Blown 346 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Nice.... Atleast you broke it right the first time. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSenvy Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 MY g80 has been acting up a bit aswell. It was clunking when posi would engage, had my drivetrain guy look at it, and he said its got about 15-20k miles left... These trucks are money pits..... seriously. I lovehate this truck. I have to say my 91 chevy that i had for 12 years was better. The SS is more fun to drive i guess Although after he drained it, serviced it and whatnot, it hasnt clunked since.. /confused Hopefully your new rear end works well for ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tayldss Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) These trucks are money pits..... seriously. I lovehate this truck. No doubt. I threw $5500 at my SS in parts/maintenance last year. Continue to justify it because no more truck payment and still have a badass truck. There's no truck, like our trucks. Good luck getting it back together and on the road! Edited February 9, 2013 by tayldss (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have also shot the clutches with some brake cleaner to clean them out. Keep your eye on it, if it starts to act up again, plan on a replacement, you don't want yours to let go like the OP's did......
