cerbomark Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 This post (I believe) is mixing up two different problems. One the the 40-50 MPH noise and the other is a different noise coming in a slow speeds with the wheels turned. I ve heard both of them and they are two different things.

wutrbonc Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Wow, the day after I filed my BBB claim I got another call from GM. Now they seem like they really want to help me. My truck is already scheduled to go back to the dealer tomorrow so they can investigate the noise further. I think it is funny that there was no help at all until I put in a claim with the BBB. Well, I will let you guys know what happens. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69ttop502 Posted February 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Well, it continues. While pulling my truck out of the garage I noticed oil on the ground right under the front differential. Upon closer inspection it was definitely gear oil. I took my truck in yesterday and was told today they need it until Monday. They are replacing some seals they say is unrelated to the work they have already done on the truck to fix this noise. Thankfully I am in a situation right now that I don't NEED the truck but this makes about 12 days now out of service chasing this problem of the noise and related front diff. problems that GM says is normal. Rick, I will be anxiously awaiting your results with the BBB process because I am right behind you. I have had enough with this truck already as much as I love it. Bill.

Parker8 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 i also am interested to see what GM is going to do now that you contacted the BBB. please keep us informed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wutrbonc Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Well got my truck back from the service department today. Once again they say it is normal. They are not covering their tracks though. The first time they stated that the noise was, "driveline winding up from big wheels and tires and is normal." This time they stated, "L wheel bearing noise most noticeable." I don't know, but got my BBB claim form in the mail and am filling it out now. PA lemon law states that the law can be enforced if the condition significantly reduces the value of the vehicle. I do not know anyone that will buy my turck with that sound. And would they really believe me if I told them it was normal. I'll keep you informed Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
