Anyone out there experiencing a clunk, clunk sound like an electric motor hitting a stop in the 2005 GMC Sierra? Mine has less than 4200 miles on it and this sound has surprised me twice in the last two weeks. Other than that the truck is/has been excellent. Even medium towing.

Hi, New Guy Here I just bought a 2000 GMC Ex-Cab 4.8L and already it has been taken back to the dealer twice for repairs all before my first payment! I will tell you what has been done and then let you know my most recent problem. 1. Fuel Gauge Sensor Replaced - 2. PW - Window Regulator - 3. Power Steering Unit and Steering Shaft - 4. Heater Fan - 5. Alignment, Rotate Tires - Now - Has anyone had this problem... In the rear-end, Take off and not only hear a clunk noise, but feel it go through the driveline. Really notice it when taken off at an angle (forward or reverse) such as from a bottom of a hill. For the most part, it when taking off from a stop. The dealer has checked the universal joints, yoke, springs, shocks, u-bolts etc... Dealers response? "This is normal" I know when you shift gears from say, reverse to drive - yes it does make a "normal" noise, but what I am hearing is LOUD. Note; This was not happening when I first bought the truck, maybe 3-4 weeks after. Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks All

Replying to: dryodt (Aug 25, 2005 7:18 am) I'm not having much luck with mine. I'm almost suspecting body flex at a seam but it's too difficult to diagnose unless I got a little guy to ride underneath when I go four wheelin'. Any takers? Good luck. - Tim

Tenga here. Been a while, the forum is like my CB, I only use it, when I need it. Just got back from a 2 week trip, with out the 2002 2600HD crew cab. I went to move the seat backwards and only one side (rail) would move. The seat was then moved forward and again only one side would more (same side that moved to the rear). When I say moved, the movement is only 3/4 to an I ". I look under the seat to see if the seat was catching on anything. As far as I could tell there was nothing on the rail or anything snagging the seat. Your help would be appreciated. Tenga

When I change modes (floor, vents, defroster, etc.) on my 2004 Sierra 1500, nothing happens. It seems like the air diverter door is stuck. Anyone else have this problem?

My 5.0 Vortec has been giving me lots of grief with ignition problems, it will run super for about an hour, and then regular as clockwork it starts to run like its only on two cylinders, It happened about four months ago and I replaced coil, distributor,wires, plugs, cap, rotor. And this fixed the problem, but now its back, my manual shows a coil driver in the manual but no description what it does, does anyone know if this could be the problem ?. Its the small black thing on the same bracket as the coil, not sure if this is the problem or not, but I've replaced everything else. I could set my watch with how this truck runs, almost right on an hour of running time it really starts stumbling and grumbling almost undriveable, if I stop and turn the truck off and wait five minutes, it runs fine when I start back up, but goes bad pretty quickly after that. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

My old 89 3500 R/V rust bucket dump has another rusted steel brake line with a hole just as it enters the power brake booster (?) near the back of the truck. My Chilton's Guide doesn't really show a good diagram of what is back here, so I'm guessing that this is what it is! The line that is leaking is the long hose which leads from the booster toward the front of the vehicle along the frame. I wish it were the 6 inch line which ran just underneath this longer line! I'm trying to find an illustrated parts diagram showing or info about how and where this Intermediate brake line connects to other hoses at the front. This line looks very long, appearing longer than the standard 60" steel brake line length, and while the back connection to the booster is easy to get to, I've not yet found the front connection fitting. Can anyone point me in the direction of a parts diagram - perhaps at an online catalog site, or even print catalog - showing the steel brake lines for this truck? Also, I'd welcome any suggestion on how to make this repair a bit easier. Due to all the rust, replacing the rear brake line attached to the left rear wheel was a killer. I'd like to find the most efficient solution to this challenge before I jump in. Any suggestions are appreciated! Bill B. Pittsboro, NC |
