-
has anyone bought and put on this shaft?
-
how is everyones new and improved shaft working? i installed mine and it felt great for awhile and now it is clunking again.....
-
well guys i installed the new and improved shaft about 600 miles ago... the truck felt so good and tight for about 200 miles... then the damn thing started clunking again... this is a total joke, the clunking is actually worse with the new shaft now than before... there has to be other issues going on here,and not the shaft , maybe the steering box or somthing... i really can not believe this crap, i have a 2004 sierra denali.. count me in.. have any others had any problems with the new and improved shaft? the stroking method lastled longer than the new shaft:O(

C ondition
Some customers may comment on a clunk-type noise coming from under the hood that also can be felt in the steering wheel. These conditions may be more noticeable when turning at low speeds on rough road surfaces.
Diagnostic Tips
Use the information below to help diagnose the source of the noise.
• Frame Snap and/or Popping Type Noise -- A frame snap or popping type noise can be duplicated on rough or smooth road surfaces with steering wheel input to the left or the right. This type of noise can be HEARD and is typically louder with the windows rolled down. For additional information, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-08-61-002F or newer -- Snap/Popping Type Noise Coming from Front of Vehicle (Remove Front Crossmember, Change Fastener Orientation).
• Intermediate Shaft Clunk -- Intermediate shaft clunk is heard and FELT in the steering wheel and/or steering column area, typically while driving on rough road surfaces with steering wheel input.
Correction
DO THIS
DON'T DO THIS
Replace the I-Shaft with P/N 19153614.
Do NOT lubricate or exercise the I-Shaft.
Important:
• I-shaft P/N 19155614 has been designed to replace previous designed dampened and non-dampened I-shafts. The physical difference in the yoke size will accommodate all vehicles listed in this bulletin.
• Due to the design of the new I-shaft, it is not possible to lubricate/grease the I-shaft.
Replace the steering column upper intermediate shaft with an improved design shaft that will eliminate the clunk noise using the procedure listed below.
Set the front wheels in the straight ahead position.
Notice: On the 2002 and later model year vehicles, the steering column LOCK was removed from the steering column. It is critical that the J 42640 - Steering column Anti-Rotation Pin is used when servicing steering columns on 2002 and later model year vehicles. Failure to use the J 42640 may result in damage to the SIR coil.
Set the steering wheel in the LOCK position on 2001 and prior model year vehicles.
For 2002 and later vehicles, install the J 42640 in the steering column lower access hole.
From under the hood, remove the lower bolt that connects the upper intermediate shaft to the steering gear coupling shaft.
Slide the shaft towards the dash in order to disengage the shaft from the steering gear coupling shaft.
For vehicles equipped with adjustable foot pedals, perform the following steps:
6.1. Reposition the carpet away from the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor.
6.2. Remove the two nuts retaining the accelerator pedal to the bulkhead.
6.3. Reposition the accelerator pedal out of the way so the intermediate shaft can be removed.
From inside the vehicle, remove the upper bolt from the upper intermediate steering shaft (1) to the steering column connection.
Remove the upper intermediate steering shaft assembly.
8.1. From inside the vehicle, slide the shaft down and off the steering column.
8.2. From inside the vehicle, slide the upper intermediate shaft through the dash boot seal and remove the shaft from the vehicle.
Replace the upper intermediate shaft.
Install the upper intermediate steering shaft through the dash boot seal and slide the lower end into the steering gear coupling shaft.
Raise the upper end of the intermediate steering shaft and install into the steering column shaft.
Install the upper bolt and nut.
Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 47 N·m (35 lb ft).
Install the lower bolt and nut.
Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 50 N·m (37 lb ft).
For vehicles equipped with adjustable foot pedals, perform the following steps:
14.1. Reposition the accelerator pedals into position on the bulkhead.
14.2. Install the two retaining nuts.
Tighten
Tighten the nuts to 20 N·m (15 lb ft).

well there are only so many bolt ons you can do to a 4l60e, the better mods will require a rebuld
id do a transgo shift kit or a superior both are good. you have a good choice of servos' and i would possibly look into a oversized boost valve i think sonex makes one.
i guess a better way to put it .. whats easily done with the tranny still in the truck?
-
hi guys...4l65e tranny... getting ready to flush out my entire tranny fluid and go with the dex vi.....
i might go with a larger tranny cooler at the same time ...
vette servo's and billet 4th... whats all this talk about a longer pin? accumulator...etc... are these bolt on mods? give me a list guys on what to do.. "bolt on wise".. i dont want to rebuild the whole tranny...lol...
the mods i have so far are... 91/93 westers tune...outlaw intake.. msd wires... iridium plugs.. coolant bypass of the throttle body.. corsa touring exhaust.. just put on a granatelli maf"it was cheap".. not sure how long that thing is gonna stay....
-
i think as of right now, you can only purchase dexron vI "6"... at the dealership.. but have heard that penzoil will have the mixture at the parts stores soon...
-
well fellows.. got it in today.. and before the ups man could get to the door.. i had him putting it the back of truck...lol... didnt take long to install... the tip is a little close to the fender than advised in the manual ..about 3/8 of a inch gap.. but it looks good.. one thing though....
when i first started it up.. at idle.. i was quickly goosing it up and down.. and i noticed a slight poping noise when letting of the gas.. almost like a tiny backfire.. is this normal until the muffler breaks in or will this occur at idle while goosing it rapidly?
the exhaust is almost the same at idle but a little deeper.. very silent in cab... kinda makes u wonder where the money went too in the cab going down the road... wanted to roll down the window.. but i cant yet.. new tint.. was almost temtped to say screw the tint though...lol... will be nice to see how it does tommarow ... only driven about 2 miles so far
-
yes.. have heard alot of good things about corsa.. just wish it would hurry up and get here.. a buddy of mine is finishing up installing a lift.. he says he wants to try it out , when he gets done... should be pretty easy to do
-
lol... well i just got finished wacking off my truck...lol...
kept my wheel straight.. took the bolt out.. pushed in the center shaft..dropped the bottom shaft.. and commenced to stroking in and out about 10-15 times... just make sure you bottom out on the top stroke..pushing into the firewall ..and i guess try not twisting the shaft
guess what?... it actually worked!! i guess my truck released some of its built up tension...with the help of my expert hand massaging..lol...
no more clunking..seriously.. for how long..who knows?
-
the search is over.. i went ahead and ordered the corsa touring... i couldnt resist the price.. and the sound
in the meantime.. i figured i might add some high flow cats.. what are the best brands to look at? what size?..... and should a x-pipe be added if i choose to do this mod?... 2.5 or 3 inch?........ what is the stock size exhaust on our trucks? i was told the stock manifolds flow pretty decent...
-
does the steering wheel move freely once this bolt is out? or do you have to actually go inside the cab and turn it whith some force to actually make it turn?
-
yes it is a hard choice...lol... take a look at these exhausts systems zoomers.. some nice ones in there..
just scroll down and hit play video's on the links.. i really like the sound of that jeep srt8 taking off... what compares to that sound?
they don't have a kit for the sd or ss yet... but the man said he can send out everything to do the job... any muffler shop should be able to complete.... http://www.zoomersexhaust.com/vehicle_chevrolet_tahoe.asp
here is a caddy one http://zoomersexhaust.com/vehicle_cadillac_cts_v.asp
here is a avalanche one also.. not bad on the take off and seems very quiet on the interior when he was close to 100mph...lol
here is a nice jeep srt8 it really lurches forward
http://zoomersexhaust.com/vehicle_jeep_cherokee_srt8.asp
http://zoomersexhaust.com/v ehicle_chevrolet_avalanche.asp
i think there was a hummer on there and a few others

Personally, I found the B&B to be too loud - had it for a week and changed to a Magnaflow. If you have a wife or entertain clients with your truck, B&B, in my opinion, is not a good choice.
the wife wouldnt really mind.. but i do entertain clients... going to there home..selling..etc.. that is what i was worried about .. blaring up there driveway...etc.. which magnaflow did you use? happen to have a sound clip?
-
hey guys... i am having a hard time deciding which exhaust to get... here are the 2 choices...
corsa touring vs b&b , rear exits di/do
they are pretty much the same price... mod wise .. have the westers tune.. outlaw cai.. msd's..etc..the truck is a 2004 sierra denali 6.0.. the most i will ever do to the truck in the furture might be some high flow cats and headers...
whats gonna sound the best with the possible future mods? also are the corsa touring muffs just as free flowing as the di/do on the b&b ones?.... help me decide..lol.. i can slip this past the wife.. just have to make a decision soon..lol
does anyone have a sound clip of the b&b di/do to the rear.. on there trucks?..would like to hear that one
-
I have the exact same noise when coast ing through traffic and its sounds like the torque converter is engaging at to high of an RPM
well it hasnt done it in awhile just that particular day... i think it is the viscious coupling in the transfer case... and at certain times and at certain loads under light throttle it will get confused sometimes..lol... but i think it is normal under certain conditions and loads ... i am surprised more things dont clunk and knock around with everything going on especially since mine has 4wheel steering
-
hi guys... when traveling around 15-20 mph , if i hit the throttle fast and let off fast i get a audible clunking noise, pretty noticable.... it is coming from the mid-front... is this a joint or just normal free play on the awd system?...........
