slj Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Quick update to those that had the intermediate shaft replaced over 2 months ago. 6 months ago I had the shaft regreased. Temporarily fixed issue. Took back 2 months later and they replaced shaft with new updated shaft. Loose steering feeling came back again and I went in yesterday and found out they have a replacement for the replacement. All covered under warranty but just fyi if you've already replaced, you may need an updated replacement shaft.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwest94 Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I just got a safety recall notice in the mail yesterday regarding the steering shaft, didn't know there was one issued. Oh well, mine is fixed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55chevy Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 2003 Tahoe, went in for clunking steering. They knew what it was right away, made appointment for the next day=fixed. No more clunking. They had the parts in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_w Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Can we do our own waranty work? It's a serious pain in the a** for me to get to the dealer and play games with getting rides to and from there for something as simple as tailgate cables... which I could swap in the parking lot in 2 minutes flat. Anyone know how much the steering shaft costs? I may be willing to pay for it out of my pocket, rather than leave the truck at the dealer. Anyone know what exactly rattles? I had mine apart, and stopped the rattling by cranking down the center bolt damn tight, and I "externally" lubed up both ends of the shaft. (don't go there) It's rattling again just a bit, but not as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyinTurbo Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 i went to the dealer this morning and they ordered the part for me. they also told me it was on back order. i should have it installed under warrenty in a few weeks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is this being replaced under warranty with no mileage limitations? I've got 40k on my SS now and have had the noise for about 6k miles... just been too busy to get the truck into the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WisconsinSS Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Still waiting also. They told me they have 35 on order and have only recieved one in the last 2 months. They are gonna lube it Thursday. They said that will work for a month or so untill the new shaft comes in. This is starting to piss me off!

FlyinTurbo Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Ok, just took my 44k mile truck in and asked for this to be replaced. The service advisor says that its not a recall item and that it wont be replaced on my truck. I thought this was a recall issue/item and would be replaced outside of warranty?! Anyone have any evidence to support this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbohrs Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Just went in for my 6000 mi service. I also mentioned about the clunk and asked them to check it out. I came back to the service bay about a half hour after I dropped off the truck and the tech was just finishing up the oil and filter. He saw me watching and came over and told me he still had to replace the intermediate shaft and put on new tailgate cables. THEY ACTUALLY HAD THE SHAFT IN STOCK., but this is a large volume dealer and I imagine they ordered quite a few of these already. This was quite a change from the runaround that I got from the dealer whereI bought the truck. They just kept telling me that the parts supplier is way behind on backorders and it doesn't do any good to put an order in until they get caught up. Why couldn't they just put one on order and get on the list. Lotsa B.S. if you ask me. Anyway, I just pulled their dealer decal off the tailgate...they can get free advertising from someone else. BTW the truck drives like a dream with that new shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
