over the weekend i changed the fluid. The old stuff came out grey. No chunks / metal pieces were in the pan but there was a lot of shavings on the magnet. Put Mobil 1 75-90 in it.. noise still there. I have a powertrain warranty from the dealer / NYS for the next month and a half, so my question is... with this whine, is it enough to get coverage on it? the only reason im asking is because the dealer i bought it from is small and 3 hours away from where I live. Any help is appreciated.

    Good deal, you won't be dissapointed! I wonder if the air scoop that goes down to the bottom grill duct makes it any better or just a useless peice?

     

     

    I wonder the same thing... I'll save the 100 bucks for now and put it twards a tune.

    very nice. I'm still torn here... K&N or Volant. I really like the way volant looks in there.. have you noticed a difference other than the sound? Ive seen / read all the CAI write ups... still cant decide.

     

    On a side note, the shopman really finishes off the front end of these trucks. Chevy should have done this straight from the factory!

  15. Front Differential Oil Question

    Im thinking about changing the front diff oil in my 03 SS because ive been hearing a howling noise that sounds like its coming from the front and I just want to make sure everything in there looks good since I have to make the drive from Florida to Connecticut in a couple weeks. I was jus wondering what everyone uses or oil and how much oil the front diff actually take so I know how much to put back in and also how big of a container I need to drain the old fluid into. I also noticed it looks like I have a leak right where the front drive shaft goes into the front diff so I also just want to make sure theres enough fluid in there to get me home so I can have my shop do it instead of having a shop do it down here who I really dont know.

    Yea the SS is embedded in it.. the color of it is not a perfect match to the 2 squares below it ( with the passenger airbag / plain one) its more of a dark grey. A little darker than the seats. Ill get another pic of it today with a little more light.

    I just bought my 03 sSS... when I got to the dealer the SS badge was missing. Previous owner must have wanted a keepsake.. so I had them replace it through a dealer before I went back in to pick it up. Here's the thing... The SS is not raised / sprayed silver. It looks like the ones on ebay for $25 (gm dealer charged them $93 and change for it, seen the invoice) . Does anyone have one of the originals up for sale?!? I could always get one of the "Intimidator" inserts from ebay but thats not what i want...

    My buddy was at the gym I go to a few days a week (Fitness19 in Depew) yesterday. I get a message from him with a pic of the Red SSS with a shopman1 bowtie sitting there in the parking lot. Ive never seen this one before... especially there. WHO IS IT? ...

     

    Nice truck. Sss's are few and far between around here... when the weather breaks we gotta cruise. thumb.gif
