SuperDave Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 I heard on the TV news this morning something about a Chevrolet Truck recall for the brakes... who knows anything about this? I missed most of it on the news...??
SPEEDCRAVIN Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 Might not be the same thing but a couple years ago they had a brake recall with the 1/2 ton trucks. It was a steel brake line running up the drivers frame rail just in front of the drivers door. It was becasue of a rubbing contact problem. JOSH
erice Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 It's the 2000 model year only, A hydraulic pump problem that affects power steering and brakes.
Bigdogx Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 GM Recalls Over 98,000 Trucks for Steering, Braking Problems Tuesday, January 11, 2005 DETROIT — General Motors Corp. (GM) is recalling more than 98,000 pickups, vans and sport utility vehicles because of a potential problem with their power steering and braking systems, federal safety regulators said on Tuesday. An advisory on the Web site of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (search) said the problem — which can hamper but not eliminate the ability to stop or steer the vehicles — stems from fractures in their hydraulic pump driveshafts. Vehicles affected by the recall are from the 2000 model year and include Chevrolet C/K and Silverado pickups and Suburban SUVs. GMC Savana vans are also affected, along with GMC Sierra pickups and Yukon XL SUVs. GM was hit with numerous vehicle safety recalls last year and Tuesday's announcement, another blow to its recent claims of improved quality, came as it was playing host in Detroit to the North American International Auto Show
SuperDave Posted January 12, 2005 Author Report Posted January 12, 2005 Thanks guys.... now if I can only get my tailgate cables and steering intermediate shaft replaced! Were these a recall fix or a dealer discretion deal?? I haven't even called about them yet, procrastination is my weak area!

They probably have a bunch in stock. Steering shaft is not a recall, just a TSB to install a "lube kit" which I had done. Dealer doesn't sound like they are willing to replace the shaft unless the problem reoccurs or GM issues a recall. My dealer said check back from time to time as GM may issue a recall at some point. FYI my neighbor had his 2000 1500's intermediate shaft lubed 3 years ago and the clunk never reoccurred.
XGMTech Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 That's gotta be embarassing for GM, but... AT LEAST OUR TRUCKS ARE NOT BURSTING INTO FLAMES!!!

SuperDave Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Posted January 13, 2005 Did you hear the latest ad slogan from the men in the blue oval? It's something like... "Have you burned up in a Ford Lately?"
SPEEDCRAVIN Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 Well it could be like those Dodge boys and the front wheels falling off because the ball joints coming apart!!! JOSH
