Dr Mike Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Well in to shop again she goes... We had weird weather here in my neck of the woods, snow, freezing rain, rain followed by sub zero, more snow and so on. Got stuck in one of my buddies back yard trying to show virtue of AWD of the SS. Only thing I got to show him were 3 wheels actually working and the fourth that would have got me out of the mess and left front was not moving and no sign of life at all. Out of pocket $40.00 for tow truck to winch me out and have to leave it at dealer for a few days... Anyone else have this problem??

Deebo Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Your luck sounds like mine. There's nothing wrong with the SS though due to an open diff up front with no locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBSS Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Has your warranty run out? Chevy has free roadside assistance (towing included) for 3yrs/36k miles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2drTahoe Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Here's an interesting discussion from a while back about AWD, 4WD, and H2s http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3819 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwalls54 Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 uh you are only going to have 3 wheels spinning, one in the front and both rear. even 4wds dont have all 4 spinning. most only spin one in the front and one in the rear. you have to have a locker in both front and rear to get all 4 spinning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 there is currently an e-locker from eaton and an arb air locker available for the front diff in the 3/4 ton and larger trucks, but none for the half ton's yet. the awd part is pure sarcasm...

Dr Mike Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Thanks for all the info.. Looks like it's normal, I've learnt about AWD the hard way. My friend is is having a field day telling everyone that buddy had to get towed out... Oh well, Dr Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2drTahoe Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Zippy did I hear that you are starting a project to add the H2 ABS system to an SS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 no way, before i did something like that i'd weld the spider gears together. i like diffs locked, not using the brakes to control tire spin.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
