I second the "lower stance" idea. Count me in on 1 either way..

Being from Buffalo... i feel you're pain!! It was 80 yesterday, with rain ALL DAY. Tomorrow's high is 45. I just don't get it.

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.. i will at least know they are fresh. We will see.. THANKS FOR THE INPUT GUYS!

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

welcome to the site! Trucks look sick man..

If anyone is paying attention... She needs a complete rebuild. $1015 and change. GLAD MY WARRANTY COVERED IT!! I think fluid changes once a year are now in order.

that looks sick man.

yea.. worked it out with dealer to let me take it to a local shop. Jasper engine had them listed on their website. Lets hop i get some "good" news today

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.

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

SOLD! Volant it is. Yea that site is great! Haven't found a cheaper price on anything.

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!

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.

HAHA I will do my best

Thanks for the offer... Let me know.

I actually bought it from shopman... ordered it a week before i picked up the truck. First thing i did when i got home is slap it on!

thanks for the tip!

Still needs a good detail (and some sun) but here they are... ! (sorry about the small pics... still figuring out how to resize.. )
