ablue04 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 To all of you guys with the famous front end growl/grind. If you are under warranty, just keep bitching. The GM engineer told my dealer to order a new front diff from GM after failed attempts at just replacing parts. The dealer called today, and said the GM front diff is discontinued, so they ordered me a complete front diff from Jasper, which I have wanted all along. I hope problem solved, since my truck has been in the shop for almost two months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 That Jasper isn't going to be much better than the GM one with new parts in it. Back in Michigan there were local shops that tried that to fix the noisey front diff's in the AWD trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's common for 03' and 04's in the cold weather. Depending on your milage it's likely under the new special policy warrenty which extended the warrenty on that. It's something like 7/70 or so.
